Somatic Therapy for Anxiety & Trauma in Women: Burnout, Fertility & Nervous System Healing ....
On the outside you look fine—but inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected.
My clients are often high-functioning women who are successful on the outside yet quietly struggling with chronic stress, racing thoughts, burnout, and emotional fatigue. You may feel stuck in survival mode, disconnected from your body, your joy, and your authentic self. You don’t just want more coping skills—you’re ready for deeper healing that actually lasts.

Therapy is a space to slow down and be honest about what you’ve been through, the pain you’ve carried, and the parts of you still trying to heal. My goal is to create a safe, grounded space where you can feel heard, seen, and supported at your own pace. Together, we’ll gently explore the patterns that shaped you, not with judgment, but with curiosity and compassion. We’ll pay attention not only to your thoughts and emotions, but also to how your body has learned to respond to stress, fear, or overwhelm. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about reconnecting with who you are beneath the survival strategies.

I believe that as human beings, we are all born with a natural drive to connect with others in meaningful, caring relationships. Yet, we each experience this drive in unique ways, shaped by our biology, social environment, and sometimes, life’s painful challenges. Whether it's through attachment, human development, or neurological factors, I approach therapy by integrating person-centered approaches, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed practices with the goal of helping clients feel safe, empowered, and less alone.

I believe that humans have a natural predisposition towards growth and healing, however things often show up in our lives as barriers that get in the way of that innate ability. It is my job to facilitate a safe and collaborative environment to help identify and work through those barriers, uniquely adapted to each individual. This is accomplished through the use of modalities such as attachment theory, narrative/parts work and interpersonal neurobiology, all with a trauma informed lens. I am certified as a Circle of Security (parenting skills) facilitator and a therapeutic gaming (RPG) facilitator through Game To Grow.
