My passion is supporting parents who have experienced difficult births. Bringing another life into this world is an important and challenging experience. Whether you are the individual who gave birth or a witness, there can be immediate and/or lasting waves of physical and emotional difficulties that may effect your life. These paths are unique to each of us because every birth is important and impactful. My work is to listen and journey with you as you explore your birth story and the impacts it has had on your life. Although this is an area of focus, I work with adolescents and adults needing support in other areas of life.

It's hard to ask for help, and talking can only get us so far. Our bodies carry memories, feelings, and experiences that don't always make sense or that we are unable to express through words. Stress and overwhelm is literally stored in the body in the form of pain, tension, numbness, and dissociation. By giving our body a voice we can reshape our nervous system through self awareness and skill building for greater ease in connection with ourselves and others.

Feeling lost in the constant motion of life? Craving stability and self-compassion in all of the chaos? Struggling with patterns or habits that no longer feel like YOU?

Are anxious or depressed? Are you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted with parenting and family life? Have you experienced a loss of some kind? A loved one, a job, a home, your health, or any other loss. Telling your story can help you move through the pain and suffering to get to the other side.

Reaching out can be insanely difficult and vulnerable at times, I get it. Come in, have some tea, see if the connection feels right for you. I'm here to offer my heart, love, guidance, resources and a safe cozy space for sharing and moving through what may be stuck or needing extra attention. I am here to wade through the gunk with you and also to help you see through and beyond it. At times that means I might direct and re-direct you away from the story, away from the chatter and the thoughts and into your body, connecting with your nervous system, with your sensations, with your authentic self.

I am passionate about supporting individuals in creating a life that the soul longs to live and express in the world. This journey takes hope, courage, and vulnerability, and I would be honored to be the gentle and firm guide to support you to create the life that you desire.

Relationship habits with our intimate partners can create familiarity and easefulness—they can also inhibit a fresh and fulfilling way of being together. When relationship shortcuts create disconnection or even hurtful interactions, we feel misunderstood and not seen for our true hopes and intentions. I support you to slow down and connect in the present moment where the power resides to develop a whole-body intimacy with a partner. It is in the here and now where you can reawaken the creativity and integrity of your connection.

I offer somatic psychotherapy, energetic, and intuitive support for working through trauma, recovering a sense of aliveness, and connecting with the wisdom that naturally moves through each of us. Our sessions often start by coming into connection, safety and regulation in the moment. Often times, the symptoms and issues we experience are rooted in dysregulation in our nervous systems. Our time is rooted in expanding resource, a sense of well being in the moment, so that more difficult material can begin to integrate.
