Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected form yourself, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Are you having increased difficulty navigating daily life and relationships because of your marginalized identity and/or body? As a queer and nonbinary therapist, I both specialize in and relate to these issues, and I have several years of experience with children and adults alike. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, attachment wounds, religious trauma, identity issues, or chronic overwhelm, I support clients in working WITH their bodies - not against them - so that healing can happen from the inside out.
I offer body-based, trauma-informed therapy to help you reconnect with yourself, regulate your nervous system, and build the resilience needed to move through life with more ease and self-trust. Strategies include CBT, DBT, and somatic techniques. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and deeply affirming of who you are and where you've been.
Many people navigating trauma experience deep disconnection from themselves. At Embodied Paths, I create space to safely process the impact of rigid belief systems, spiritual abuse, and shame-based conditioning, helping you reconnect with your body, emotions, intuition, and your own sense of self.
Healing is possible. You don’t have to carry it all alone.
