Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions—or the emotions of others? Maybe you struggle to set boundaries, feel responsible for how others feel, or can’t remember the last time you felt like yourself. You might notice anxiety, shutdown, or reactivity that doesn’t make sense, no matter how much insight you have. This is often the impact of trauma living in the nervous system. Therapy can help you understand these patterns and begin to feel more grounded, clear, and like yourself again.

I specialize in trauma and nervous system healing, working with complex trauma, relational wounds, and chronic stress or medical conditions. Using somatic experiencing, parts work, and relational approaches, we’ll gently work with the patterns keeping you stuck so your system can begin to shift.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and attuned to your pace. We won’t just talk about your experiences—we’ll work with how they live in your body so change feels real and lasting. I offer a free 15–20 minute consultation to see if we’re the right fit.

Specializing in somatic therapies, I support individuals through body-centered and mindful approaches. We will work together to break free from automatic patterns that can keep you stuck. By exploring and releasing these old patterns, such as people-pleasing, suppressing your needs, or navigating fears around success, we aim to foster greater flexibility and resilience in your life.
