You've read the books. Listened to the podcasts. Endlessly analyzed your sun, moon, and rising sign. Maybe you've even tried therapy before. You understand yourself pretty well and yet something still feels stuck... You may be the person who holds everything together, thinks deeply about everything, and is highly attuned to other people's needs, while quietly wondering why you can't seem to trust yourself or feel fully at ease in your own life. You don't need more advice about what you “should” do. You need space to understand what's happening underneath the pattern and support actually changing it.
I offer relational somatic therapy that works with your whole system. Using Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and depth psychology, we'll slow down enough to hear what your body and nervous system have been trying to tell you. Clients describe me as a compassionate guide who helps them see and experience things differently.
Whether you have been in talk therapy for years but feel a disconnect between your head and body, you tend to avoid intimacy, you are moving through a difficult transition, or you are ready to feel more present in your own life, I would love to connect. Schedule a free consultation through my website below.
