I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in anxiety, trauma triggers or emotional disconnection. With individuals, I help people move through overwhelm, people-pleasing, shutdown, and self-protection that once helped them survive but now feels limiting. With couples, I offer emotionally focused counseling to support rebuilding trust, communication, and intimacy. My approach is holistic, somatic and creative, supporting deeper connection with yourself and others.
My approach is to empower you to rebuild trust in yourself and enjoy your relationships. I combine somatic therapy, expressive arts, and nervous system work to help process what isn’t accessible through words alone. I support you to find your strength and clarity when closeness, conflict, vulnerability, or relationships feel difficult.
Many clients come to me seeking somatic and expressive art therapy to reduce anxiety and support trauma recovery. If you struggle with worry, people pleasing, feeling on edge and relaxing in your relationships, you may be stuck in a trauma survival response called fawning. Please schedule consult to explore your next step in recovery.
