Something in you has been trying to get your attention for a long time. Maybe it's anxiety that never fully quiets, even on good days. Exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. Relationships that knock you off center in ways you can't explain. Or chronic tension, headaches, digestive issues, pain that doctors keep dismissing. These aren't separate problems. They're often the same thing, speaking different languages. Maybe your childhood looked fine on paper. That's made it harder to trust that what you're carrying is real, or that you deserve help that actually works.
I specialize in treating trauma at the root, not just coping. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Meadows-trained in Post Induction Therapy, I work where talk therapy alone can't reach: your nervous system, your body, the earliest relational wounds that shaped how you see yourself. Real change is possible. Not just acceptance and management.
I've walked this path myself. I know what it feels like when therapy finally works, and how rare that is. If you've spent years feeling like something is fundamentally wrong with you, I want you to know: your symptoms make sense, and you are not broken. Reach out for a free consultation. Let's find out if we're a good fit.

Many of my clients come in feeling stuck. They understand their patterns but can't seem to change them. I work with trauma, codependency, burnout, and anxiety using somatic and experiential approaches that reach where talk therapy alone often can't. Most clients begin to feel a shift in how they inhabit their body and relationships within the first few months of consistent work.
