You hold it all together, until you can’t. Maybe spirals of anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or shame are weighing on you. Your mind may feel hijacked by OCD and intrusive thoughts. Or perhaps you’ve reached a point where your body is saying “enough,” with overwhelm, shutdown, or a sense of disconnection you can’t quite name. You’re not broken. Your distress makes sense. Healing is possible. I support adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, chronic illness, and living with the lingering effects of childhood trauma. Together, we'll slow down, deepen understanding, and build greater safety and trust in yourself.

My work is relational and collaborative, grounded in somatic therapy, IFS (parts work), and nervous system healing. This means I honor your inner wisdom, your pacing, and attune to what’s showing up in the present moment - both in your body and what's happening between us. For clients with OCD, I offer evidence-based treatment using I-CBT and ACT.

My hope is that therapy can feel like a homecoming, a place where you can let go, explore, and reconnect with yourself. I’d be honored to support you in your journey towards greater presence, connection, and ease within yourself and your relationships. Let’s see if we’re a good fit.

Vagal Toning for Nervous System Regulation

Hosted by

Kristen Bredar

Join me for a restorative practice group designed to help you calm anxiety, release tension, and support your nervous system through gentle, body-based practices. Vagal toning helps the body shift from stress to safety by activating the vagus nerve through simple exercises like tapping, facial massage, and breathwork. These practices can bring more balance, clarity, and ease into your daily life when used regularly. Together, we’ll create a supportive space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and build a toolkit for self-regulation and resilience. No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to care for yourself.
