I help sensitive, creative, and intelligent people come home to themselves—body, soul, and relationship. My work supports those seeking greater aliveness, meaning, and intimacy with life. As a depth-oriented and somatic therapist, I guide you beneath the surface to uncover the patterns, emotions, and unconscious dynamics shaping your experience. We’ll explore the wisdom of your body, the richness of your inner world, and your connection to nature, culture, and something greater.
I offer grounded, soulful support for women’s and men’s work—guiding sensitive, growth-oriented people through healing attachment wounds, reclaiming inner authority, and deepening self-trust, purpose, and connection. I also specialize in intimacy, embodiment, trauma, and life transitions.
You can experience more presence and pleasure, a deeper connection with purpose, and greater ease in your body and relationships. My approach is warm and collaborative, integrating somatic work, archetypal imagery, mindfulness, and holistic, nature-based perspectives. If you’re feeling the call to live more fully, I’d love to hear from you.
