Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from yourself? Perhaps you’re struggling with trauma, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, addiction, or a major life transition. My clients are people seeking more than symptom relief—they want to better understand the deeper patterns that shape their lives, heal emotional wounds, release old trauma energies trapped in their body, and create lasting change. Together we explore the patterns that keep you stuck while helping you develop greater resilience, authenticity, and emotional well-being.
I offer Awareness-Based Somatic Psychotherapy, integrating mindfulness, attachment theory, parts work, trauma-informed care, shadow work and body-centered approaches. Rather than talking about problems alone, we gently explore how emotions and beliefs are held in the body, supporting deep and lasting healing.
Seeking support takes courage, and you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I strive to offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly seen and understood. For those who are interested, I can also integrate mindfulness and contemplative practices into therapy in a grounded and psychologically informed way.
