Do your mind and body feel out of sync? Disconnected, anxious, overwhelmed? Are you worried about being put in a clinical box & want a real life approach to therapy? Maybe you're navigating chronic stress, burnout, trauma, anxiety, people-pleasing, maternal mental health concerns, or parenting stress & looking for mindful & somatic care. I integrate nervous system education, yoga, meditation, cognitive theory, and practical coping tools to support nervous system healing and your everyday life. Let's take the weight off your shoulders & nurture your inner wisdom while sharing a gentle, direct, & meaningful therapeutic relationship.
I support adults living with anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, trauma, perfectionism, depression, and motherhood or parenting overwhelm with trauma-informed Somatic therapy. Using a relational real-world approach, our sessions are mindful, educational, practical, and empathetic with a focus on how the body and mind work together to support your wellbeing.
I believe healing begins when you feel safe enough to be your full human self. With over 16 years of experience, I invite you to explore your dynamic human condition in the safety of a therapeutic space that supports your mind, body, and spirit. For evidenced based, mindful, and somatic therapy, reach out for a free consult today!

I often pull from Mindfulness & Somatic therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, Narrative Theory, ACT, & IFS. We will use these theories in collaboration with a strengths-based, relational & deeply empathetic client/counselor relationship to find intuitive meaning, purpose, and inner joy. Ultimately, learning that even during your hardest moments, you are always deserving of love, healing, & growth.
