If you’re here, something in you is asking for care. You may feel anxious, stuck, or exhausted from holding it together. Maybe you understand your patterns, yet your body still feels on edge. You might be navigating trauma, attachment wounds, relationship strain, life transitions, or supporting a struggling child. You’re not looking for a quick fix, and you want meaningful, lasting change. You want to feel safer in your body, more connected in your relationships, and more at home within yourself.
I work relationally with everyone using eveidence based practices like: IFS-informed therapy, EMDR and Somatic EMDR. I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) in training and certified in Transforming Touch (TEBB). My holistic approach honors mind, body, and spirit, gently supporting trauma healing, nervous system regulation, and deeper connection.
I work with individuals, couples, groups, and families of all ages. As an artist, I see the beauty and potential in each person I meet. I use creative, collaborative approaches to co-create a healing path that feels uniquely yours. If you’re ready for support that feels steady and deeply attuned, I would be honored to partner with you.
