You might be feeling stuck in ways that disrupts your quality of life and creative potential, desiring to heal wounds from painful life experiences, adjusting to a big change, or grieving a loss that carries great significance and impact. You’re here because you’re looking for a safe, supportive, judgment free space to heal and grow. You’ve tried traditional talk therapy but need an approach that values the wisdom of the body-mind connection. You’re ready to process feelings, sensations and ways of being that no longer serve you. You’re motivated for a life that feels whole, authentic, and connected.
I provide a trauma-informed, somatic approach to healing that values staying curious and being fully present with each of my clients. Together, we’ll work to release the charge of stress and trauma on your nervous system, mind, and spirit. You’ll feel secure in your ability to be yourself and approach your future with confidence.
There's no shame in exploring different aspects of your experiences, identity, and relationships.Taking time to attune to your mind, feelings, body, relationships or values is a powerful expression of self-compassion and healing. I welcome you to reach out to me. I will meet you where you are and explore how we can work together to reach your wellness goals.
