Somatic Christian therapist

English

| Español

Helping you restore safety in your body, feel lighter, and build confidence. Ever since those bad things happened to you, you find yourself stuck in either a fight, flight, or freeze response. The overthinking makes you spiral and it’s hard to calm your mind or body. Although you’ve been in therapy before, they haven't been able to offer healing that goes beyond insight. Past therapists may have made you feel judged, disconnected, or like you were "too much" for them to handle. They couldn’t get to the core of the issue: the shame, guilt, and unworthiness inside. But therapy can be different this time around.

I specialize in working with therapists and helping professionals helping them move from feeling stuck in past trauma to feeling confident in who they are. With more than 13 years of experience, I integrate EMDR, Somatic experiencing, and parts work to heal trauma that's held in both the mind and body.

In sessions, we will slow down, tend to your nervous system to discharge stuck energy, and help restore safety in your body. Our work is attuned, depth-oriented, and paced to support sustained change. If you're seeking healing that isn't just learning some coping skills, but healing at a body level book our consult call today!
