You're going about your day, but your jaw is clenched, your shoulders feel tight, and your stomach churns. Even though intellectually you know you're not being chased by a bear, your body isn't getting the message. It's frustrating that daily tasks take up so much bandwidth, leaving you pretty spent by the end of the day. You have a decent amount of self awareness, but you feel stuck when it comes to taking care of your present experience, like your nervous system takes you on a roller coaster ride, sometimes seemingly out of nowhere. It's exhausting. You're ready to get out of your head and into your body.
My approach combines talk therapy with somatic techniques to catch these moments and help your body feel safe enough to be in the moment. We get curious about what's coming up & what your body is holding that insight alone hasn't shifted. This is how we make lasting change while navigating anxiety, grief & trauma, low self worth, or seeking authenticity.
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, welcome, and understood. I offer LGBTQ+ and Gender affirming care and welcome all identities. We'll go at your pace, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals. I know it's vulnerable and overwhelming to search for a therapist. I welcome all inquires so please don't feel shy to reach out!

With over a decade of experience, I use my anatomy training from my massage license to inform my somatic therapeutic approach to healing & nervous system support. I could go on and on about the way anatomy informs our emotional experience and vice versa and how to use this feedback loop for healing.

Somatic essentially means "of the body". It is the practice of using the body as a source of information. It's about noticing, building awareness, getting curious about, and tending to the body's experience as an essential part of our overall wellness. We'll also regularly incorporate the wisdom of the mind through psychodynamics and mindful self compassion approaches.
