Accepting NEW Clients! Do you struggle with unexplainable body aches, pains, insomnia, weight gain, anxiety, depression, relational issues, or familial conflicts? If any of these describes you, your body may be reacting and holding on to trauma. Trauma can be acute, chronic or complex and often are developed during our childhood years and many times is unconsciously passed down from our parents. I work with clients to battle their body from both a physical and mental standpoint in regards to their trauma. I specialize in healing trauma by getting to the root cause.

In a world where we are constantly experiencing trauma, both directly and indirectly, it can be difficult to identify how deeply different things in life affect us. I believe that the experience of feeling understood can be the catalyst for change and something that allows for healing to begin. I aim to provide a space of healing, openness and exploration for those things that you might otherwise suppress or carry with heaviness or judgment. Together, we can heal that unresolved stuff from the past and create skills to support you through future circumstances.

Do you find yourself struggling with all the constant shifts in life these days, on top of any grief, stress, depression, trauma or anxiety that you could have already been experiencing?
