You don’t have to navigate this on your own. If you’ve experienced chronic stress, trauma, or felt like traditional therapy hasn't truly met your needs, you're not alone. It makes sense if you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Many of the people I work with have spent years masking from feeling misunderstood and unseen. Over time, this takes a toll, leading to exhaustion, chronic nervous system dysregulation, and difficulty feeling at ease in your own skin. You want relief - not just to cope, but true transformation towards a sense of safety, connection and resilience.
I help people work through life's challenges using a neuroscience-informed, attachment based and somatic experiencing approach. I understand that healing isn’t just about changing thoughts—it’s about creating a felt sense of safety in your body and gently working with deep rooted patterns in the brain and nervous system.
Healing happens in connection. I know how hard it can be to reach out for support, especially if past experiences have left you feeling unseen or misunderstood. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, validated, and heard. If you're ready to take the next step, I’m here to support you in your journey towards reclaiming inner peace and real healing.
