About Me
Someone to walk with you
Life can be overwhelming. Maybe it feels like wading through quicksand or navigating through dense fog. It's easy to feel stuck on a treadmill of emotional ups and downs, where so much of our attention goes to just surviving. In a world where we can feel lost and alone, a companion can make all the difference.
Those who have walked with me have shown me that together, we can find a way to thrive.
My Approach
Growth, resilience, and transformation become possible through the power of relationship - where we learn to receive what may not have been available to us growing up. I've experienced firsthand how we shift when someone truly sees us, celebrates us, and walks alongside us without agenda.
I practice Relational Somatic Healing, working with people who are ready to untangle old knots - the worn patterns, beliefs, and stuck energy that have kept their authentic expression hidden. I welcome those healing from trauma and learning to feel safe in relationship again.
My work is to nurture the innate wisdom and wholeness that lives within each of us. Together, we create space for your body's wisdom to emerge. Like a young tree that bends toward light or finds a way to root in rocky soil, your survival strategies are something to celebrate. They brought you here and are testaments to your strength. When you're ready, we can explore what might want to shift, soften, or be released.
Why I Do This Work
I know hardship, and what it's like to feel misunderstood. I've been fortunate to encounter teachers who showed me the gifts hidden in difficult experiences. Working with and through the body opens a portal to what needs healing.
The truth is, healing doesn't have to be hard work. It unfolds naturally when we create the right conditions - when we move at the pace of the body and when we're truly seen.

A Path to Resilience
Why Somatic Therapy?
Trauma Recovery
When something overwhelming happens, the body holds what the mind can't process. Trauma lives in our nervous system long after the event has passed—shaping how we respond to stress, connection, and even rest. In our work together, we approach trauma gently, at the pace your body can integrate, helping you find safety again from the inside out.
Emotional Regulation
Emotions aren't problems to solve—they're information. But when feelings arrive too fast, too big, or seemingly out of nowhere, it can be hard to trust them. Somatic therapy helps you build capacity to be with your emotions without being overwhelmed by them, developing a steadier ground to stand on.
Mind-Body Connection
We often live from the neck up, disconnected from the signals our body is sending. Somatic work invites you back into relationship with your whole self—learning to read the language of sensation, tension, and impulse. This isn't about thinking differently; it's about feeling your way toward what's true.
Self-Exploration
Beneath the roles we play and the patterns we've learned, there's someone waiting to be met. Somatic therapy creates space to explore who you are when you're not bracing, performing, or protecting. What wants to emerge when you finally have room to breathe?
Relational Healing
Our earliest wounds happen in relationship, in the space between child and caregiver. They shape how we connect for years afterward. Relational Somatic Healing goes to the source: the body, the nervous system, the lived experience of connection. We create a new, lived experience of secure connection that can transform how you relate to yourself, others, and the world. Healing happens beyond words, through the felt sense of being truly met.
Stress Relief
Stress settles into the body over time. It lives in the jaw, the shoulders, the breath. Somatic therapy goes to the source, working with your nervous system to help it settle, release, and restore. We're building resilience, a body that knows how to find its way back to calm.
