About
You're checking all the boxes: relationships, responsibilities, obligations, and career and you are great at doing what needs to be done. But inside, you are constantly in survival mode, nervous system dysregulated, anxious, and disconnected. You’ve been performing, perfecting, and doing for so long and you need to find your joy, your ease, your clarity, yourself. Or maybe it is your relationship that is stuck on autopilot. You two are getting through the days, managing tasks, and avoiding blow-ups. But the spark, intimacy, and real connection you once had feel far away. You want to re-connect and build intimacy. I use therapy intensives to help you uncover the roots of your patterns, heal trauma, and create intentional ways of living centered on joy, connection, and your deepest values. My approach is holistic and compassion-driven, blending somatic (mind-body) practices, EMDR, PACT, and parts work to help individuals and couples heal and reconnect. I don't just nod along while you vent. We compassionately explore your patterns, try new practices, work through core conflicts, make space for all parts of you, and give you tools you can use now all while finding the lasting healing and transformation that you need. I provide intensives but other therapists in my practice do weekly/ bi-weekly sessions! Specialties: I work with clients who've found ways to function with overwhelm, anxiety, and trauma but want to live more engaged and aligned lives. During assessment we clarify changes you want to see in your life, then we focus on helping you to understand and retrain your nervous system, discover your values, and we work to reprocess trauma so you can show up differently in you work, life, and relationships. Credentials & Experience: I am a holistic, somatic therapists who integrate, mindfulness, mind-body practices, EMDR and attachment based therapy into my practice. I am EMDR certified and PACT Level 1 Trained. I have been licensed for 6 years and helping individuals and couples to heal for a decade.
"I often start intensives with somatic therapy to support clients in building a based of resourcing and grounding so that we can approach challenges with more clarity and a deeper sense of emotional safety. I use ACT and attachment based interventions to help individuals and couples find determine growth they want to see then we use EMDR, PACT, etc. to facilitate that healing and transformation."
