About

Are you surviving instead of thriving? Do you feel overwhelmed or anxious? Do you struggle with meaningful connection to yourself or within your relationships? I’m here to help you break free from the patterns that are holding you back & feel empowered to live your best life. I work with adults needing to heal from shock trauma, childhood/attachment wounds, or physical/sexual/emotional abuse. I help to deepen their healing, improve their connection to themselves, expand their capacity & strengthen their relationships through integrating a connection between the mind, the body & building awareness of unhelpful patterns. I offer compassion, energy, non-judgement & humor to my client relationships. I support clients of all gender identities, sexual orientation, cultural & ethnic diversity. I’m a mother passionate about midwifery with 20 years experience working with children. I provide parent/family coaching & support for expecting or adjusting mothers & treat birth trauma. My approach moves you from your head to your body where the true wisdom lies through using Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic/development theory. Today, let your dreams be bigger than your fears. Be brave, bold & be ready to work. I am here to meet you exactly where you are & hold space for your healing. Specialties: Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing and Attachment work is my area of specialty for folks struggling with symptoms of trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, Neurodivergence, violent and abusive relationships, Pre/Post Natal support, parenting and relationships coaching, autoimmunity and chronic illness, and Pre/Post Menopausal support, Religious/Racial/Cultural oppression and abuse. Credentials & Experience: I have completed Intermediate Somatic Experiencing Training, Level 1 IFS training, & I am certified as a Complex PTSD specialist & ADHD specialist. Additionally I've worked as a Doula & Behavioral Specialist for children for 15 years so I do parent/family coaching & transition to motherhood.

"My approach is relational & attachment focused to cultivate a safe & nurturing relationship together. I utilize a psychodynamic, cognitive & coaching approach to understand the history of your patterns, beliefs & cognitive processes. I then weave in somatic work & IFS to help you connect to your emotional self, your body's messages & teach you to regulate & heal your nervous system from trauma."
