Introduction

Life isn’t always easy. Even when we do our best to cope, sometimes it can feel like too much to handle alone. Trauma can affect every part of our lives—from disturbing our sleep, to making us avoid people or places, to straining our relationships with those we care about most. You might find yourself dealing with distressing flashbacks, angry outbursts, or persistent negative thoughts about yourself or the world. Or perhaps you’re struggling to let go of guilt or blame, unable to find joy in the things that once made you happy. If you’re seeking to rediscover hope and enjoyment in life, you’ve taken a meaningful first step. I specialize in trauma and resilience, with a deep curiosity for how our past can influence our present. My work integrates somatic (body-focused) approaches that help us tune into supportive people, places, and practices, building a foundation for growth, groundedness, and creativity. Together, we’ll identify your strengths and collaborate on your goals. I recognize your life is unique and complex, and I’m committed to helping you develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself. Life is too short to be held back by regret, unexamined pain, or set-aside dreams. Reaching out for support takes courage. If you’re ready to explore how we might work together, I warmly invite you to get in touch.
