Somatic therapy supports healing by including the body—not just the mind. I integrate gentle, nervous system–informed care to help you notice patterns of stress, settle overwhelm, and build a greater sense of safety from the inside out. My background as a Psychiatric-Mental Health RN deepens my understanding of how trauma can live in both mind and body. We’ll move at a manageable pace, using grounding and body-based tools to support reconnection, agency, and steadier emotional regulation.

My approach is eclectic because people are complex—and therapy should be flexible enough to fit you. Each client’s needs, history, and goals are unique, so I intentionally draw from multiple evidence-based approaches to create individualized care. With over a decade of experience across mental health and healthcare settings, I blend structure with flexibility—offering practical tools while honoring your pace, values, and readiness for change.

My foundation is person-centered, grounded in the belief that healing happens in a space that feels safe, warm, and truly human. I bring steady presence, deep respect, and genuine curiosity to each session. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs—supporting you in reconnecting with your own voice, values, and inner knowing as we move toward growth, clarity, and change. With a whole-person lens informed by counseling and nursing, I honor both emotional and physiological wellbeing

I provide affirming, culturally humble care for LGBTQIA2S+ clients, grounded in deep respect for identity, autonomy, and lived experience. I understand how minority stress, invalidation, and systemic harm can shape mental health and nervous system responses. My goal is to offer a safe, warm space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are—just be met with support, care, and genuine acceptance. Always. You deserve therapy that honors you fully.

I support clients experiencing emotional exhaustion, chronic stress, shutdown, and the feeling of running on empty. Burnout impacts both mind and body, and healing often requires more than “pushing through.” Together we’ll explore what’s unsustainable, strengthen boundaries, rebuild self-compassion, and create realistic shifts that support rest and steadier capacity. I also use nervous system–informed tools to help your body come out of survival mode and feel safe enough to restore. Slowly.

I help clients who feel stuck in worry, panic, overwhelm, or constant “what if” thinking. Together we’ll build practical tools to calm the body, steady the mind, and create more room for clarity and choice. I use a nervous system–informed approach, helping you notice activation, use grounding and breathwork, and build regulation over time. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe and manageable, so progress feels steady—not overwhelming. Anxiety softens when your body feels safer, too.
