About My Clients
I work with women who feel like strangers in their own bodies after medical experiences that changed everything. Whether living with chronic illness (cancer, POTS, long COVID, fibromyalgia), recovering from medical trauma (surgical complications, misdiagnosis, gaslighting), or healing from injury, my clients share a common struggle: feeling dismissed by others while grieving who they used to be. They're exhausted from pretending they're "fine" and need someone who truly sees their reality.
My Background and Approach
As a therapist of 25+ years, I have helped thousands of women feel safe, supported, and whole. My approach integrates somatic therapy and Jungian psychology with evidence-based techniques including EMDR, Havening Techniques, polyvagal-informed therapy, and expressive therapies. When medical experiences leave you disconnected from yourself, your body holds the roadmap back home. Through somatic awareness, dream work, and depth psychology, we'll help you process what's stored in your nervous system and reconnect with your inner wisdom. My work creates space for your whole experience—the grief of who you used to be, the fear of what's happening now, and ultimately, your capacity to feel like yourself again.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing happens in relationship—with ourselves, others, and our bodies. Every person deserves compassionate, affirming care regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, relationship structure, race, size, or ability. As an LGBTQ+ and polyamory ally, I create inclusive space for all authentic expressions of self and love. I approach therapy through a social justice lens, recognizing how oppression and systemic inequities impact health and healing. Medical trauma often intersects with marginalization, and I'm committed to understanding these complexities without judgment. Illness can shatter one's relationship with meaning, purpose, and faith—or deepen it in unexpected ways. I honor whatever spiritual beliefs you hold (or don't hold) and understand that medical experiences often bring existential questions. My work welcomes these deeper explorations while remaining completely client-directed and non-dogmatic.
