"The soul always knows how to heal itself. 

The challenge is to silence the mind." 

-Caroline Myss

Healing is a Journey, and Your Body Knows the Way

Beginning therapy can feel like stepping into the unknown. You're here, ready and courageous, hoping to find clarity and healing—and I'm here to guide you.

What is Somatic Experiencing®

Imagine your nervous system as a river that's been blocked by challenging experiences.  Somatic Experiencing® helps you gradually clear those blockages, allowing your natural flow of rhythm to return. Together, we'll sit, and I'll listen—deeply and without judgment. 

Healing isn’t just about reliving painful memories; it’s about supporting your body’s incredible ability to process and release stored stress. Through a blend of talk therapy and Somatic Experiencing, we’ll work together to unlock your natural capacity for healing.

Your Stories Matter

Your stories--both the moments that have kept you going and the experiences that have nearly broke you--matter. Together, we make sense of your thoughts and feelings in the context of your life. With Somatic Experiencing, we’ll uncover how embracing heartbreak can lead to profound healing and transformation.

How I Personalize Your Care

I offer a personalized blend of traditional counseling and somatic psychotherapy. Some clients begin with talk therapy and gradually become curious about including the body. Others feel drawn to somatic work from the start. Your readiness, your story, and your pace will always guide our work.

Individual Counseling 

Support through conversation, reflection, and insight.

Some healing happens through words—naming what’s been hard, unraveling patterns, or making sense of what’s unfolding in your life. In our work together, talk therapy creates a steady space for you to explore your story with curiosity and compassion.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in a life transition, individual counseling can offer clarity, perspective, and support.

Somatic Psychotherapy 

Support that includes the wisdom of your body.

Sometimes, talking only gets us so far. Somatic psychotherapy invites the body into the conversation. This approach gently helps you notice and work with the sensations, survival responses, and held tension that words may not fully reach.

Grounded in Somatic Experiencing®, our work might include slowing down, tracking nervous system patterns, or exploring what safety, connection, or boundary-setting feel like in your body. It's not about doing it "right"—it's about building a new relationship with yourself, from the inside out.

What This Work Can Offer 

Unlike traditional talk therapies, this approach honors the profound connection between your mind, body, and emotional well-being. Together, we’ll explore the most supportive path for you—whether that’s rooted in conversation, body awareness, or a gentle blend of both.

Together, we'll:

  • Release the emotional weight you've been carrying 
  • Develop curiosity about what your body is telling you
  • Rediscover a sense of calm and safety in your body
  • Remember how to roll with life's punches and feel genuinely connected

Somatic Experiencing isn't about fixing something broken. It's about recognizing that your body already knows how to heal. Sometimes, we just need a little help remembering how.

Somatic Work Supports You in Three Essential Ways

Regulate

Support your nervous system.

Reconnect

Return to yourself. 

Reclaim

Move forward with clarity and steadiness.

What Can Somatic Experiencing® Help

Our nervous systems are shaped by the lives we've lived. Over time, stress and overwhelm can settle in the body in ways that leave us feeling anxious, flat, or disconnected. Somatic Experiencing® offers a way to gently unwind these patterns. Clients often seek support with:

  • Ongoing anxiety or panic
  • Depression or emotional numbness
  • Accumulated stress and burnout
  • Trauma from childhood or adult experiences
  • Recovery after medical procedures or surgeries
  • Motor vehicle accidents or physical injuries
  • Falls, concussions, or other sudden events
  • Perinatal or postpartum trauma
  • Unhealthy relationship dynamics
  • Times you felt taken advantage of or unseen


You don’t have to have the “right” words or even a clear story. If something feels off, stuck, or too much—this work can help you find steadiness from the inside out.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals navigating:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Chronic stress
  • Trauma
  • Addiction recovery
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Life transitions
  • Grief and loss
  • Parenting challenges
  • Identity formation

The Healing Journey

Healing is both raw and tender, complex and profound. Through this process, you'll begin to embrace your humanity -- accepting what is possible and what is not. Your criticism evolves into curiosity, and you'll learn to welcome both sorrow and joy. In time, finding a sense of wholeness that feels both fragile and invigorating.

Ready to explore your healing journey?

Let’s move beyond surviving and discover what it means to truly feel alive—whether through talk therapy, body-based practices, or a blend that feels just right for you. Your healing begins here.
