I am a trauma-informed therapist with specialized training in helping people gently process and release the impact of both “big-T” traumas (assault, accidents, abuse, loss) and the quieter, cumulative wounds that shape how we feel about ourselves and the world. Traumatic experiences don’t just live in our thoughts—they become stored in the body and imprinted on the nervous system, which is why talk therapy alone often isn’t enough. Deep and lasting healing comes from working with the body, not just the mind—gently helping your nervous system unwind old survival patterns so you can feel calm and at home in yourself again.

Using a combination of somatic techniques and modalities like Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), we work at your pace to calm the nervous system, regulate the body’s physiology, reduce or even completely neutralize the emotional charge of difficult memories, triggers, or insecurities, and help you reclaim a sense of safety and control in your body and life. Clients experience relief from flashbacks, hypervigilance, anxiety/panic, sleep disturbances, or long-held shame—often feeling lighter and more present after just a few sessions.
