I became a somatic therapist after working at a rape crisis center, where I realized that regular talk therapy wasn’t enough to help people truly heal. I saw clients doing all the “right” things and still feeling stuck and I recognized parts of myself in that too. That’s what led me to somatic work: learning how the body holds the stories that words can’t always reach. My approach is gentle, body-based, and rooted in curiosity. I care deeply about creating a space where you don’t have to perform healing, you just get to be human.

I combine Somatic Experiencing (SE) with trauma-informed and (sometimes) psychodynamic approaches to help you reconnect with your body’s natural capacity to regulate and feel safe. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about understanding your patterns and learning to move through life with more ease and self-trust.

Starting January 2026, I’ll also be integrating somatic touch, a gentle, consent-based method designed to support healing from developmental and early attachment trauma. When experiences of safety, attunement, or nurturing were interrupted early in life, the body can stay in a state of subtle, chronic activation. Somatic touch helps regulate the autonomic nervous system by offering safe, co-regulated contact that allows the body to experience safety in connection, something that can’t always be reached through talk alone.

Our first session is about slowing down and getting to know you - what’s been happening, what you’ve tried, and what you’re hoping for. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe and grounded, paying attention to what your body is communicating, even in small or quiet ways. My goal is for you to leave that first session feeling a bit more at ease, and with a sense that you don’t have to carry it all alone.
