I'm glad you're here! I emphasize the power of genuine human connection. We'll create a deeply relational space where you are the expert in your life. Our nervous systems are innately relational, and are constantly seeking safety and connection with others. I know how important it is to prioritize the relationship that we have with one another, so that your body starts to feel safe enough to do deeper work.

If you've done the therapy and continue to feel stuck in old patterns, somatic therapy can be the missing piece. I work exclusively with women & young adults navigating anxiety, intellectualizing, rumination, disconnection from self, trauma, PTSD, college challenges, medical trauma, women's health (endometriosis, PMDD, pregnancy, postpartum), and the complexities of chronic health conditions.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a 500+ hour yoga teacher, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner (Intermediate training year). I am credentialing with PSI for perinatal mental health certification. I host two free, virtual endometriosis/adenomyosis support groups each month- reach out with questions.

I focus deeply on supporting women because so often, we are conditioned to carry the weight of everyone else's needs before our own, causing us to disconnect from our own truth and well-being. To navigate societal pressures, life transitions, and systemic stressors, I offer a holistic, mind-body approach to healing. By blending talk therapy with the gentle principles of yoga, mindfulness, meditation, & Somatic Experiencing, we work with your body's natural rhythms to help you process and understand your emotions and patterns, and build capacity to be present in your life.

My passion for this work comes from a deeply personal place. Through navigating my own trauma healing and endometriosis health journey over the last 15 years, I found yoga and somatic experiencing. These practices have transformed my relationship with myself, helping me understand my body, unlearn old survival patterns, and relearn how to honor my body's cycles. I am here to help you gain tangible, collaborative skills to deepen your relationship with yourself and with others. The relationship we have with ourselves sets the standard for everything else.

Perhaps you logically know 'everything is fine' while your body reacts as if the stressful experience is still happening. This work is an invitation, honoring choice and autonomy, creating the conditions for your own natural unfolding and self- connection. Even in the most painful spaces, recovery is possible when we shift from thinking our way through life to truly inhabiting our bodies.

Please note: While I am credentialed with select insurance plans, I reserve a limited number of dedicated in-network spots in my practice. Availability for in-network care is reviewed on a case-by-case basis during our initial consultation call.
