Great to meet you!

Ready to move past tension and rediscover connection? I help couples navigate life’s weight by bridging the gap between your shared story and somatic experience to create lasting harmony.

Welcome to Balance & Bliss Therapy. With 18 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families heal by bridging the gap between the mind and the body. I believe true transformation happens when we listen to both your story and your somatic experience, weaving body-centered techniques into every session.

My practice focuses on three key areas:

Relational Healing: Using EFT and the Gottman Method to untangle relationship knots while tracking how your nervous system responds to stress.

Emotional Regulation: Connecting your thoughts to physical responses through practical CBT and DBT tools to help you navigate daily life with more ease.

Trauma Resolution: Combining these approaches with EMDR to gently identify and release where your body may be holding onto past trauma.

Outside the office, I practice the balance I teach. You’ll often find me training my therapy dog, hitting the road in my camping trailer, getting lost in a good book, catching a live concert, or enjoying quality, joyful time with my family. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing.

My approach to therapy

Life can get heavy, but you don’t have to carry it alone. I offer a warm, collaborative space where individuals, couples, and families can find true balance.

I believe you can thrive even in challenging seasons. My approach blends evidence-based methods with somatic techniques, helping you connect mind and body to release stress and build practical tools for life’s toughest moments. Whether we are working through relational patterns or personal hurdles, I’m here to meet you exactly where you are and support you on your journey toward a brighter, more peaceful tomorrow.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is entirely about building safety, comfort, and connection. Together, we’ll create a collaborative, confidential space where you can share your story without any judgment.

We will gently pinpoint the unique challenges you or your relationships are facing, and start shaping a practical roadmap for your healing.

Whether that means:

  • Learning immediate day-to-day coping strategies
  • Breaking painful communication cycles
  • Safely rebuilding broken trust

Everything we do is tailored entirely to your collective growth. We will always move at a pace that feels secure and supportive for you. I look forward to hearing from you—please reach out and start your journey today.
