“The body has been designed to renew itself through continuous self-correction. These same principles also apply to the healing of the psyche, spirit, and soul.”
― Peter A. Levine, Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma
Your story matters here — and so do you.
My intention is to meet you in the tender, tangled parts of your mind, guide you back toward your deeper self, and help you nurture the relationships that hold your life together — starting with the one you hold within. We will work side by side to build grounding practices that support the way you want to live, relate, and evolve. I will offer guidance and resources to help you navigate stress with more ease and strengthen presence, grounding, and authentic connection.

“We can never forget our traumatic memories … it’s less about getting rid of them, and more about learning how to be with them.”
The path that led you here
Therapy gives a space to slow down and care for yourself — it’s not about fixing who you are. It's about creating space to heal, grow, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been waiting for care.
​
You might be here if you’re feeling:
​
-
Exhausted or stretched too thin
-
Overwhelmed by stress or anxiety
-
Stuck in old patterns or coping habits
-
Disconnected from your body or emotions
-
Carrying past pain that still shapes your life
-
Caught in cycles of shame
