Somatic & Trauma-Informed Therapy for Emotional Regulation and Healing

Therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or rushed.

My approach is grounded, relational, and nervous-system-informed, supporting you to move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, self-awareness, and meaningful change — not by forcing insight, but by listening to what your body and inner experience are communicating.

This work is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your unique history and goals.

I support adults in reconnecting with their nervous system, emotions, and sense of self at a pace that feels safe.
