About Us

Helping People Reach Their True Potential

As a trauma-informed somatic therapist, I provide individual and relationship psychotherapy using methods that support a body-mind approach like Somatic Experiencing and NeuroAffective Touch. My goal is to help people who feel burnt out and disconnected from themselves learn to listen to their bodies and develop an internal compass they can trust.

Who We Are

Support People Who Feel Lost

My goal is to help people who feel burnt out and disconnected from themselves learn to listen to their bodies and develop an internal compass they can trust.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel scary and hard. It can feel like a relief, like finally coming home after being on a long journey. 

Our Values

I teach people how to release the traumatic energy the body has been storing. However, healing trauma isn’t just about processing pain but also about discovering what makes you laugh and finding things that spark your joy.

Our Mission

My approach helps people discover their authentic selves, find meaning in life, and be more assertive in their relationships and careers while also emphasizing the importance of laughter and self-compassion.
