Therapy for Women, Grounded in the Body’s Wisdom

Real change begins with nervous system safety - the capacity to feel grounded enough to face what hurts and to trust your body again. In therapy, this means slowing down, tracking sensations, and learning to stay present with what once felt unbearable. The process isn’t about pushing through; it’s about developing a felt sense of stability so that healing can unfold naturally.

Therapy provides a space for storytelling, reflection, and co-regulation — three essential ingredients for repair. When our experiences are met with attunement rather than judgment, the nervous system begins to reorganize. Over time, what once triggered shutdown or overwhelm becomes something you can stay with, understand, and eventually integrate.

The body and mind are inseparable. The nervous system influences how we perceive safety, connection, and overall well-being. When we learn its language - through awareness, breath, movement, and pacing- we create the conditions for balance and resilience. Regulation isn’t the absence of stress; it’s the ability to return to center when life inevitably disrupts it.

My work blends contemporary psychology with evidence-based somatic practices. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment theory, and trauma-informed mind-body approaches to support regulation, clarity, and self-trust.

Areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, chronic and complex illness (including long-COVID, POTS, dysautonomia, autoimmune and hormonal disorders), relationships (including non-monogamy and poly relationships), and identity transitions related to faith, sexuality, work, and family life. This work is guided by curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to social justice and body autonomy.

If you’re unsure what you need but know something has to change - that’s the right place to begin. Ambiguity is welcome here; it’s often the first sign of transformation.
