About

I work with clients whose nervous systems have learned to stay on high alert. You may be highly self-aware, insightful, and capable, yet still experience anxiety, shutdown, fear, or physical symptoms that don’t shift through understanding alone. These responses are not a failure—they are adaptive patterns your body developed to protect you. My work focuses on helping the nervous system feel safer and more regulated. I use somatic-focused EMDR, parts work, and clinical hypnosis to gently address the subconscious and body-based patterns that contribute to ongoing distress. View 4 Photos I often support individuals experiencing chronic anxiety, hypervigilance, phobias, freeze responses, or chronic illness or pain. As these patterns begin to shift, clients commonly notice greater ease, relief, and a deeper sense of connection to themselves and others.
