About

You want to feel whole, grounded, and emotionally free—to move beyond survival into a life with more presence, meaning, and authentic connection. Something in you knows your current ways of coping are no longer enough, and you’re ready to heal at the root. My work as a therapist emphasizes the root, targeting what is not ordinarily obvious in our understanding of how we experience life and behave. This means we move slowly and intentionally, spending meaningful time understanding your history—and how the patterns, adaptations, and stories you’ve carried have shaped your life and your current reason for counseling. I believe true healing requires the willingness to feel what has been unfelt and to stay present with the emotional truth held in the body. My extensive history in somatic work as a licensed massage therapist and yoga teacher informs my orientation to the emotional process stored in the body, enabling a holistic approach to understanding your whole story.
