About

I created my counseling practice with Mind–Body Freedom at the forefront. I integrate somatic therapies with traditional talk therapy because, when it comes to trauma, talk therapy alone often isn’t enough. We can’t think our way to feeling safe. Many of us already understand why we feel the way we do — yet still feel stuck. As I often say, “If you could have thought your way out of it, you would have done it by now." ;) Somatics can help with that. I’ve also studied brain rewiring & neuroplasticity for chronic health and limbic system impairment recovery, supporting clients in applying these techniques for their own healing. Trauma, chronic stress, and anxiety are stored not just in our thoughts, but in the body and nervous system. That fight, flight, or freeze survival energy can linger long after the danger has passed. True healing happens when we gently release that stored survival energy, allowing the mind and body to realign in a felt sense of safety, calm, and connection.
