About
Specializing in anxiety, sexuality, and body image, I guide individuals and couples to explore the deeper, often somatic roots of their struggles, frequently tied to profound loneliness and unmet emotional needs. With advanced training in somatic therapy and complex trauma, my approach centers on building trust and fostering genuine connection, helping you navigate the complexities of identity and intimacy. In our work together, we develop an emotional vocabulary, integrate nervous system regulation, and address vulnerability and shame, reclaiming your sense of self and reigniting your vitality for more nourishing, fulfilling life. I help those caught in cycles of love "addiction" or fear of intimacy break free from patterns that no longer serve them. We’ll explore the internal conflicts and contradictions driving these struggles, addressing the underlying shame. Our work will focus on healing past wounds, fostering resilience, and guiding you toward deeper connection and fulfillment.
