About

Stress, trauma, or burnout—sometimes it all collides at once. I’ve been there, and I’ve built my career helping others come out on the other side. As a Stress and Trauma Specialist and founder of Journey Forward - Somatic Therapy, I lead a team of exceptional therapists who share one mission: helping people feel safe, calm, and whole again. In my work, I blend somatic and cognitive approaches to help you move beyond survival mode. Together, we’ll build a personalized toolkit of body-based skills to regulate your nervous system, reduce reactivity, and increase capacity for real-life stress. But we don’t stop there—our work goes deep View 5 Photos Our approach integrates Somatic CBT, EMDR, breath-work, progressive relaxation, and mindfulness to help you reprocess trauma and restore safety—often in 6–12 sessions or less. Each session is designed to help you reconnect with calm, clarity, and self-control, so you can face life’s stressors without losing yourself. My team brings this same energy!
