About
You’ve accomplished a lot and to everyone else, life looks “good.” But inside, there’s a quieter truth: relationships feel harder than they should. Boundaries blur. Exhaustion is chronic. You may find yourself triggered by seemingly small things or doubting whether your needs are “too much.” Maybe you survived trauma, early trauma, or repeated trauma, and you’ve learned to excel, to care for others, to keep going. But healing asks for more than grit. It asks for safety, connection, and space to unravel what’s been tightly held for too long. I work with resourceful adults who are ready to do the deeper work of untangling complex trauma. Together, we explore the impact of your past without pathologizing your strengths. I integrate bottom-up trauma strategies, inner child work, and somatic strategies to help you reclaim your voice, restore nervous system balance, and at home in your life.
