“Exploring neurobiology and polyvagal theory excites me—I love seeing how understanding the nervous system sparks healing and growth.”
What I Offer
I provide integrative somatic trauma therapy for individuals seeking a more connected, body-centered approach to healing. This work gently supports your nervous system in processing stress and trauma, helping you move toward greater steadiness, resilience, and a deeper sense of connection with yourself.
Sessions are offered through individual telehealth, allowing you to access care from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Together, we work at a pace that feels safe and supportive, integrating body awareness, nervous system regulation, and compassionate presence.
I believe that access to care matters. To help support accessibility:
I accept both private pay (cash) and insurance
I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for those paying out of pocket
I partner with pro bono agencies to provide services to individuals in need
My intention is to create a space that is not only supportive and attuned, but also accessible—so that more people can receive the care they deserve.

Caregiving can be deeply meaningful- and it can also be physically exhausting, emotionally overwhelming, and isolating. When you’re constantly tending to others’ needs, it’s easy to lose connection with your own body, limits, and sense of self. Integrative Somatic Therapy offers a space to come back to yourself.
This approach blends body-based (somatic) practices with compassionate, trauma-informed therapeutic support. Rather than focusing only on thoughts or behaviors, we gently explore how stress, fatigue, and emotional strain are held in the body. Through guided awareness, nervous system regulation, and mindful movement or breath, you can begin to release accumulated tension and restore a sense of balance.
Caregiver burnout often shows up as chronic exhaustion, irritability, numbness, anxiety, or feeling “on edge” or shut down. In our work together, we honor these responses as intelligent adaptations—not failures. Therapy becomes a place where you don’t have to hold it all together.
Our sessions are tailored to your unique experience and may include:
Body awareness and grounding techniques
Nervous system regulation tools
Gentle movement or breathwork
Emotional processing at a pace that feels safe
Support in rebuilding boundaries and self-trust
This work is not about fixing you—it’s about supporting your capacity to feel, rest, and reconnect while continuing to care in a more sustainable way.
You deserve care, too.

Living with acute or chronic illness or navigating difficult medical experiences can change your relationship with your body in profound ways. You may feel like your body has become unpredictable, unsafe, or no longer your own. Medical trauma can leave lasting imprints—moments where you felt overwhelmed, unheard, or powerless—and those experiences can continue to live on in your nervous system.
Integrative Somatic Therapy offers a gentle, supportive space to begin reconnecting with your body at your own pace.
Together, we slow things down and listen—not just to your thoughts, but to the subtle signals of your body. With care and curiosity, we explore how stress, pain, fear, and resilience are held physically and emotionally. This work doesn’t ask you to push past your limits. Instead, it honors your body’s wisdom and prioritizes safety, choice, and agency in every step.
Sessions may include:
Grounding and nervous system regulation practices
Gentle body awareness (always invitational, never forced)
Support in processing medical or procedural trauma
Tools for navigating flare-ups, uncertainty, and fatigue
Rebuilding trust and communication with your body
Whether you’re living with ongoing symptoms, recovering from medical procedures, or carrying the emotional weight of past healthcare experiences, this work meets you where you are.
There is nothing “wrong” with the ways your body has learned to cope. These responses are adaptations—your system’s way of trying to protect you.
Over time, somatic therapy can help create a sense of steadiness, soften the intensity of stress responses, and open the possibility of feeling more at home in your body again—even alongside illness.
You deserve care that honors your limits, your experience, and your whole self.

Aging brings change—sometimes subtle, sometimes profound. You may be noticing shifts in your body, your energy, your roles, or your sense of identity. For some, this season includes greater ease and reflection; for others, it may come with health concerns, loss, or uncertainty. Wherever you find yourself, your experience deserves care and attention.
Integrative Somatic Therapy offers a supportive space to stay connected to yourself through these transitions.
Together, we gently turn toward the body—not to fix or push it, but to listen. Aging can bring up a wide range of emotions: grief, resilience, frustration, gratitude, fear, even moments of unexpected joy. Through somatic (body-based) practices and compassionate, trauma-informed support, we create room for all of it.
This work meets you exactly where you are, honoring both your strengths and your challenges. Sessions may include:
Grounding and nervous system support to ease stress and overwhelm
Gentle body awareness to stay connected with changing physical sensations
Space to process life transitions, loss, or shifting identity
Practices that support rest, presence, and emotional balance
Reconnecting with a sense of meaning, dignity, and self-trust
If you’re living with health concerns, this work respects your limits and adapts to your needs. If you’re aging with relative ease, it can deepen your sense of connection, embodiment, and presence.
There’s no “right” way to move through this stage of life.
Somatic therapy invites you to move at your own pace—to soften the pressure to have it all figured out, and to build a more compassionate relationship with your body as it changes. It’s a space to be supported, to be heard, and to remain connected to yourself in a way that feels steady and sustainable.
You are still growing, still adapting, still becoming—and you don’t have to do it alone.

As a first responder, you’re trained to move toward what others avoid. You handle high-pressure situations, make quick decisions, and carry responsibility in moments that matter most. Over time, the intensity of this work can take a toll—on your body, your nervous system, and your sense of self.
Even when you’re used to “pushing through,” the impact can show up in quieter ways: difficulty unwinding, feeling constantly on alert, irritability, numbness, disrupted sleep, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others.
Integrative Somatic Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to stay in that mode.
This work focuses on supporting your nervous system—the part of you that has adapted to stay sharp, responsive, and ready. Together, we gently shift out of survival patterns and create room for rest, regulation, and recovery, without losing the strengths that your role requires.
You don’t have to retell everything or put words to experiences before you’re ready. We can work at a pace that feels manageable, using body-based approaches to help process stress and build resilience over time.
Sessions may include:
Nervous system regulation to support decompression and recovery
Body awareness to notice and release accumulated tension
Tools for managing hypervigilance, shutdown, or emotional overload
Support in processing critical incidents or ongoing stress
Rebuilding a sense of balance between work, body, and personal life
This is not about taking away your edge—it’s about giving your system the support it needs so you’re not carrying everything alone, all the time.
Your responses make sense given what you’ve been exposed to. They are adaptations, not weaknesses.
Somatic therapy can help you reconnect with a sense of steadiness, restore access to rest, and support you in staying grounded—both on and off the job.
You spend your life showing up for others. This is a place where you get to be supported, too.

Item dLife doesn’t stand still. Even the changes we choose—new roles, relationships, careers, or phases of life—can bring uncertainty, stress, and a sense of being unmoored. Other transitions, like loss, endings, or unexpected shifts, can feel even more overwhelming.
In times like these, it’s easy to feel disconnected from yourself.
Integrative Somatic Therapy offers a supportive space to slow down and find your footing again.
Rather than trying to think your way through change, we gently include the body in the process. Transitions often live not just in our thoughts, but in our nervous system—in feelings of restlessness, tightness, fatigue, or a sense of being “in between.” Together, we bring awareness to these experiences with curiosity and care.
This work is not about rushing you toward clarity or pushing you to “figure it out.” It’s about creating enough steadiness inside so that your next steps can unfold more naturally.
Sessions may include:
Grounding and nervous system support during times of uncertainty
Gentle body awareness to track what feels settled and what feels unsettled
Space to process change, loss, identity shifts, or new beginnings
Practices that support resilience, flexibility, and emotional balance
Reconnecting with your inner sense of direction and self-trust
Whether you’re navigating a planned transition or something unexpected, this work meets you where you are.
There is no right timeline for change.
Somatic therapy can help you move through transitions with greater presence and compassion—supporting you in staying connected to yourself, even as life shifts around you.
You don’t have to navigate it all on your own.
My Process
Free Consultation
I begin with a 20-minute phone or video consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit.
Or Schedule An Intake
if you prefer, you can sign up directly for an intake session. I partner with you when you’re ready to engage in the work, honoring that “ready” looks different for everyone.
During Your Intake
you’ll share your “why now” — what feels most overwhelming and what brings you here — while we begin building trust and rapport.
Session to Session
Progress is collaborative, as we explore your experiences, practice skills, and apply them outside of sessions. Symptoms may feel “messier” before improving, often signaling growth and healing is taking shape.
