My Philosophy

I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and I work with you to access your inner strength and wisdom, so you can feel empowered to create the life you want.

Nervous system regulation isn’t about being calm all the time. It’s about having the capacity to move through the full range of emotions. Healing comes from growing your ability to experience pain and discomfort without getting stuck, and to respond to life with greater resilience.

Who I work with

My clients are people who:

• Feel stuck in anxiety, tension, or overwhelm despite trying therapy
• Carry unresolved trauma or past experiences that impact daily life
• Want to feel more grounded, connected, and able to cope with stress

If this feels familiar, we can explore how somatic therapy can help you feel safer, calmer, and more in control. You can start with a free 15-minute consultation to see if this approach is the right fit for you.

About me:

I grew up on the beautiful west coast and love being out in nature. I can be found surfing, hiking, paddle-boarding, photographing wildlife (especially orcas) and out for walks with my dog.

Therapeutic approaches:

Using Somatic Experiencing therapy, I help clients become more aware of body sensations and how they relate to emotions and thoughts. This can release stored tension and trauma, supporting deeper, lasting healing from anxiety.

I am also trained in Response-Based Practice, which focuses on people’s inherent abilities and strengths in responding to adversity and trauma. This approach highlights the ways you have resisted harm, emphasizing your dignity, agency, and capacity for choice.
