About Me

Somatic psychotherapy, influenced by the Hakomi method, offers a gentle and experiential way to understand the deeper patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others. Instead of focusing only on thoughts or stories, we listen to the intelligence of your body — the subtle sensations, tensions, and impulses that reveal how past experiences and unprocessed trauma live in your nervous system. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, parts work (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, inner-child work and attachment theory, we explore how your system learned to protect you and how those protective strategies may now show up in relationships as shutting down, over-functioning, people-pleasing, conflict cycles, or feeling “too much” or “not enough.”


Working together, I will support you in navigating relationship challenges, addiction, codependency, abuse recovery, anxiety, and the long-term impact of emotional neglect. Through mindful awareness, compassionate presence, and nervous-system-based tools, we gently uncover the roots of these patterns so you can soften old survival responses, reconnect with your authentic self, and move toward relationships that feel safe, balanced, and truly nourishing.


If this speaks to you, I invite you to book a free discovery call and begin your journey toward healing, clarity, and deeper connection.
