About Me

holistic, transformational, and soulful support for somatic trauma healing

If you're healing from a life spent fawning, people-pleasing, and playing small - if you know exactly what you want but keep hitting a wall between knowing and doing - this work is for you.

I work with people who are:

  • Recovering perfectionists who struggle to rest or just be

  • Healing chronic patterns like suppressed anger, grief, or fear

  • Noticing freeze or dissociation as they move through daily life

  • Carrying decades of shame and low self-worth

  • Seeking their authentic "no" and a fuller, more creative expression of who they are

Sessions blend talk with somatic practices - body awareness, breathwork, parts work, mindfulness, movement - following whatever you bring into the room that day. This isn't a fixed protocol; it's a client-led partnership that meets you where you actually are.

I work under the ongoing supervision of Ken Goldberg, MD, 30-year Core Energetics teaching faculty, and I'm trained in the Core Energetics lineage alongside depth psychology and nervous system-focused somatic work.

Sessions are 60 minutes, 1:1, over Zoom.

I work with people for both long term and short term focused work.

Sessions can be weekly, biweekly, monthly, or even as you need them.

A free 15–20 minute discovery call comes first — reach out to say hello, I'd love to hear from you.
