Finding Healing Through the Mind-Body Connection
It's Great to Meet You!
I discovered somatic therapy the same way many of my clients do - through my own frustration with traditional talk therapy. Despite years of intellectual understanding about my C-PTSD, I still felt disconnected from my body and trapped in chronic nervous system dysregulation.
Everything changed when I learned that healing isn't just about understanding trauma - it's about feeling safe in your body again.
My journey from exercise science to social work to specialized somatic and trauma training wasn't accidental. Each step taught me that lasting change happens when we bridge the gap between mind and body, between knowing and feeling.

As both a CA-LCSW and certified personal trainer, I offer something unique in the therapy world: sessions that focus on movement and somatic experiencing rather than traditional talk therapy.
My interdisciplinary background allows me to help you:
-Develop nervous system regulation skills
-Process trauma through the body, not just the mind
-Build tolerance for feeling sensations without fear
-Move from chronic dysregulation to embodied presence
Through our work together, you'll learn that the body holds insights our thinking mind can't access. Somatic awareness opens pathways to process difficult emotions, while trauma-informed movement can release what's stored in your body.

You're here because you're tired of being stuck in your head while your body stays hijacked by anxiety. You can analyze your triggers, explain your trauma responses, and understand your patterns perfectly - but that understanding hasn't set you free.
You're not broken. You just need embodied tools, not more insights.

My clients move from:
Intellectually knowing → Somatically experiencing

Fear of feeling → Trust in their body's wisdom
