" One knows what one has lost but not what one will find."
With 18 years of study in Physiology, Neuroscience, and body-focused modalities, I specialize in trauma recovery and early developmental attachment issues. My work addresses a broad range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including complex trauma, attachment disruptions, debilitating anxiety, and somatic symptoms.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which primarily engages the thinking brain (the cortex), the specialized tools I use work directly with the body and nervous system—helping to rewire the brain and support deep, lasting healing.
Healing from trauma, neglect, or early abuse requires more than just words. It requires targeted, embodied approaches. I am here to guide you through that healing process—one I’ve personally experienced and deeply believe in. I’ve walked this path myself, and I know the profound transformation that’s possible.
I look forward to connecting with you.
