About Me

I help people who are running on empty. The ones who push through, manage everything, hold it together — until they cannot. Chronic stress, burnout, and the tension patterns that come with years of overriding what your body is telling you are what I work with most.

Sessions with me are not about lying on a couch and analysing your childhood. We work with what is happening in your body right now. I will help you notice where you brace, where you disconnect, and what your nervous system needs to settle. It is practical, grounded work — and most people feel a shift within the first few sessions.

I also work with people who have experienced trauma but may not identify with the word. If something happened that your body has not moved past, we can work with that.

Why I Do This Work

I burned out in my corporate career at 32. Somatic therapy was the thing that finally helped me understand what my body had been trying to tell me for years. Now I help others find that same relief.
