Trauma is not only something that happened in the past — it’s how your nervous system learned to adapt in order to survive. When stress, loss, or overwhelm exceeds your system’s capacity, those adaptations can linger, shaping how you think, relate, rest, and respond under pressure.

My work focuses on helping your nervous system re-regulate and integrate what it has been holding. Together, we gently process unresolved experiences, reduce emotional reactivity, and restore a sense of internal safety and agency. This allows you to remain present, grounded, and responsive — rather than stuck in survival patterns — as you move forward in your life.

This work is subtle, contained, and deeply effective for people who function at a high level but feel the cost internally.

Not all trauma comes from a single event. Developmental and relational trauma often forms over time — through early attachment experiences, chronic stress, emotional neglect, or environments that required you to grow up too fast or stay hyper-aware.

These experiences can shape how you relate to yourself and others, often showing up as perfectionism, hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, difficulty trusting, or a sense that rest never feels fully safe.

Our work together focuses on understanding these patterns without judgment, helping your nervous system update what no longer serves you, and creating new internal experiences of stability, choice, and self-trust.

For many high-capacity individuals, anxiety doesn’t look like panic — it looks like constant thinking, difficulty slowing down, restlessness, over-responsibility, and feeling “on” all the time.

Chronic stress and burnout are often signs of a nervous system that has been running in overdrive for too long. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety entirely, we work to regulate the underlying nervous system patterns that keep you stuck in urgency and exhaustion.

This work helps you develop sustainable ways to operate under pressure, recover more fully, and experience calm without losing your edge.

Early relational experiences shape how we connect, protect ourselves, and navigate intimacy. Over time, these attachment patterns can show up as fear of abandonment, difficulty receiving support, emotional distancing, or losing yourself in relationships.

In therapy, we explore how these patterns formed, how they’re showing up now, and how to create relationships that feel secure without compromising your autonomy or strength.

This work supports deeper emotional connection — both with others and with yourself — while honoring your need for independence, agency, and self-leadership.

Trauma and stress are not held only in the mind — they live in the body, breath, posture, and nervous system responses. Somatic work helps you tune into these physical experiences and gently release what has been stored there.

Through embodied practices, we work to restore regulation, increase body awareness, and help your system complete responses that were once interrupted. This allows for healing that feels grounded, integrated, and sustainable — not overwhelming or re-traumatizing.

Somatic work is especially effective for clients who have done a lot of insight-based therapy and are ready for deeper integration.

Loss, transition, and growth often reshape us in ways that aren’t immediately visible. Divorce, career shifts, identity changes, and grief can leave you feeling disoriented — not broken, but different.

This work honors what has been lost while supporting you in integrating who you are becoming. Rather than rushing healing or trying to “move on,” we focus on meaning-making, nervous system support, and helping you orient toward what’s next with clarity and self-trust.

Grief is not something to erase — it’s something to carry with integrity as you continue to live fully.

Highly attuned and neurodivergent nervous systems often experience the world more intensely — emotionally, cognitively, and sensory-wise. Many people have spent years masking, pushing, or forcing themselves to fit into systems that weren’t designed for them.

Our work focuses on understanding how your nervous system functions, untangling shame and misattunement, and building ways of living that honor your natural rhythms, strengths, and needs.

This is not about fixing or conforming — it’s about regulation, self-acceptance, and learning how to operate sustainably in a world that often demands otherwise.
