About Me

For a long time, I knew something in my life wasn’t right. I minimized it, adapted to it, and kept going—until I couldn’t anymore.

Leaving a deeply unhealthy relationship changed everything I thought I understood about healing. I expected relief and clarity. Instead, I experienced anxiety, reactivity, and confusion for the first time in my life. It didn’t make sense—until I began to understand trauma, nervous system responses, and the ways survival can linger long after danger ends.

What I learned was this: my system wasn’t breaking down—it was finally coming out of survival mode.

That realization set me on the path I’m on today.

Through trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based work, I came to understand how early conditioning, attachment patterns, and long-term stress shape the way we feel, relate, and respond. I learned that insight alone isn’t enough—and that healing doesn’t happen through force, pressure, or “fixing.”

It happens through safety.

As I continued my own work, I watched my capacity grow: less reactivity, more trust in myself, and a deeper sense of steadiness—both internally and in my relationships. Shame loosened its grip. Compassion replaced self-criticism. Worthiness became something I could feel, not just understand.

My Work & Philosophy

I don’t believe people are broken. I believe their nervous systems adapted intelligently to survive.

My work is somatic, trauma-informed, and grounded in neuroscience. We focus on nervous system regulation, parts awareness, and building safety in the body—rather than forcing insight, catharsis, or change before you’re ready.

My approach is slow, collaborative, and consent-based. Autonomy, pacing, and choice matter here. This work is not about reliving your story or pushing outcomes—it’s about understanding your internal patterns, gently loosening what no longer serves you, and reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels grounded and real.

My work is informed by both lived experience and ongoing professional training, including study in:

  • Trauma, attachment, abuse, & neglect

  • Nervous system regulation & polyvagal theory

  • Coercive control and relational trauma

  • Parts-based / IFS-informed approaches

  • Hypnosis & Brainspotting

  • Neurodivergence

  • Grief, loss, and ambiguous loss

  • Pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and gestational surrogacy

  • Youth mental health and trauma-informed parenting

If any part of this resonates, you don’t need clarity, confidence, or hope to begin.

Curiosity is enough.
