About

When we work together, I help you slow down enough to notice what needs attention inside—the tight places, the tender places, the parts of you holding onto old stories. Then we offer those places skillful attention, building your capacity to turn toward what's difficult so it can be aerated, metabolized, and finally released.

I work from a trauma-sensitive lens, which means I understand that your nervous system needs to be in charge of the depth and pace of healing. We work with what's arising in the present moment, and you choose how much to share about your history. My role is to be a compassionate and supportive witness—to hold space for whatever you're experiencing, and to help you relate to difficulty or constriction in a way that allows it to shift.

At the end of a session, clients often describe feeling calmer, lighter, more embodied, and more rooted in the present moment. Sessions often bring a sense of relief—a sense that what was locked inside has found room to breathe. Over time, this work can help you loosen the attachment to the stories in the mind and attune more fully to the song of the heart.

I'm a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), trained in Dr. Peter Levine's approach to trauma healing and nervous system regulation. I hold advanced training in Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness with Dr. David Treleaven and am a registered Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher with the British Association of Mindfulness-Based Approaches.

I'm also a certified Kripalu Yoga teacher, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga instructor, and have training in Internal Family Systems and Buddhist Chaplaincy. I'm currently completing my master's degree in Mindfulness-Based Approaches at Bangor University (Wales, UK), where my thesis focuses on developing novel mindfulness-based programs. I bring a blend of these approaches to my individual and group offerings.
