About me
Experience transformative healing through somatic therapy. I offer a supportive space filled with warmth, creativity, and compassion to help you shift perspectives, explore new behaviors, and achieve meaningful growth. Together, we’ll navigate your path to healing with care, insight, and understanding.
With extensive experience supporting adults of all ages, I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-awareness, trauma, and career development. As a certified Hakomi practitioner, I use a mindfulness-centered approach to foster deep transformation by exploring thoughts, emotions, bodily experiences, and memories.
My practice is shaped by a rich blend of professional and personal experiences. As a parent, artist, coach, and former software designer and manager, I bring creativity, intuition, and practical insight to my work. I believe in the power of creativity to nurture the spirit and often integrate tools like parts-of-self work and expressive art exercises into sessions. These approaches invite clients to connect with and explore the layers of their inner world, fostering self-awareness and meaningful growth.
Whether you're seeking greater self-awareness, relief from emotional pain, or tools to navigate life’s transitions, I’m here to help you grow into the person you want to be. We’ll work together to uncover your strengths, navigate challenges, and empower you to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
