My work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection—connection to self, to body, to others, and to the present moment. Trauma, stress, and disconnection often cause us to leave the body as a way to protect ourselves. Therapy becomes a space to return home—to reinhabit the body with safety, curiosity, and compassion.
I view symptoms not as something to fix, but as messages from the nervous system that deserve understanding. Together, we bring awareness to patterns that have developed from past pain or adaptive survival strategies, and gently create new ways of relating to those experiences. Healing, in this sense, is not about erasing what has happened, but about integrating it so you can move through life with more ease, authenticity, and choice.
My approach draws from somatic psychology, mindfulness, attachment theory, and Polyvagal principles. These modalities invite a deeper awareness of how the body communicates and how we can regulate, resource, and repair from within. I also incorporate elements of creativity, movement, and applied Buddhism, honoring the wisdom that healing is both a psychological and spiritual process.
Ultimately, my philosophy is that the body knows how to heal—therapy is simply the practice of listening.
