Most of us have been conditioned since childhood to ignore the messages our bodies are trying to communicate. The headache from too much screen time, the stomach knots before a family dinner, the shoulder tension during conflict—these sensations hold valuable information. If you’ve spent years pushing through discomfort but still experience chronic pain, digestive issues, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, depression, or burnout, your body may be calling for attention in ways beyond words.

In therapy, we practice slowing down, listening to your body, and building awareness of the emotions and sensations that shape your experience. Through this process, you can reconnect with yourself, strengthen relationships, and engage with the world in a more meaningful way.

Change begins with awareness. I am passionate about creating a safe, affirming space for my clients to tune into their emotions, heal past traumas, and integrate their full selves. Together, we will honor the wounds, grief, joy, and growth that shape your journey—so you can experience life with greater connection and presence.
