A trauma-informed relational and somatic therapist for women experiencing emotional and physiological dysregulation linked to long-standing patterns and complex trauma and coping

strategies. You might find yourself overthinking what you’ve said or done, giving a lot in relationships but not always receiving the same in return, or repeating dynamics that leave you feeling drained, anxious, or disconnected from yourself.

Often, the women I work with are capable and insightful, but still feel that something deeper isn’t settling or shifting.

Many of my clients have experienced complex or long-standing trauma, and notice that this can show up not only emotionally, but physically — through anxiety attacks, chronic tension, digestive issues, skin flare-ups, fatigue, or moments where the body feels overwhelmed, shut down, or disconnected. These responses can feel confusing, especially when they don’t seem to match what is happening externally.

Some clients also notice patterns of relying on coping strategies such as alcohol to manage emotional overwhelm or to take the edge off difficult internal states.

In our work together, we approach this with curiosity and compassion, exploring what these strategies may have been helping you to manage, and how you might begin to find alternative ways of supporting yourself.

My approach is grounded in Gestalt therapy, which focuses on

present-moment awareness and how your patterns are actively showing up in your life as you live it. Rather than only talking about experiences, we pay attention to what is happening in your thoughts, emotions, and body in real time. This helps create deeper awareness and opens up the possibility of change

that feels embodied and sustainable.
