Chronic illness trauma & loss

Somatic Interventions - body-based practices to help you reconnect with physical sensations in a way that feels safe rather than threatening

Brainspotting - a powerful, evidence-based approach that accesses trauma and distress held below the level of conscious thinking - particularly effective for chronic pain and illness-related trauma

Attachment-Focused Therapy - explore how your relational patterns affect how you receive care, ask for help, and maintain connection when you're depleted

Healing from life's transitions

When life's challenges become overwhelming, your mental health deserves compassionate support. Therapy offers a safe space to explore grief, anger, and isolation, helping you find clarity and strength amidst your struggles. You are not alone in this journey.

You deserve compassionate support that recognizes the full story of your body and mind. Therapy can guide you toward genuine healing and resilience.

Healing Through Empathy

 My understanding of the emotional, relational, and spiritual impact of chronic pain and illness doesn't come only from clinical training. It comes from lived experience.

I know what it is like to navigate a medical system that doesn't always have answers. To feel invisible in your pain. To wonder who you are when your body has fundamentally changed the shape of your life. 

That experience makes me a different kind of therapist for this work - one who won't minimize what you're carrying, and who understands that healing doesn't always mean getting better. Sometimes it means learning to live fully within a life that looks different than you planned.
