About My Clients
Do you feel uneasy, tense, or unsafe in your own body? Trapped by your own thoughts and emotions, like a nagging feeling or muscular tension that create a state of unrest, fear or dissatisfaction within you? I know that feeling; that sensation that we try to ignore with distractions but just won’t go away completely.
My Background and Approach
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, the stress of everyday life or the aftermath of trauma, your body is the container that holds it all—thoughts, feelings, sensations—all our lived experiences that make us who we are. Some of these can help us thrive and feel safe and some can make us feel stuck, uncertain, and reactive, like a pressure cooker waiting to eject all of it when we least expect it. Using a warm and engaging approach, I merge cutting-edge research in neuroscience with therapeutic tools to help you develop your own tools and strategies that you can access anytime, anywhere. Together we will focus on both, alleviating your immediate source of distress and increase your sense of safety and well-being, ultimately creating your own toolbox from within.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a Somatic Therapist, I believe it is essential to work with the mind-body connection in the therapy process so that healing can happen all the way down to the nervous system, not just by making sense of things in our mind but in our body. I enjoy working with people from all identities and backgrounds and hold an affinity toward issues of acculturation and assimilation. When I’m not at work, I enjoy taking walks my family and dog, gardening, visiting outdoor markets, and reading.
