A Holistic Path to Lasting Change

Combining Clinical Expertise with a Grounded, Body-Focused Approach

A
t Embodied Psychotherapy, PLLC, I know that true wellness is about more than just checking off symptoms. My work is intuitive and exploratory, built on the understanding that our bodies hold onto our life stories. Using an approach centered entirely on your needs, I help you unlearn patterns that aren't serving you and reconnect with your own inner wisdom. Whether you are navigating complex trauma, addiction, or the burnout that comes with a high-pressure life, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can heal through self-acceptance and awareness.

Trauma Care Rooted in Neuroscience

Looking Deeper Than Traditional Talk Therapy

I blend relational therapy with the latest brain science to help you process complex and developmental trauma. By using tools like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing, we work to release trauma stored in the body and bring your system back into balance. This approach is especially helpful for those breaking generational cycles, neurodivergent individuals, and survivors of dysfunctional family dynamics.

Healing happens when your brain and your body finally start working together again.

Inclusive & Justice-Centered Care

Treating Dignity as a Basic Human Right

I look at mental health through a lens that acknowledges how external systems and power dynamics affect our well-being. I am committed to providing care that is culturally responsive and free from oppressive paradigms. My practice is a welcoming space for people of all gender identities, sexualities, and relationship styles, ensuring that every person is treated with genuine respect.

You do not have to prove your worth to deserve a safe place to heal.

Specialized Support & Integration

Guidance Through Complex Life Transitions

I offer specialized support for people recovering from high-demand groups or coercive control, as well as those seeking a grounded way to process psychedelic experiences. These sessions offer a safe space to regain your footing and process big insights or difficult pasts. I also work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective, helping you build a kinder relationship with your body that is not focused on weight or numbers.

Taking back your agency is a vital step toward finding your own strength.
