I am a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and trauma healing professional. Helping people transform suffering by learning to listen to, trust, and uncover the wisdom and healing that resides within their own bodies and beings is one of my greatest joys.

This gentle, body-oriented approach moves at the pace of your own nervous system and offers a depathologizing lens to support inner listening skills, compassionate understanding and trauma resolution. While traditional talk therapy tends to focus on story, thoughts and working with the brain to heal trauma, somatic therapies are based on the understanding that the body has an equally important role in healing trauma and chronic stress. A body-based process empowers people to honor and be led by their own inner experience rather than rely on an external authority. Learning to experience life from the inside out can lead to self-trust, heal our relationship with ourselves, and enable us to interact with the world in new, connective and authentic ways.

In addition, I am a 500 RYT yoga teacher and have studied and taught yin, hatha/ vinyasa and kundalini yoga for over 10 years. My background includes pursuing a professional dance career, working for social justice organizations and living in many different countries and cultures around the world. I am part of two somatic anti-racism groups as I believe that somatic work isn’t just for individual healing, but also for collective transformation.
