LCSW, 15 years of experience
I work with high-functioning adults who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, emotional pain, or self-sabotage—even after years of talk therapy. My work integrates trauma-informed, somatic, and nervous system-based approaches with subconscious reprogramming, helping you gently shift the deeper beliefs and survival patterns your body still holds. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship patterns, or seeking deeper connection to your authentic self, this integration helps us move toward healing that is not only insightful, but embodied and lasting.
When people come to therapy, they often want to “think” their way out of how they feel. But many emotional struggles come from the subconscious mind, not the conscious one. That’s why just “talking it through” or using logic isn’t always enough. In therapy, we’re working to bring the subconscious to light—gently and safely. That might look like: Becoming aware of old emotional wounds or beliefs you didn’t know were there. Noticing patterns in how you relate to others. Exploring where physical symptoms (like tension, pain, or anxiety) may come from stored emotion or trauma in your Nervous System. Understanding your body’s responses even when your thoughts don’t “make sense". This isn’t always easy work, but it's transformative.

My work integrates trauma-informed, somatic, and nervous system-based approaches with subconscious reprogramming, helping you gently shift the deeper beliefs and survival patterns your body still holds. Whether you’re struggling with chronic stress, relational wounds, or a disconnect from yourself, I offer a safe and compassionate space to heal—not just with insight, but with nervous system safety and subconscious transformation that supports real, lasting change.
Trauma, stress, and unresolved emotional pain often get stored in the body’s implicit memory—muscles, fascia, organs, nervous system—not just in conscious thoughts. That means your vibrational frequency is tied to physical and energetic states that may not shift just by talking. In subconscious healing and somatic therapy, our focus is not just on processing what’s happening around you or how others are behaving, but on exploring how your internal patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses have been shaped—often by past experiences that are still influencing your present. This approach works best for clients that are ready to put in the work to heal and want more than just a safe space to vent and ruminate in the symptoms.
