Are you looking to create new ways of relating to yourself and others? Are you searching for support to manage stress or a time of change? Do you want to feel more joy? Sometimes difficulties feel too big, and one can experience pain and stress. Folks seek me for support with stress, anxiety, depression, physical pain, trauma, the process of acculturation and belonging, loss and grief, sexuality, parenting issues, chronic illness, and creative blocks. They want to heal from the impact these have on their mental and emotional experience, relationships, and health. They hope to feel more aliveness and regain a sense of purpose.
As a somatic therapist, my work is grounded in different mind-body approaches. They are guided by an understanding that our experiences, how we feel and how we respond are shaped by society and cultures. With a warm curious style I offer a space to explore how the body tells these stories to find balance from overwhelm, fatigue, numbness and pain.
If you are looking to reconnect with what you care most in your life and feel more joy, freedom and wellbeing, I know that somatic therapy can help. Like Rupi Kaur said, "If the hurt comes, so will the happiness." I want to hear your story and offer my company through your healing.
