Are you seeking meaningful healing and ready to embark on a transformative journey? Whether you are navigating life with a dissociative system, feeling the weight of burnout as a nurse or healthcare worker, or grappling with conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Mast Cell activation syndrome, severe allergies, anaphylaxis, Dysautonomia, or "medical" PTSD, I am here to walk alongside you. My mission is to provide unwavering support as you reclaim control, find solace, and rediscover your resilience. Together, we will navigate the complexities, unveiling new paths toward healing, growth, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Through the unique fusion of body and movement-based therapies, a sprinkle of play, elements from sandtray, and internal family systems tied together with creative arts interventions you can create, reveal, explore, become, transform and heal from trauma.
Come explore a creative path with me where safety, healing, and hope intersect. You deserve a safe enough space to slow down, begin to heal, and foster hope that there is more to life than pain and repeating patterns.
