ABOUT ME

I work with relational and sexual trauma — especially when it shapes identity, disrupts belonging, or lives in the nervous system. Many of the people I work with tell me that so much has happened to them, they worry no one will believe them. Others don’t recognize their experiences as trauma at all. Instead, it shows up as shame, shutdown, deep loneliness, disconnection, people-pleasing, overthinking, or tolerating too much just to avoid abandonment.

 

Relational and sexual trauma shape how you love, how you protect yourself, who you trust, what you tolerate, how much you share, and how much you hide to stay connected or safe. It’s the shame that whispers you’re too much or not enough. It’s the pain that settles into the bones.

 

It also shows up in the body — as hypervigilance, numbness, discomfort with touch, sudden freezing or going blank, slumping posture, emotional overwhelm, tension in the jaw, pain during sex, the urge to disappear, or making yourself small to keep others comfortable. If you carry pain that was never fully seen, trauma that felt subtle but cut deep, or shame that slowly disconnected you from your own worth — you’re welcome here.

 

My work is experiential, drawing from IFS, AEDP, EMDR, and somatic approaches to support healing that moves beyond coping — toward deeper, embodied, relational repair. Many of the people who find me are healing from sexual abuse or relational trauma and have already done years of talking and understanding. What they’re longing for now is something felt, experiential, grounded, and rooted in the body.

 

This work unfolds slowly and gently, creating enough safety for honest emotion, deeper repair, and lasting change.
