Mind-Body Therapy & Holistic Healing

I provide body-based trauma therapy (somatic therapy for trauma) that goes beyond talk. By integrating holistic mental health practices, we address the root of disconnection. We integrate holistic practices with Western modalities like ACT and Psychodynamic Therapy. I believe you cannot resolve internal issues with external solutions. Whether we use laughter yoga or primal expression, I encourage leaning into discomfort as a doorway to growth.

Each of you carries the wisdom and guidance you need within; it’s simply a matter of quieting the external noise to reconnect with your true, divine self.
