In a world that often rewards over functioning, performance, and self abandonment, many people lose connection with the nuanced language of their own body. Healing is not about keeping up. It is about slowing down enough to listen.

What we call anxiety, burnout, chronic overwhelm, numbness, people pleasing, perfectionism, or disconnection are often intelligent adaptations shaped by trauma, chronic stress, relational wounds, religious or spiritual abuse, or environments where it was not safe to trust one’s own instincts and embodied experience.

Many of the people I work with are highly self aware and insightful, yet still feel disconnected from what is actually true for them underneath the story, analysis, or survival response.

My work is grounded in Somatic Experiencing® and informed by applied neurobiology, contemplative practice, somatic parts work, and a biopsychosocial understanding of healing that recognizes the interconnectedness of body, mind, relationships, environment, and meaning making. My Doctor of Pharmacy degree gives me a deep understanding of physiology, while my training as a UC Berkeley Certified Coach, my Wellness Counseling Certificate from Cornell University, and my completed training as an approved Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner uniquely inform my approach to nervous system regulation, self trust, trauma resolution, and embodied transformation.

Together, we move slowly and attentively, helping the nervous system come out of survival patterns while restoring greater capacity for felt sense, embodiment, vitality, self trust, and connection.

Because healing is not just about feeling better,

It is about awakening aliveness, coming home to yourself, and learning to hear your own inner voice again.
