Many of my clients are women and members of the LGBTQ+ community who are high achieving and yet feel confused by reactions they can’t quite understand, such as emotional overwhelm, reactivity, anxiety or people pleasing. Physical issues such as headaches, IBS, fibromyalgia, chronic pain or autoimmune disorders are not uncommon. In our work together we gently incorporate the body and nervous system, helping you develop greater awareness, regulation, and a sense of choice in how you respond to life’s challenges.
I work in tangent with clients' medical providers to support a variety of issues including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, IBS, migraines, PCOS, chronic pain, and autoimmune disorders.
I frequently work with women feeling anxious and burned out and not knowing how to be different. I support women through relationships and parenting, illness, loss, fertility journeys, divorce, and mid life changes.
I support individuals who have experienced acute or chronic trauma in childhood or beyond. We work together to understand how trauma manifests in the body and impacts present day.
I'm a southern transplant now serving Boston and beyond. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with an approach that is heartfelt and soul centered yet grounded in research and neuroscience. My work is integrative, trauma informed and rooted in attachment theory, mindfulness, and somatic psychology. I have completed all of the coursework for my doctorate in clinical psychology, hold a master's in community and clinical psychology and have advanced training in Somatic Experiencing® (SE™), an evidenced based, body centered approach for healing trauma and bringing balance to the nervous system. I'm here to help you shed the stories and protective patterns held in the body, guiding you back to your true self.

Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) is a gentle and effective approach to healing from trauma and stress that focuses on the wisdom of your body. When a person experiences trauma, the body’s survival responses, such as fight, flight, or freeze, can become stuck in a state of activation. Even long after a difficult experience has passed, the nervous system may continue to respond as though danger is still present. This can lead to symptoms such as anxiety, reactivity, emotional overwhelm, numbness, or a persistent sense of being “on edge.” SE is an evidenced based treatment that allows you to gradually release the grip of past trauma and reclaim a greater sense of vitality, well-being, and empowerment in your life.
