Working With Me
I work with adults who often appear calm and capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. Many of my clients are deep thinkers who have tried thinking their way to relief and are now ready for a different kind of approach.
What A Session Feels Like
When we work together, sessions are not about fixing you. They are about creating a space where your body and nervous system can show up safely. We pay attention to the felt experience, the places your body holds tension, the breaths that come and go, the impulses that rise and fall, because that is where healing moves from concept to lived experience.
How We Begin and What You Can Expect Over Time
We begin by slowing things down.
Our early sessions focus on creating enough safety and steadiness for your nervous system to be present. Rather than rushing into change, we pay attention to what your body is already communicating through sensation, breath, pacing, and impulse. This helps us understand how your system learned to protect you and what it needs in order to feel supported now.
You do not need to have the right words or a clear story. We move at a pace your body can tolerate, tracking what feels manageable and noticing when something feels like too much. Over time, this builds trust in the process and in your own internal signals.
This work is collaborative and responsive. I am actively present with you, helping you stay oriented and grounded as we explore what arises, always with an eye toward safety, consent, and choice.
Change in somatic work is often subtle before it is obvious.
Many clients notice small but meaningful shifts first, such as feeling more settled in their body, recovering more quickly from overwhelm, or recognizing stress responses sooner. These early changes are signs of increased nervous system capacity, even if old patterns still show up.
As we continue, you may find that emotions feel more accessible, boundaries become clearer, and reactions that once felt automatic begin to soften. Instead of pushing through or shutting down, there is more room for choice, self-compassion, and responsiveness.
Over time, clients often describe feeling more present in their bodies, more trusting of their internal cues, and less driven by survival strategies that no longer fit. Healing does not happen all at once, but it becomes something you can feel, not just understand.
