Find your way out of survival mode and back into calm.
I know how it feels to live in constant stress — I spent decades stuck there, followed by three years of chronic fatigue. What finally helped me wasn’t more talking or reflecting, but tools and healing practices that brought my nervous system back into balance. Now, I share those same practices to help others reclaim their peace.
If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, please know you’re not broken. You may just need different tools — practices that go beyond words and reach the deeper layers of your body and mind.
Together, we’ll work gently, at your pace, with approaches that support your whole system, so you can begin to feel safe, calm, and at home in yourself again.
Every client’s journey is unique, but what I hear most often is relief: ‘For the first time, I feel hopeful.’
I’m trained in somatic work and hypnotherapy but more importantly, I bring lived experience. I know what it’s like to struggle for years — and I know it’s possible to heal.”
You don’t have to live in survival mode forever. There’s a gentler way forward, and I’d be honored to walk beside you as you discover it.

My Approach
Everything I offer comes from what I’ve studied and lived. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all healing. I believe in giving you tools, insight, and support so that you can truly understand yourself — and begin to feel more whole, alive, and in sync.
Honoring Your Healing
Every month you wait, the weight of old patterns grows heavier. The price of inaction is carrying the same fears and exhaustion into the next chapter of your life.

FAQ
-
Somatic work is a body-centered approach to healing that helps you reconnect with your physical self, calm the nervous system, and release emotions stored in the body. Many of us live in a constant state of stress or disconnection — especially after burnout, trauma, or chronic illness.
In our sessions, I use gentle, accessible practices I’ve found deeply supportive in my own recovery from chronic fatigue. These include guided awareness and nervous system regulation techniques — all designed to help you feel safer, more grounded, and fully present in your body again.
-
Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process that guides you into a calm, focused state — similar to a daydream or deep relaxation. You’re fully aware and in control the entire time. From this state, we can gently access the subconscious mind — the part of you that holds deep-rooted beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns.
This isn’t about being “hypnotized” or losing control. It’s about creating the right conditions for insight, healing, and transformation. Through imagery, gentle suggestion, and inner exploration, we begin to shift what’s been keeping you stuck — so new perspectives and possibilities can emerge.
-
No — while I’m trained in psychology and bring a deep understanding of the mind to my work, what I offer is not traditional talk therapy. I work as a psychological coach, combining intuitive pattern recognition with somatic practices, hypnotherapy-inspired techniques, and energy work to support emotional healing and self-awareness.
This approach is more integrative and experiential than conventional therapy — it’s about tuning into both mind and body to create lasting shifts, rather than only talking things through.
Please note: This work is not a substitute for psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or medical treatment. If you’re in crisis or need clinical mental health support, I encourage you to seek help from a licensed mental health professional.

The number of sessions varies depending on your unique situation and goals. We’ll discuss this together during our introductory call to find the best approach for you.
My work goes deep and supports lasting transformation, which often requires space and time to integrate between sessions. Rather than weekly appointments, sessions are typically spread out over weeks or months to allow you to fully absorb and apply what we explore. Some people find profound shifts in just a few sessions, while others prefer ongoing support over time.
