“One of the deepest longings of the human soul is to be seen.” John O’Donohue

As a somatic therapist and anthropologist I attend to the ways that traumatic experiences impact everyday lives and communities. Through attuned touch and slow movement I facilitate resolution of somatic symptoms and related behavioral patterns that express unmet needs and traumatic stress. My intention is to recognize and honor each individual’s current somatic capacities, and to carefully guide a slow, sustainable process of capacity-building toward resilience and profound connection with self and the world. A first step in this direction is having the experience of sincerely being seen and met for who you are. I whole-heartedly hold the space for this encounter.

I specialize in adults who are living the effects of early/developmental trauma, such as autoimmune complications, depression and anxiety. And I commonly work as an adjunctive member of wellness teams that support individuals processing chronic illness. I have extensive experience supporting academic faculty and graduate students, as well as individuals moving through professional and life transitions.

I'm here to help :-).

I work in a low-VOC office space.
