Message to clients

Hi there! If you're looking for a somatic (body-based) approach to healing from trauma and breaking patterns of codependency, we may be a great fit! Your body has the wisdom to support and guide you through this difficult season, and my work is dedicated to helping you learn how to listen. I know the search for a therapist can be a daunting task, and I look forward to connecting with you over a free 20 minute consultation call if it feels like we may be a good fit!
