When life is challenging—parenting neurodiverse children, relationship pain, decision fatigue, sensory overload, and not enough time to recover—your body may return to its survival settings. In our work together, we’ll work on developing deeper embodiment states and building nervous system steadiness from the inside out, so you can feel calmer in your life and more capable in the moments that can tip the nervous system into overwhelm.

I’m especially helpful for people navigating parenting stress and neurodiverse family dynamics. Together, we’ll make a plan for the hard parts: what to do when everything escalates, how to reset after a blow-up, how to protect your energy, maintain your inner sense of groundedness, and how to create rhythms at home that actually support your nervous system. We’ll work toward more ease, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of “I can handle this.”

I also support people working with depression, including ketamine preparation and integration. We’ll pay attention to what comes up during ketamine work—images, emotions, body sensations, shifts in perspective—and then translate that into grounded change you can take into how you move in your life.

My style is person-centered, interactive, and collaborative. I’ll be engaged with you in real time, and we’ll track what helps your system settle—breath, movement, sensation, pacing, and simple practices you can use every day. My approach is rooted in embodiment and shaped by my background as a massage therapist for 20 years and a long-term yoga and mindfulness practice (as both student and instructor).
