About Me
Someone to walk with you
In my practice, we move at the pace of the body. We create space for whatever wants to arise, trusting the wisdom of your unfolding. Trained in Relational Somatic Healing, I work with people who are ready to untangle the patterns, beliefs, and stuck energy that have kept their authentic expression hidden - particularly those healing from trauma and learning to feel safe in relationship again.
Like a tree that bends toward light or finds a way to root in rocky soil, your survival strategies are to be celebrated. They are testaments to your strength, and when you're ready, we can explore what might want to shift, soften, or be released.
Why I do this work
My own path through healing, and my years as a parent witnessing growth, resilience, and transformation have shown me the power of attuned presence. I've experienced firsthand how we can shift when someone truly sees us, celebrates us, and walks alongside us without agenda.
I came to this work because I know what it's like when hardship has us feeling alone, when the body doesn't feel safe, and when being in relationship feels risky. So much becomes possible when we have the right support. We can untangle what's been holding us back and find our way home to ourselves.
Welcome to Redwood Somatic Therapy
A Path to Resilience
Why Somatic Therapy?
Trauma Recovery
When something overwhelming happens, the body holds what the mind can't process. Trauma lives in our nervous system long after the event has passed—shaping how we respond to stress, connection, and even rest. In our work together, we approach trauma gently, at the pace your body can integrate, helping you find safety again from the inside out.
Emotional Regulation
Emotions aren't problems to solve—they're information. But when feelings arrive too fast, too big, or seemingly out of nowhere, it can be hard to trust them. Somatic therapy helps you build capacity to be with your emotions without being overwhelmed by them, developing a steadier ground to stand on.
Mind-Body Connection
We often live from the neck up, disconnected from the signals our body is sending. Somatic work invites you back into relationship with your whole self—learning to read the language of sensation, tension, and impulse. This isn't about thinking differently; it's about feeling your way toward what's true.
Self-Exploration
Beneath the roles we play and the patterns we've learned, there's someone waiting to be met. Somatic therapy creates space to explore who you are when you're not bracing, performing, or protecting. What wants to emerge when you finally have room to breathe?
Relational Healing
Our earliest wounds happen in relationship, in the space between child and caregiver. They shape how we connect for years afterward. Relational Somatic Healing goes to the source: the body, the nervous system, the lived experience of connection. We create a new, lived experience of secure connection that can transform how you relate to yourself, others, and the world. Healing happens beyond words, through the felt sense of being truly met.
Stress Relief
Stress settles into the body over time. It lives in the jaw, the shoulders, the breath. Somatic therapy goes to the source, working with your nervous system to help it settle, release, and restore. We're building resilience, a body that knows how to find its way back to calm.
