People navigating grief or significant loss.

Individuals living with cancer. 

Caregivers and family members of someone with cancer or a life limiting illness.

People in the middle of a major life transition.

Those who feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected.

People who have tried therapy before and are looking to include a somatic approach.

Those who are new to therapy and want a gentle, gradual start.

Helping professionals who spend their days supporting others and need somewhere that's just for them.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) students at all levels seeking personal sessions as part of their training and development.

You are navigating grief, loss, or bereavement and want somewhere to process it honestly.

You or someone you love has been affected by cancer, and you need support that understands that world.

You are a caregiver who has been so focused on someone else that you haven't had space for your own experience.

You have experienced traumatic loss and need somewhere that won't rush your grief.

You want a therapist who follows your pace and never pushes you somewhere you're not ready to go, and somewhere you don't have to protect anyone else from how you actually feel.

You want to work with someone who has also been there, not just someone who knows about it theoretically.

You feel disconnected from yourself and are not sure who you are anymore after something life-changing.

You are a helping professional, therapist, or Somatic Experiencing student looking for personal support or sessions.

Safe enough to be honest, including about things you haven't said out loud before.

Heard without judgment, free to move at your own pace, and without pressure to feel differently than you do.

Like you don't have to protect anyone from how you actually feel.

Like something that has been very heavy is a little lighter.

More connected to your body and what it's been trying to tell you.

Like there is space for all of it, the grief, the fear, the love, the confusion.

Held, heard, and a little less alone.

Respected as the expert of your own experience.

What's brought you here, and what kind of support you are looking for.

Any questions you have about sessions or what to expect.

Whether this feels like the right fit for both of us.

Show up the same way every session as consistent, present and genuinely engaged.

Walk beside you.

Treat you as the expert of your own experience. I am not here to tell you how to feel or what to do.

Follow your pace rather than have an agenda.

Check in regularly so we can adjust our pace or direction together as needed.

If it is comfortable with you, invite the body into our work.
