I am a somatic therapist with more than twenty-five years of experience helping women heal from trauma, navigate life transitions, and reconnect with themselves.

My work is grounded in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing®, attachment, stress physiology, and mindfulness.  

My clinical roots are in Marriage and Family Therapy, family systems and generational patterns and trauma healing. 

Over the years, I've learned that healing unfolds as we create the conditions for your nervous system to feel safe enough to settle, reconnect, and move forward.

Our body, mind, heart and spirit are intricately connected and I welcome all parts of you for the best results! 

I believe meaningful change happens through relationship, curiosity, and compassionate attention.

Together we'll slow down enough to notice what your mind and body have been trying to communicate, while building the resources needed to move through life's challenges with greater resilience and freedom.

I don't rush sessions or fill every hour of every day. I value presence over productivity, allowing space for therapy to unfold with care rather than urgency.

I'll often offer practical tools you can use between sessions, helping you bring what we discover together into your everyday life.

Like many of the women I work with, I've experienced my own seasons of change, loss, healing, and beginning again. 

Those experiences have deepened both my compassion and my respect for the remarkable capacity people have to grow and expand throughout every stage of life.

Outside the therapy room, you'll often find me exploring quiet places in nature, camping, traveling, or simply paying attention to the small moments that remind me what helps life begin flowing again.

Those experiences continue to shape both my life and my work.

I offer virtual, somatic psychotherapy for women throughout Missouri and Kansas.

Most clients choose to meet every two weeks, though together we'll determine a rhythm that best supports your needs. Sometimes we spend a short period of time in some intensive (longer) sessions to move through something and get to the other side without taking too long. 

Some people work with me for a season of life, while others return over the years whenever they would like additional support.

I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people through both the difficult passages and the joyful ones.

If you're looking for a therapist who values presence, collaboration, and whole-person healing, I'd be honored to meet you.
