Integrative trauma therapist for high-achieving women and creatives
My work weaves neuroscience, somatics, and Brainspotting or EMDR into one integrated approach for women who've outgrown insight-only therapy and want shifts they can feel, not just name.My work weaves neuroscience, somatics, and Brainspotting or EMDR into one integrated approach for women who've outgrown insight-only therapy and want shifts they can feel, not just name.
If you’re holding it all together but quietly unraveling, you’re not alone
You’re the one people rely on.
You get things done. You show up. Underneath, something feels off: a tiredness sleep doesn’t fix, an overthinking that won’t quit, a tightness that doesn’t match the life you’ve built. You’ve read the books, named the patterns, talked it through. You understand yourself. And nothing really shifts.
The women I work with most often are leaders, founders, and high-functioning professionals, alongside creatives: writers, photographers, musicians. People who carry a lot, do a lot, and are ready for therapy that respects how much work they’ve already done on themselves.
The shift that changed how I practice
For years, I worked the way most therapists are trained to work: weekly, open-ended, one hour at a time. I watched brilliant, hard-working women make real progress and still hit the same wall. They could name every pattern. They understood themselves better than anyone in their lives. And the thing underneath kept holding on.
What I noticed was that the missing piece wasn’t more insight. It was time, and a different kind of work. Fifty minutes doesn’t give the nervous system room to actually move. So I built my practice around something that does: focused blocks of time that combine somatic, cognitive, and trauma-resolution work in one container. Breakthrough Intensives are how I help women get to the change they’ve been working toward.
A whole-person approach
A truly integrative approach
My work moves through the whole system, not just the thinking brain. I start with what your body and nervous system are doing, then add the cognitive and trauma-resolution work on top of a regulated foundation. The sequence matters as much as the tools.
1. Understand
I teach you the neuroscience of stress and trauma so you know what’s happening in your body and why. Understanding the mechanics takes shame out of the equation.
2. Regulate
Yoga, breathwork, and somatic practices build real nervous-system regulation, not just techniques to try later. This is the foundation everything else sits on.
3. Reframe
Cognitive work tones the nervous system and changes how you relate to your own thoughts, so the same triggers stop running the show.
4. Clear
Brainspotting and EMDR move what talk therapy can’t reach. This is the work that clears out the stuck material underneath.

I’ve been where you are
I’ve been there. Tired. Stuck in survival mode. Telling myself “this is as good as it gets,” and knowing better at the same time. The work I do now is the work I needed then, and it’s why I built this practice the way I did. When I’m not in the office, I’m on my mat, with my people, or somewhere outside getting my own nervous system regulated.
