This is my life's work.
And it started with my own.

I'm an intuitive, introverted, sensitive human being. As a child, my inner world felt more real to me than the world outside it — and that sensitivity, while a gift, could also feel profoundly lonely. By eighteen, I had been hospitalized for suicidal intent and had spent years cycling through medications and therapies, mostly hoping to become someone who could just be okay.

​

For a long time, I was resigned to the idea that unhappiness was simply who I was.

Learning to live inside my body changed everything.

My first yoga class cracked something open. Lying in savasana, I felt something I didn't have a name for — a warmth, a sense of possibility, an unfamiliar but unmistakable feeling of being at home. I knew immediately that this mattered.
 

Learning to experience life from inside my body — after years of living disconnected from it — gave me a completely new relationship with my own mind and emotions. That led me to meditation, which gave me the capacity to meet the inevitable difficulties of life with more steadiness. And meditation led me to Tibetan Buddhism, whose philosophy of compassion and service has become the spiritual foundation of my work with others.

And then Jung helped me find my soul.

For the past several years, I've been a student of Jungian depth psychology — and it has given me a more complete understanding of why body and mind work the way they do, and what it means to live a whole life.
 

Jung believed that all symptoms — physical or psychological — are attempts at self-healing. Communications from the unconscious, pointing toward something we need to understand about ourselves and our path. I believe this too. It shapes everything about how I work.

There was never anything wrong with me. And there is nothing wrong with you.

What I bring to this work isn't just training — it's the particular understanding that comes from having lived it. The loneliness and sensitivity I once experienced as burdens have become the most important gifts I bring to my clients. They allow me to truly companion others on their own journeys, with deep respect for their agency, their pace, and their own inner knowing.


I have no agenda for the people I work with. My role is to help you understand yourself more fully — and to offer a de-pathologizing lens on your experience. We all need the right support and the right practices to hold us as we learn and grow, in our own direction and on our own terms.
 

I am honored by the trust others place in me.

This work is rooted in Jungian depth psychology, Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, and NARM (the NeuroAffective Relational Model). It's holistic, non-pathologizing, and shaped entirely around you — your history, your body, your pace, your worldview.

Somatic coaching is not psychotherapy. Somatic coaching is a de-pathologizing, body-based, holistic modality that centers client experience and autonomy. This work includes meditation, dream work, movement, embodiment/ somatic support, nervous system support,  and somatic-based trauma healing support. I am not a licensed mental health professional and do not diagnose or treat mental illness.
