About Me
I’m a trauma therapist and therapeutic yoga specialist who integrates EMDR, somatic practices, and parts work to support deep, sustainable healing. My approach is client-centered, body-aware, and grounded in nervous system science. I work with adults navigating anxiety, relational wounds, and identity transitions. Clients describe me as warm, intuitive, and collaborative — especially when holding complexity. I offer in-person sessions in Connecticut and virtual sessions across CT and NY.
