Plate II — The Body
And you won't be doing this alone — what I bring is training in how change actually happens: in the brain, in the body, and between people.
Some of what you're carrying lives below language. It shows up in your sleep, your startle, your shoulders, the way your chest tightens at 4 p.m. So we include your nervous system, not just your story.
Most of what I teach comes down to a handful of learnable skills: choosing where your attention goes, reading your body's cues, and finding the edges of your window of tolerance — so you can respond instead of react.
Sessions are collaborative and paced by your nervous system, not a protocol.
Recognition
If any of these landed, you're in the right place.
Plate III — Specializations
Pregnancy, birth, postpartum anxiety and depression, matrescence, and the identity earthquake nobody warns you about. As a mother of two, I know this terrain from the inside.
ADHD, sensory sensitivity, late diagnosis, masking and burnout. Neurodivergent-affirming care — no pathologizing, no scripts.
EMDR and body-based approaches for trauma, chronic stress, and the patterns that outlived their usefulness. Gentle, structured, and grounded in current neuroscience.
New-parent couples, mixed-neurotype and cross-cultural relationships, and families with young kids — for when the people you love most are the ones you can't stop misfiring with.
The chrysalis is not a pause in the story. It is where the whole story changes.The shape of the work
Plate IV — The Naturalist
Therapist, mother of two, and lifelong student of the nervous system. My path here ran through fine arts, neuroscience, and over two decades of contemplative practice — and everything I learned along the way comes into the room with me.
My training includes EMDR, somatic and polyvagal-informed approaches, HeartMath, prenatal yoga, and perinatal mental health.
