The name reflects the belief that healing involves more than understanding our experiences intellectually; it also requires listening to the body, honoring our emotions, and accessing the deeper felt knowledge we carry within us.

LPC

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and deeply relational. I believe healing happens in the presence of safety and connection, when you’re no longer alone with what you feel.

I draw primarily from AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and EMDR, integrating mind and body to support deep emotional healing. Rather than trying to get rid of emotions, we explore their adaptive wisdom. We honor how they’ve tried to protect you and help you survive.
