Therapy helped you understand. But you still don't feel better.
If your anxiety or trauma lives in your body—the tight chest, racing heart, constant tension—you might need more than talk.
The Challenge
You've sat on a therapist's couch. You've talked about your childhood, your relationships, your patterns. You've gained insight.
And yet the anxiety is still there. The tension in your body. The racing thoughts. The feeling that something is wrong even when nothing is wrong.
You understand more—but you don't feel more. Not really.
That's because traditional talk therapy works with the thinking brain. But anxiety and trauma often live in a different part of the brain—the part that controls your body's stress response. And you can't think your way out of a nervous system reaction.
What's Different About This Approach
I combine talk therapy with body-based approaches that work directly with your nervous system:
EMDR helps your brain reprocess stuck memories so they stop triggering you.
Trauma Resiliency Model teaches your nervous system how to come back to baseline instead of staying stuck in overdrive.
This isn't instead of understanding yourself—it's in addition to it. We work with both your mind and your body.
This Is For You If...
• You've done talk therapy before and found it "helpful but not enough"
• Your anxiety shows up physically—tight chest, racing heart, stomach issues, muscle tension
• You "know" what your patterns are but can't seem to change them
• You're skeptical of therapy but willing to try something different
My Story
I became a therapist because talk therapy wasn't enough for me, either.
In my early twenties, anxiety hit hard. I went to therapy. It helped me understand patterns—but the physical symptoms stayed. The racing heart, the constant tension, the sense that something was wrong.
Everything changed when I found a therapist who worked with both the body and the mind. That's when I learned: you can't think your way out of a nervous system response.
Now that's the work I do. And it's what I can help you do.
