I've been a trauma therapist for over a decade.
I understand what it means to carry something difficult. How it lives in the body. How it shapes the way you move through the world. And how healing rarely follows a straight line.
Then I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I knew the clinical language for what I was going through. I had the training, the frameworks, the tools.
And still the hardest part was not treatment.
It was what came after.
When everyone around me exhaled and expected relief, I felt something quieter and more disorienting. Disconnected from my body. Uncertain about the future. Grieving a version of myself I was not sure was coming back.
I did not feel like myself anymore.
And I knew too much to pretend that was fine.
That experience changed the direction of my work.
Today I work specifically with breast cancer survivors who are finished with treatment but do not feel finished.
Women navigating fear of recurrence, anxiety, complicated relationships with their bodies, and the quiet loneliness of not recognizing themselves anymore.
I bring both the depth of a seasoned trauma therapist and the lived understanding of someone who has walked this path herself.
My clinical work is complemented by years of experience in yoga, bodywork, and energy medicine because lasting healing happens when the mind and body are included together.
You survived.
That took everything.
What comes next does not have to be figured out alone.
