My path into this work began nearly 20 years ago when I left a strict religious upbringing and a marriage marked early on by betrayal and rupture. There was a lot to undo. A lot I had been carrying without knowing how deeply it had settled into me.

For a long time, I tried to understand myself through reflection alone. I could see patterns clearly. I could name them, analyze them, trace them back. And still, I kept finding myself inside them. Reacting in ways I didn’t intend, getting overwhelmed, shutting down, or leaving myself in moments that mattered.

Understanding didn’t change what was actually happening.

I tried to work with myself from the top down using awareness, insight, and effort. It helped, but only up to a point. Something still wasn’t reachable.

Eventually, I saw what I had been missing. The body wasn’t just holding experience, it was organizing it. And it wasn’t abstract. It was happening in real time.

When I began working somatically, something became accessible that I hadn’t been able to reach through thinking alone. Not answers exactly, but access. To sensation. To the moment before language. To the pattern as it was forming.

Over time, I began to meet myself differently. Not by overriding what was happening (I’d done plenty of that), but by staying close enough to it that something else could emerge.

Slowly, the same old moments started to feel slightly different.

A little more space.

A little more choice.

A little less self-abandonment inside them.

Not dramatic. Not linear. But real enough to trust that something was changing at the level where change actually happens.

This is the work I now share with others.

I work with people living in that gap between understanding themselves and actually experiencing something different. People who can name their patterns but still find themselves inside them. People navigating emotional intensity in relationships, identity, attachment, jealousy, longing, and disconnection, including non-monogamous and poly relationships where these patterns often become especially visible.

People who are tired of insight that does not land.

People who are ready for something that meets them where it actually happens.

This work is not about fixing yourself.

It is about learning how to stay with yourself, especially in the moments you usually don’t.

From there, something begins to shift, not all at once, but enough to start living from a different place inside yourself and your relationships.

If this resonates, you are warmly invited to explore working together.
