My Story

​I work with high-achieving women who feel powerful in every area of their lives except in intimacy. Women who know how to lead, perform, and hold it all together… but feel disconnected from their bodies, unsure how to receive love, and stuck in patterns that leave them unfulfilled in relationships.

​

Because that woman used to be me.

​

I was deeply driven, independent, and self-aware—yet underneath it all, I struggled with anxious and avoidant patterns, people-pleasing, and a lack of clear boundaries. I craved deep love and connection, but I didn’t know how to create it. When I tried to express my needs, it often came out reactive or desperate. And when love was offered to me, I didn’t know how to fully receive it.

​

I held incredibly high standards for my partners, believing they had to meet every mark to be “worthy” enough to date. But the truth was, I just didn’t feel fully secure or at home within myself. I was strong-willed and completely disconnected from my body.

​

I grew up in an environment where intimacy and self-expression were limited. I learned to be a “good girl”, someone one who kept the peace, who performed, who didn’t ask for too much. Over time, that disconnection showed up in my relationships: situation-ships that lacked depth, intimacy that felt performative, and a lingering feeling of being unseen.

​

What I came to realize is that no amount of success, self-awareness, or external validation could replace what I was missing internally:
safety in my body, belief I could experience my desires, and the ability to receive love without losing myself.

​

My world changed when I found Somatica®.

​

Through this work, I began to rebuild my relationship with my body, untangle shame, and understand the patterns that were shaping my experiences in love. I learned how to regulate my nervous system, communicate from a grounded place, and soften without abandoning myself.

​

I didn’t lose my power.

I learned how to hold it differently.

​

Now, I help women do the same.

​

My work is rooted in helping you reconnect to your body, release the patterns that keep you guarded or disconnected, and build a sense of safety, pleasure, and confidence in intimacy, so you can experience the kind of love and connection you actually desire.

​

You don’t have to choose between being powerful and being deeply loved. You get to have both.

My Approach

As a trauma empowered Somatica® trained coach, I incorporate experiential practices that help you move beyond insight and into real, lasting transformation.

Rather than just talking about your patterns, we work directly with what’s happening in your body—so you can safely explore your desires, build emotional awareness, and shift the ways you show up in intimacy and relationships.

​

Together, we focus on helping you:

  • Clarify your core desires and what you truly want to feel in intimacy

  • Reconnect with your body and expand your capacity for pleasure and self-expression

  • Build emotional regulation and nervous system awareness

  • Identify triggers and understand the patterns shaping your relationships

  • Heal inner child wounds that impact how you give and receive love

  • Set and communicate clear, grounded boundaries

  • Navigate conflict, repair, and emotional disappointment with greater ease

  • Release shame and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself

  • Experience deeper, more secure, and more fulfilling intimacy
