BOOK A CONSULTATION

Offering in-person somatic therapy in Westport, Connecticut + virtual sessions for Connecticut and New York adults.

I specialize in somatic therapy and anxiety therapy for adults in Connecticut and New York who want a deeper body-based therapy experience beyond traditional talk therapy.

My approach blends a spiritual foundation with somatic exercises, nervous system regulation, family systems theory, and trauma-informed, depth-oriented work to help you shift long-standing patterns at the root.

Who I Work With

If we’re an ideal fit for each other, here is what I know about you:

✓ You want more than talk therapy. You’re seeking a therapist who can help you work with the body, the subconscious, your relational patterns, and your soul.

✓ You’re ready to break free from the patterns that have kept you in burnout, over-responsibility, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself.


✓ You’re a naturally hard worker with a busy mind. Slowing down can feel like a growth edge for you. You’re seeking a skilled therapist who can help you slow down and embrace a steady process of sustainable healing.

Many of my Connecticut and New York clients come to me for holistic therapy because they are high-functioning on the outside yet anxious, stressed, or emotionally activated on the inside.

Somatic & Trauma Therapy for Connecticut Adults Feeling Stuck, Overwhelmed, or Disconnected

What Holistic & Somatic Therapy Can Help You Heal:

  • Anxiety stored in the body — including chronic worry, stress, and patterns often addressed in anxiety therapy

  • Attachment wounds, relational patterns, and early emotional injuries often explored in attachment therapy

  • People-pleasing, over-responsibility, emotional caretaking

  • Childhood emotional neglect or parentification

  • Trauma responses: freeze, fight, fawn, shutdown

  • Burnout, overwhelm, and high-functioning anxiety that often bring adults to therapy in Connecticut

  • Difficulty expressing needs or setting boundaries

I specialize in supporting adults in Connecticut and New York who are navigating anxiety, trauma, attachment wounds, people-pleasing patterns, and chronic stress — especially those who have tried traditional talk therapy and need a deeper, body-based approach.

COMMON THEMES I SUPPORT CLIENTS WITH:

  • Balancing and calming the nervous system through somatic therapy and body-based regulation

  • Creating a felt sense of inner safety, security, and grounding

  • Strengthening self-trust so you can make clear, aligned decisions

  • Responding to triggers with less reactivity, blame, and defensiveness—and more neutrality, compassion, and presence

  • Healing relational patterns and navigating “growth edges” with more confidence

  • Feeling more present, peaceful, and alive in your body and in your daily life

  • Healing from the impact of being an adult child of a narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, or emotionally unstable parent

  • Releasing patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, hyper-independence, performance anxiety, and fear of failure

  • Processing emotions somatically instead of shutting down, spiraling, or disconnecting from your body

FAQ: Somatic & Holistic Therapy in Connecticut (and New York Telehealth)

My approach blends somatic therapy, trauma therapy, anxiety therapy, and holistic mind-body practices to support deeper emotional healing. I work with adults throughout Connecticut and New York who want to regulate their nervous system, heal attachment wounds, and shift lifelong relational patterns.

  • Somatic therapy works directly with your nervous system, your body’s stored experiences, and the subconscious patterns that talk therapy often cannot reach on its own.

    Instead of only talking about what’s happening, we explore how your body has learned to protect you — through tension, shutdown, overthinking, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm — and gently create new patterns of inner safety, groundedness, and self-trust.

    It’s a deeper, more embodied approach designed for people who feel like “talk therapy helped, but not enough.”

  • My work is especially supportive for adults who are:

    • Seeply feeling, sensitive, or intuitive

    • Ambitious and hard-working yet overwhelmed or burned out

    • Navigating anxiety, trauma, or high-functioning stress

    • Stuck in people-pleasing, over-responsibility, or difficulty with boundaries

    • Wanting a more spiritual, holistic, or body-based approach to healing

    If you’ve tried traditional therapy but still feel disconnected from yourself, this work could be a great fit.

  • Yes. I offer:

    • In-person therapy in Westport, Connecticut

    • Virtual telehealth therapy to residents of Connecticut and New York

    Telehealth sessions include the same nervous system, somatic, and relational work as in-person sessions.

  • Somatic therapy is evidence-informed and especially effective for:

    • Anxiety stored in the body (tightness, knots, looping thoughts)

    • Trauma responses (freeze, fawn, shutdown, fight, flight)

    • Attachment wounds and relationship patterns

    • People-pleasing and emotional caretaking

    • Chronic stress + high-achiever burnout

    • Difficulty expressing needs or setting boundaries

    • Childhood emotional neglect or parentification

    If your body feels tense, guarded, overwhelmed, or “always on,” somatic therapy can help you unwind the root patterns driving those experiences.

  • Each session is a unique blend of:

    • Nervous system regulation

    • Somatic exercises

    • Subconscious mind + parts work

    • Relational repair and boundary work

    • Spiritual psychology tools (when aligned)

    Sessions are slow, grounding, and deeply supportive — designed to help you feel safer in your body and more connected to your true nature.

  • Most clients begin to experience noticeable relief and inner shifts within the first month.

    On average, clients work with me for 3–10 months, depending on:

    • The patterns you are healing

    • The level of support you desire

    • Whether you move into deeper somatic repatterning

    Many clients choose to continue long-term because the work expands their emotional capacity, boundaries, relationships, and inner peace.

  • If you’re craving a therapist who is deep, intuitive, trauma-informed, spiritual, and somatically trained — someone who doesn’t rush the process or stay on the surface — you will likely feel at home here.

    The best way to sense our fit is to schedule a free consultation, where you can ask anything and feel into whether the space feels safe and supportive.

  • Yes. I am licensed in both Connecticut and New York, and offer virtual telehealth therapy to adults living anywhere in these states.

  • My rate is $225 for a 60-minute session.

    If you’re looking for deep, sustainable transformation — not quick fixes — this work supports meaningful shifts in your body, mind, boundaries, and relationships.

  • I do not accept insurance, but I can provide superbills for clients who want to submit claims for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
