You don’t have to keep over-functioning
If you’re here, something in you is ready to stop surviving and start healing
You have likely mastered competence.
You manage.
You perform.
You anticipate.
You hold everything together.
And yet-internally-your nervous system is exhausted.
People rely on you.
Few truly see you.
And setting limits feels harder than it should.
If you are here, you are not looking for surface-level coping strategies.
You are looking for depth. Precision. Real change.
This is not for everyone
Somatic Trauma Therapist | Fawn Trauma Response Specialist and Coach
I work with high-functioning women who are outwardly successful- and privately exhausted
Women who are:
Respected in their careers
The reliable one in relationships
The strong one in their family
The capable one in every room
And quietly are:
Over-functioning
Resentful
Burned out
Afraid to be fully seen
If that’s you, keep reading.
Private Trauma & Somatic Intensives
My work is depth oriented, neuroscience informed, and intetionally limited
I specialize in:
The fawn trauma response
High-achieving people-pleasers
Early attachment trauma
Chronic anxiety rooted in relational stress
Women who cannot stop over-giving
Women with autoimmune disease or chronic pain related to stress and trauma.
Modalities include:
Brainspotting
EMDR
Compassionate Inquiry
Somatic Experiencing
Neurofeedback
This is not talk therapy. This is nervous system-level recalibration.
A different standard of care
Our work is not about “fixing you”.
People-pleasing is often misunderstood as a personality style.
In reality, it is often a trauma-based nervous system adaptation- your nervous system developed to preserve safety and attachment.
Which means:
You cannot out-think it.
You cannot productivity-hack it.
You must work at the level of the nervous system.
That is the level at which I practice.
Why I keep my caseload small
Because depth requires containment.
Because trauma resoultion requires attunement.
Because real transformation cannot be rushed.
I do not work with high volume.
I do not compete on price.
I do not take every inquiry.
I accept a limited number of private pay clients at a time to preserve the quality, intensity, and precision of this work.
The clients i work best with
This work is well suited for you if:
Traditional talk therapy has not resolved deeper patterns
You want clinically sophisticated, trauma-informed treatment
You are ready to invest in lasting change
You value discretion and depth
This is not crisis care or brief coaching.
This is intensive, trauma-informed healing.
I believe in aligned work.

I maintain a focused caseload to ensure depth and clinical precision. Therefore I have limited availability.

A Quiet Truth
Many of the women I work with once believed:
“If I stop over-functioning, everything will fall apart.”
What they discovered instead is something very different.
When the nervous system feels safe,
You no longer need to earn your place in the room.
It makes sense that reaching out might feel unfamiliar.
You are not weak for needing support.
You are not too sensitive.
You are not broken.
You adapted brilliantly.
Now it may be time to adapt in a new direction.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. I specialize in treating the fawn trauma response- a trauma adaptation rooted in early attachment environments where safety required self-abandonment, over-functioning, or emotional caretaking. I have also created a digital course on the topic that you can find here.
My work integrates somatic trauma resolution, attachment repair, and nervous system recalibration. This is not cognitive coping skills therapy. We work with sotred trauma patterns in the body using modalities such a Brainspotting, EMDR, IFS, Compassionate Inquiry, and neurofeedback. I can also offer Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy when appropriate.
Yes. Most of my clients are high-functioning women in leadership roles, healthcare, entrepreneurship, law, or high-responsibility family systems. They appear capable externally but experience chronic anxiety, over-responsibility, or relational burnout internally.
No. I operate as a private-pay practice. This allows greater confidentiality, no required diagnosis, and treatment talilored to root causes rather than symptom billing codes.
This work requires readiness for depth. If you are seeking quick coping tools or validation without change, this will not be aligned. If you are prepared to examine relational patterns, attachment wounds, and nervous system conditioning, we may be a strong fit.
Yes. Private trauma intensives are available for established clients or by application. Intensives are designed for individuals seeking accelerated resolution of specific trauma patterns.
