Featured Presentation: The Somatic Experience of Birth

I recently partnered with the Central Florida Birth Network to share a presentation on the emotional and somatic experience of birth, including how overwhelm, loss of control, and postpartum adjustment can affect the nervous system.

You’re Not Just Struggling - You’re Stuck in a Pattern That Isn’t Working

You may feel overwhelmed, reactive, disconnected, or not like yourself - and you’re not sure why. Whether you’re navigating relational stress, emotional burnout, or the transitions in life, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I help individuals, parents, and couples understand the emotional and behavioral patterns driving these experiences - so you can respond differently, not just cope.

This May Sound Familiar:

You might be noticing:

  • You feel emotionally overwhelmed or reactive, and you don’t know why.

  • You’re overthinking, shutting down, or stuck in cycles you can’t interrupt.

  • Your relationships feel strained, disconnected, or harder than they should.

  • You are lost in life or uncomfortable with ruminating thoughts, choices, and life’s decisions.

  • You experience the pressure to “hold it together,” but internally, it feels like too much.

  • You're grieving, losing, or struggling with a life transition or situation, and you want to break out of it.

How I Help:

My work focuses on helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface - so your thoughts, emotions, and reactions start to make sense.

Together, we will:

  • Identify the patterns driving your emotional overwhelm

  • Understand your nervous system and stress responses

  • Build practical tools to regulate emotions in real time

  • Strengthen connections in your relationships

  • Create a cleaner, more grounded way forward

A Different Approach to Therapy

Most therapy focuses either on emotions or behavior.

My approach works with both - because the real change requires understanding what’s happening and how it shows up externally.

With a background in behavior analysis and mental health, I help you:

  • Understand how thoughts, emotions, and experiences influence reactions

  • Recognize patterns of the mind and body under stress

  • Identify how those patterns show up in behavior and relationships

  • Actively shift those patterns in a way that feels realistic

My integrative approach blends:

  • Clinical behavior analysis to understand patterns, reinforcement histories, routines, and emotional responding.

  • Perinatal mental health for pregnancy, postpartum, identity shifts, and PMADs.

  • Somatic & Sensory information for trauma, nervous system overwhelm, and neurodivergent experiences

  • Trauma-informed care grounded in compassion, clarity, and sustainable regulation.

  " To speak to someone who truly listens, who understands your heart without judgment - there is no greater gift. And for the first time, I feel as though I am not alone. Meeting you has been like hearing a song I’ve always known but never dared to sing. You have brought me back to life, if only for a moment, and that is enough.” -Dostoevsky
