Living with lupus has shaped the way I move through the world—and the way I work with clients.

It changed how I understand time, energy, and capacity, and reshaped my relationship with my body. It taught me that healing isn’t something you force or chase, but something you practice slowly, honestly, and in relationship.

I understand chronic pain, fatigue, and emotional overwhelm—and how deeply they can impact daily life. I also understand what becomes possible when the body is met with consistency, safety, and care over time.

My work is grounded in somatic, trauma-informed healing. I attune closely to what’s happening beneath the surface, often noticing subtle internal shifts before clients can name them themselves—a little more ease, a shorter spiral, a moment of choice. I help translate these experiences into accessible, embodied language so change becomes something clients can recognize, trust, and build upon.

Many clients come to experience my office as a kind of home base. Over time, their bodies learn what it’s like to settle and trust consistency. Safety is built through repetition, consent, clear boundaries, and steady presence.

The clients who tend to thrive in this work value structure and predictability. My work offers a clear container and trajectory that allows the nervous system to rest. Clients don’t need to analyze or track everything; their role is simply to show up. The structure does the work first.

In the beginning, I act as scaffolding—especially for those whose nervous systems never had a reliable sense of safety or secure attachment. As safety takes hold, regulation becomes more accessible, choice becomes embodied, and my role gradually shifts to reflecting what clients are now able to access on their own.

A key part of this work is helping clients recognize their progress. As things begin to feel better, it can be easy to forget how far they’ve come. I help anchor what’s different now, while still honoring what remains tender.

Safety isn’t just about feeling calm. When safety comes online in the body, confidence, agency, and choice follow. Clients learn to trust their bodies as a source of information. Decisions clarify. Boundaries become possible.

Creativity is also central to how I work. With a background in graphic design and fashion, I naturally think in images, metaphors, and patterns—ways of making complex inner experiences tangible. This same care informs how I show up relationally, with warmth, steadiness, and respect for pacing. My own healing journey, including living with lupus, shapes how I listen and support clients through change and grief.

This is relational work that unfolds over time. I work best with clients who sense the way they’ve been living no longer fits and who are ready to commit to a deeper process of healing.

There is nothing wrong with you.

Your patterns make sense in the context of what you’ve lived. When safety, presence, and relationship are in place, meaningful change becomes possible.
