Somatic Behavioral Therapist

For the woman who’s outgrown surface-level healing and is ready to embody her next evolution.

I know what it’s like to have big goals…
yet feel like the fire inside you is barely flickering.
To be surrounded by people, yet feel disconnected.
To spend years in talk therapy, yet still unable to scratch beneath the surface.

I was stuck in the “shoulds.”
What a professional was supposed to look like.
What a successful life was supposed to feel like.
But behind the polished exterior, I felt hollow - disconnected from myself, my heart, my intuition.

It wasn’t until I invested in somatic support that everything shifted.
I stopped going through the motions, and started feeling the momentum.
I traded autopilot, surface-level connection, and mental exhaustion for a life rooted in clarity, purpose, and steady, grounded joy.

The fire was stoked. And I’m not the only one.

Through Somatic Behavioral Embodiment, I’ve helped hundreds of women (& men!) move through the internal stagnation that was holding them back, so they could finally feel what it’s like to live from ease, clarity, pleasure, and powerful self-leadership.

Because life is too short to feel numb, disconnected, or like you're just “managing.”
You were made to feel fully, authentically alive.

This is therapy where depth and excellence unite.

My approach is different - a blended, and proven method:

  • Less thinking and talking, more feeling and being.
    95% of your behavior is dictated by subconscious beliefs, which is why we work beneath the layers-guiding you to meet all parts of yourself (including ones you may not even be aware of) through the tools of Somatic Experiencing & Integrative Parts Work (IFS).
    We create deep, body-based shifts that talk therapy alone can’t reach.

  • This isn’t just insight. It’s action.
    With a background in behavior, I help you translate internal awareness into clear, aligned steps forward - so the shifts you feel, turn into momentum you can see.
    No more wondering, “but what do I do next?” We map that out together.

  • Rooted in intuition. Backed by science.
    90% of your daily decisions derive from intuitive judgment. If that inner guidance system is fogged by doubt, perfectionism, or over-analysis, you’ll keep second-guessing yourself, no matter how smart or successful you are. That’s why my method centers on self-trust, intuitive clarity, and nervous system regulation.
    Because strong self-leadership isn’t about more control. It’s about deeper connection with yourself.

When you go through my process and learn my tools, you stop talking about your dreams, goals, desires, and you start living them, out loud:

 

“I’m my most grounded self. It doesn't really matter what comes my way. Rather than feeling overwhelmed and like I am floating away into the universe until the dust settles, I go through the challenge very much rooted with both my feet on the ground and connected to myself. It is as if I finally have my own back.
Like I am here with myself for anything that comes up, rather than running away.”

— Amit, 1:1 Client

 

What I don’t believe in

& the high standard I hold, in service to your growth:

  • Spoon-feeding you answers.
    I’m here to empower you to make decisions for yourself, because you don’t need another co-dependent, surface-level relationship that avoids the truth. You deserve a space that holds a mirror to the parts of you that are asking to be seen.
    I want you to trust yourself, even more than you trust me.

  • Settling for the status quo.
    You’re not here to play small.
    You’re here to be ignited, not stuck on autopilot.
    You deserve a life that blows your own mind - one that’s beyond what you thought possible and feels both grounded and free.
    Not just doing. Not just being. But both.

  • Fluff, silent head nods, skimming the surface
    This work goes deeper.
    Past the venting, the looping thoughts, the stories that keep you stuck.
    We go to the root so you can rise.
    This isn’t insurance-funded therapy. This is radical, high-level support.
    This is a relationship I deeply value, and I am in it with you.

I’m not here to heal you.
I’m here to help you become more of you.

 

I’m currently located in Wilmington, North Carolina, and see clients both virtually and in-person.
