Hi, I'm Jodi. I'm really glad you're here.
I know that finding the right therapist can be daunting. I help people slow things down enough to help make sense of all the ways your body is signaling to you.
I work from a “roots before waves” approach, meaning that we start by creating your roots, which are a stable base that include understanding the language of emotions, grounding, safety, and connection to yourself.
Then we move together through the waves, and into processing harder things with more control.
Together we can help you feel like yourself, maybe again, and maybe for the first time.
Find alignment within yourself
You might recognize yourself here
You think if you start to feel what is really inside you, you'll never stop.
You wonder, “What’s wrong with me?”
You’re holding it together on the outside, but you're exhausted.
You’ve done therapy before, but something still feels off underneath.
You feel anxious, shut down, or overwhelmed and can't seem to
"get over it".
You understand your patterns, but your life doesn't seem to change.
If this feels familiar, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Reach out when you're ready.
WHY IT WORKS
Finding healing beyond words
Understanding your thoughts and patterns can be really helpful, but it’s not the whole story.
Trauma doesn’t just live in your head; trauma lives in your body.
Part of you might know you’re safe, while another part still feels on edge, shut down, or overwhelmed. Your body is still responding to experiences that are no longer happening.
Together, we can help your body begin to release what it’s been holding, so you can feel more grounded and more like yourself.
