Sound familiar?

You've been to therapy before. You know your patterns. You've read the books, tried the tools, done the work.

And you're still:

Running on empty, even when things look fine from the outside
Hard on yourself, no matter how much you accomplish
Feeling disconnected from yourself and your body
Managing a chronic illness while trying to keep everything else together
Taking care of everyone except yourself
Stuck, even though you understand why

You don't need more insight. You need a different kind of space.

Maybe you’re…

You work hard and push yourself to succeed, but inside you feel tired, stressed, and stuck. Perfectionism and overwhelm keep you from feeling peace or balance. You want to break free from burnout, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that feels meaningful and manageable.

You’re a helping professional (therapist, nurse, teacher, etc.) who spends each day caring for others but often forgets to care for yourself. Giving so much can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and stressed. You want to restore balance, protect your energy, and heal so you can keep supporting others without running yourself down.
You feel everything deeply - other people’s emotions, energy, and stress can overwhelm you. It’s exhausting to carry so much, and often you feel misunderstood or unseen. You want to learn how to protect your energy, feel grounded, and live fully without being drained by the world around you.

You carry a silent grief that others don’t always see or understand. The pain of loss feels heavy and isolating, and fear or shame may make healing feel challenging. You want gentle support to process your loss, release the pain, and find hope for your healing and future.
Your body has changed, and so has everything you thought you knew about yourself. The diagnosis may have brought relief and grief at the same time, and now you're figuring out who you are in this new reality. The uncertainty is exhausting, and it's hard to explain to people who haven't lived it. You want support to process the emotional weight of it all, reconnect with your body with compassion, and find a way forward that feels grounded and hopeful.

Hi, I’m Deanna.

I work a little differently. My approach is relational and somatic, which means we're not just talking about what's going on. We're paying attention to what your body already knows.

In session, we slow down. We notice what's happening in real time, a shift in your breath, a change in your posture, a pause before you speak, and we follow that together instead of rushing past it. I hold deep space for whatever comes up, including grief and the emotions that don't have easy words yet.

I'm gentle and supportive, but I still show up as your guide. I believe you're the expert of your own life. My job is to help you trust yourself again, so healing comes from the inside out.
