Restoring Serenity: A Heart's Refuge, LLC

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck—disconnected from yourself or others, unsure how to move forward. Maybe past experiences are still living in your body, showing up as panic, numbness, or self-doubt. You want to feel safe, grounded, and more like you. You want to heal old wounds, strengthen your sense of self, and feel ease in your relationships. You don’t need to do it alone. I offer a warm, steady presence and an approach that gently supports deep, lasting healing—at your pace, in your way. I help my clients heal from trauma, anxiety, and depression using a gentle, somatic approach rooted in Polyvagal Theory, IFS, and EMDR. I offer a safe space to explore what’s been overwhelming, reconnect with your body’s wisdom, and build lasting resilience—so you can feel more grounded, whole, and at peace. Healing is possible, even if it hasn’t felt that way for a long time. You deserve support that honors your story, your pace, and your strengths. If you’re ready to begin this work, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
