My name is Gretchen, and as a certified somatic trauma specialist, I have dedicated my work to helping survivors overcome the complex effects of trauma and abuse. My approach focuses on the deep connection between body and mind, using techniques to release stored trauma, promote healing, and restore a sense of safety and well-being.

As a survivor, I specialize in supporting adults who have experienced childhood trauma or intimate partner abuse and focus on guiding survivors through self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-regulated healing.
