I work with high-potential, creative and sensitive beings, who may feel stuck and burned out. I've discovered personally how somatic therapy revitalizes the organism and resolves psychological and health issues at the source. In particular it can shift anxiety, chronic pain, depression, loneliness, and imposter syndrome. It works to restore the nervous system to a state of healthy regulation, energy, flow and feeling at home in your body. This provides a foundation of authentic self-esteem that becomes the basis for a meaningful career and a network of healthy relationships—a life that feels great on the inside.

The core of my work uses Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-oriented approach grounded in neuroscience and trauma-informed research. It works to discharge bound survival energy, disrupt tension patterns, and reset the nervous system. Somatic therapy pairs extremely well with psychedelic work and mindfulness to accelerate the process of healing.

I have trained personally with Bessel van der Kolk (Body Keeps the Score), Richard Schwartz (IFS), Peter Levine (SE), and Thomas Hübl. If you'd like to learn more about my approach and why it can be more effective than regular talk therapy, schedule a free consultation. I look forward to meeting you. I believe everyone can heal and thrive.

Somatic therapy works from the position that the body keeps the score. Like thinking, talking can circle endlessly without shifting underlying patterns. Somatic Therapy slows things down and surfaces information that the deeper nervous system is trying to communicate. I usually provide a mix of both talk and somatic therapy and find that they complement and support each other.

I find the combination of Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing to be highly effective. IFS provides the structure and map which helps us to keep track of where we are in the psyche-protector or core? Somatic Experiencing then provides energetic and transformational shifts in the nervous system, say from hypervigilance to relaxed alertness.
