You are infinitely more than your mind, so welcome to healing beyond words. As a Somatic Psychotherapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I apply a body-oriented approach to growth and change. We meet your intuitive knowing and deep curiosity by actively tapping into the connection between mind and body to ease suffering, renegotiate trauma and build resilience. Through safe therapeutic relationship, loving presence, and gentle guidance, together we re-pattern unhelpful imprints through experiences in the present. When we invite all of ourselves to show up and heal in a safe space, our strength and capacity for joy expand.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, lost or empty, we can find your inner wellspring of hope and cultivate your unique strengths, to smooth nervous system reactivity. As a trauma therapist, I pay close attention to safety, welcome all parts of you, and support you to access the full range of your human experience.
Reach out you're wanting to live in a compassionate, truthful, embodied way; without doing more, earning more or having more. Here's your invitation to dive beyond words, with healing that includes all of you - heart, mind, body and soul. I’d love to support you in this powerful, effective, and very gentle way.

My approach is a fluid, responsive blend of Hakomi, Somatic Experiencing, NeuroAffective Touch, and internal parts work. Depending on the person and the day, each session is different. We do talk, and when the situation invites it and with your consent, we use props or gadgets (e.g. cushions or balls), move around, or incorporate touch, to learn about, proces and integrate trauma.
