Nervous system regulation is a common term these days, but what does it mean? I work with individuals who carry the weight of past experiences in how they feel, respond, and move through life. They may struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, numbness, or patterns like people-pleasing and overworking. Some experience trauma responses like panic, dissociation, or feeling stuck, along with physical symptoms like chronic pain or fatigue. My clients are looking for lasting relief from repeating patterns and symptoms that are causing distress and disruption in their lives, or in other words, increased nervous system regulation.
I specialize in Somatic Experiencing, a body-based approach to healing trauma and chronic stress. This gentle method supports the nervous system in releasing stored survival energy, restoring balance, and building resilience - helping you feel more grounded, present, and connected in your daily life.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, tense, or like talk therapy hasn’t fully helped, you’re not alone. Your body carries wisdom—and with gentle, somatic support, recovery is possible. I offer a welcoming space to reconnect with yourself and move toward a greater sense of ease and stability. If this speaks to you, I warmly invite you to reach out.

I use the Somatic Experiencing model to help clients process the residue of trauma and unresolved, stagnant experiences. By understanding and developing a relationship with their nervous system, clients establish regulation and feel more grounded, capable and resilient as they are supported to identify, process and emotionally digest uncomfortable, and often unrelenting, experiences.
