You're functioning. From the outside, things look mostly okay. But inside, you're tired in a way that sleep doesn't touch — bracing for something that may have stopped happening years ago. Maybe you've done talk therapy before and felt like you intellectually understood your story without anything in your body actually changing. Maybe you've never tried therapy because you weren't sure what was happening to you “counted.” Either is welcome here. In practice, my therapy is slower and gentler than people expect. We're not re-living anything. We're teaching your nervous system, in small doses, that calm is also an option.

Body aware therapy for trauma and chronic stress. work with the body and the mind together. That means we'll spend time in conversation - what you want to feel different - and we'll also pay attention to what your body is doing while we talk. The sigh that arrives when something true is said. This is called polyvagal-informed somatic therapy.

Therapy is where you learn the reason to be alert is over. If you've been considering therapy for a while and aren't sure where to start, the simplest first step is a free 15-minute phone consult. No prep, no commitment. Tell me what's happening; I'll tell you whether I think I can help — and if I'm not the right fit, I'll point you toward someone who is.

I treat trauma and PTSD. I also treat chronic stress, burnout, and the kind of anxiety the runs quietly in the background. I treat the long term effects of difficult experiences -childhood, medical, work-related. I also treat adults who have done talk therapy and want something more body aware. I use polyvagal-informed somatic therapy primarily.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Compassion Focused
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Humanistic
Integrative
Motivational Interviewing
Narrative
Prolonged Exposure Therapy
Psychological Testing and Evaluation
Somatic
Strength-Based
Trauma Focused

In addition to somatic treatment, I also use CBT for the thoughts that keep looping. I use DBT skills for tolerating big feelings without shutting down. Motivational Interviewing and Compassion Focused Therapy are utilized when ambivalence or self-criticism is in the way. During therapy, I leverage your vegas nerve to calm your body so you feel better, and so other therapy work can be done.
