I am an LCPC and RN. My therapy approach focuses on the body. The school of thought I practice from believes that when first faced with an overwhelming event, if unresolved, our body can hold onto the sensations of that initial reaction. A similar threat can recreate those physical sensations. Your body will then influence your emotions and beliefs as if you were back in that original moment. It's those times when your mind is telling you one thing, but your body is telling you something very different; I feel nervous but I don't know why. Somatic techniques can help link these making room for new insights and resolve.
I specialize in overcoming trauma and integrating the mind/body. I define trauma as anything that may be blocking you from living your optimal life. Sometimes these are tragic occurrences, but more often they are events which may seem minor and insignificant. They may be moments which are no longer in your conscious, but your body remembers.
My 30+ years of nursing has given me a large knowledge base of medical and physical conditions. Your beliefs of these conditions can have a significant effect on how you deal with disease and chronic pain. Gaining understanding can positively effect your physical state and increase your tolerances.
