My clients come to me seeking relief from fight-or-flight or dissociated/disconnected states. Somewhere along the way, their adverse childhood experiences, or family conflicts (CPTSD) have impacted their nervous system or health so much that they no longer know who they are or how to cope in the world. They desire tools that free them from overwhelm, anger issues, sleeplessness, low self-esteem, emotional eating, hypervigilance, perfectionism, anxiety & relationship difficulties interfering with daily functioning or their ability to experience joy. They are the scapegoats & the cycle breakers looking to do things differently.
My training in Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and other trauma interventions fill my toolbox for improved nervous system regulation. I invite clients into a safe space to explore their past trauma & process their emotional experiences. Together we build self-empowering skills that lead toward more resiliency & self-worth.
For those embarking on a healing journey from relational or parental narcissism/neglect/abuse/addiction and/or are recovering from high-control religion, I see you. You deserved so much more. I work to help you discover who you are beneath all the defense mechanisms you learned while in survival, which once kept you safe but no longer serve you.

I work with clients who are stuck in fight/flight or freeze/fawn. They struggle against their own defense mechanisms built over time to cope with abusive or neglectful treatment by their families or partners. I work directly with the nervous system to rediscover its natural oscillation between the various states, helping clients get "unstuck" so they can lead fulfilling lives.

The science is undeniable: Trauma lives in the body. As such, my work relies on somatic and mindfulness techniques to help clients process difficult emotions tied to traumatic experiences that are impacting their lives in the here and now. Helping the body organically find safety thru increased nervous system regulation improves relationships, emotional regulation & self-acceptance.
