    About

    After years of training and experience, I have developed a unique treatment approach using a combination of psychotherapy, NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Experiencing touch therapy, attachment-focused EMDR, and grief work, together with spiritual and intuitive resources. This blended approach supports nervous system regulation, healing, and reconnection to self. Through this process, your body is better able to organize, "digest" and settle, which often leads to a felt sense of safety and healing. When the nervous system senses safety, it relaxes and moves out of survival mode. During this process, the system will release trapped energy, emotions, and memories. By creating energetic space, the body can do what it is designed to do, heal. Sessions are dynamic and often bring relief. I work with individuals who are healing from chronic stress, anxiety, depression, developmental trauma, childhood abuse, shock trauma, and unresolved grief. I also work with many physicians and clinicians who are on their healing journey.
