My Approach

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, NARM Master Therapist, and Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist. I also offer climate-aware therapy, grief work, and psychedelic integration.

How We Work

Along with conversation, we also use mindfulness to pay attention to what is happening in your body-sensations, emotions, posture, impulses, images and memories.

Somatic therapy helps resolve how trauma and stress are held in the nervous system. Current research shows that using mindfulness is especially beneficial when working with difficult emotions to create new neural pathways for experiencing more positive emotions. By slowing down and working at your pace, your system can begin to settle and restore balance-supporting real, lasting healing.
