I provide in person sessions as well as telehealth online sessions.
I utilize Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, movement, play, imagery and authentic relating to give people an inner and outer container for healing at many levels including emotionally, mentally, physically. socially and spiritually.
You may choose deep relaxation and a nervous system reset during one session, and want to dive deeply to release patterns of emotional or physical stress in another session, or to do expansion work to allow yourself to step into a vaster experience of yourself and of life.
Somatic Experiencing and/or Brainspotting can be utilized on it's own or woven into movement, play and dialogue which allows the system/being to reorganize adaptive physical and emotional patterns and restore natural health and resilience.
This work can facilitate: a deeper relationship with yourself, a calm mind, acceptance of you are as a human being and how you are put together, gently releasing stored emotion and patterns of tension, recognizing yourself as an eternal being, processing loss/grief, helping young adults find meaning in their lives, assisting folks at the end of life to help them make peace with the dying process.
I assist in all levels of the Somatic Experiencing training, and offer personal sessions to students at the Beginning and Intermediate level.
Somatic Experiencing is a potent psychobiological method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. It has the capacity to reset the nervous system, restore inner balance, enhance resilience to stress, and increase people’s vitality, equanimity, and capacity to actively engage in life.
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms.
I am a somatic nervous system/stress reduction therapist not a psychotherapist. I work with most types of stress and trauma symptoms, but I do not work with certain mental health diagnosis.
