About
I am an integrative Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with an M.A. in Clinical Psychology, bringing together body-oriented trauma healing, cognitive insight, mindfulness, and depth-informed perspectives. My work is grounded in the understanding that trauma and stress are not held only in the mind, but also in the body, nervous system, and relational patterns that shape how we move through the world. I support clients in developing greater regulation, self-awareness, and choice by helping them listen to the body with curiosity and respect. Rather than focusing only on coping or symptom management, I am interested in supporting deeper shifts in the patterns that keep us organized around survival. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate somatic awareness with reflection, resourcing, and nervous system education to help clients build capacity, reconnect with themselves, and move toward a more grounded and authentic life.
What to Expect
Somatic Experiencing is a body-awareness approach to trauma, developed by Dr. Peter Levine.
According to the Foundation for Human Enrichment (www.traumahealing.com), Somatic Experiencing is "based upon the realization that human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma" and "restores self-regulation, and returns a sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness to traumatized individuals who have had these precious gifts taken away."
This work has been applied to combat veterans, rape survivors, Holocaust survivors, auto accident and post surgical trauma, chronic pain sufferers, and even to infants after suffering traumatic births.
