Healing From, and Healing Toward.

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner

Just in case nobody has ever told youā¦
Youāre not broken.
Maybe this is your first time looking for a therapist, maybe youāve done this before but youāre looking for a different approach. Either way, youāre here because youāre dissatisfied with the way things are but arenāt sure about what to do next.
The individuals who show up in my office arenāt here because they just want somewhere to vent about their week. Theyāre here because they want to experience lasting change in their lives, theyāre hoping for greater connection to themselves and others, and theyāre committed to the process.
My clients come to me looking for someone who can help them make sense of what theyāre going through and who can help them learn more effective ways of dealing with the challenges of their daily life. Weāre not going to spend all of our time talking about what happened in the past, weāre also going to explore, define, and clarify where weāre headed.
But most importantly, youāre going to learn how to tune into and listen to your own wisdom.
How I work
Practice makes progress.
I believe that the ability to thrive is inherent to all of us and that you are much more capable and complex than just the symptoms that brought you here.
My approach to therapy is relational, collaborative, and engaged. Iām not simply curious about what you want to experience less of (i.e., anxiety, depression, conflict), I also hope to discover what you want to see more of (i.e. connection, resilience, purpose, to name a few). Iām especially curious about where and when youāre the most alive version of yourself.
I am dedicated to helping people heal from their past so that they can thrive in their life and relationships. I have extensive post-graduate training in trauma resolution, sex therapy, and the nervous system. But I also know that you arenāt just looking for clinical expertise. Youāre looking for someone who truly gets what itās like to be at the mercy of stress, past hurt and self-doubt, without reliable ways to get yourself back online.
In our sessions weāre going to practice skills that you can take with you to use in the real world. I donāt use secret therapy tricks that will only work in our sessions. I always want you to know why weāre doing what weāre doing and how these practices are relevant.
