An integrative approach to somatic and body-based healing, specializing in trauma recovery, chronic pain relief, and nervous system regulation.
I specialize in supporting clients with nervous system dysregulation resulting from chronic stress, trauma, early attachment ruptures, and chronic illness. I also help individuals deepen their creative and spiritual development as part of their healing process.
My work is grounded in current neuropsychological research and integrates cutting-edge somatic, psychological, social, and spiritual approaches for whole-person transformation.
Since opening my practice in 1995, I’ve been committed to offering clients practical tools and body-based techniques that support resilience, emotional regulation, and a deeper connection to the body. My goal is to empower each person to enhance their well-being, reduce stress, and live with greater clarity and vitality.
I believe every person has the innate capacity to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves.
My work is rooted in the understanding that the body holds deep intelligence and that healing unfolds when we learn to listen to it with care. I offer guidance and support through a holistic approach that integrates somatic psychology, mindfulness, and advanced bodywork techniques.
My focus is on helping clients build resilience, regulate their nervous system, and develop deeper self-awareness. I provide practical tools and embodied resources to support long-term personal growth, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
I facilitate emotional and nervous system regulation through:
- Body-centered healing approaches
- Mindfulness-based awareness practices
- Advanced neurological and somatic bodywork methods
I support clients working through a wide range of concerns, including:
- Embodying emotions and resolving painful cycles of self-judgment, blame, and shame
- Early attachment wounds and developmental trauma that impact adult relationships
- Depression, anxiety, anger, and ADHD
- Dissociative disorders, DID, DPDR
- PTSD and complex trauma (psychological and neurological effects)
- Sexual abuse recovery and boundary repair
- Autoimmune conditions and chronic fatigue
- Chronic pain, myofascial tension, spinal injuries, and post-concussive symptoms
- Life transitions, decision-making, and changes in life path
- Pre/perinatal trauma, shock trauma, and early developmental disruptions
- Neurodiverse learning, cognitive, and behavioral challenges
