heal your nervous system
somatic therapy for stress, anxiety, & childhood trauma
Chronic anxiety is a nervous system response and a common reaction to unprocessed trauma.
Together, we’ll get curious about what your anxiety may be trying to communicate to you. I’ll help you tune into your body’s cues, get to the root of your distress, and support your system to unearth and process stuck emotional energy. Living in survival mode or fight/flight/freeze is exhausting and negatively impacts not only our quality of life, but our overall health.
But there is hope. Regulation can be cultivated. We are not meant to live in a sustained state of survival and we can guide our nervous systems to find safety and return to regulation. Through our work together, your relationship to anxiety can shift from an overwhelming/debilitating one, to one that informs you of what you need and empowers you to take action. No matter how long you’ve been dealing with this or how bad it’s gotten, you can regain a sense of calm and return to presence. Let’s get to know your nervous system so we can unlock the healing that is waiting for you. Click here to learn more about my approach.
therapy for therapists
Are you a therapist, social worker, teacher, or another kind of helping professional? Many of my clients are, and I love working with others in the healing space. If you are longing to pour into yourself the way you so willingly do for others, I would love to and help you take your healing and inner work to the next level. You don’t have to pour from an empty cup. You are worthy of investing in yourself, and I would love to accompany you.
a different approach for those seeking more out of therapy
Many of my clients come to me after having done years of more traditional forms of therapy. Perhaps you have a good understanding of your experiences and how they have impacted you, have gained helpful insights and are generally very self-aware, but are still longing to FEEL a more profound difference on the inside. If you’ve done a lot of healing, but still feel stuck in certain areas or notice you are still bumping up against internal blocks or distressing emotions, I would love to accompany you in doing the deeper inner work you are ready for. Our work can help you to finally experience the transformation you are longing to feel.
therapy for adults with childhood trauma
Childhood trauma comes in many forms and for many of us is something we don’t fully recognize was a part of our story until well into our adulthood. My clients are adults who are on a journey to understand how early experiences of trauma, loss, neglect, and chaos at home have come to shape their sense of self and how they move through the world. It is powerful to find ourselves in adulthood with the resources available to us that would have made all the difference for our younger selves. I would love to help you unburden the younger parts of you so you can feel empowered to encounter life as the capable, competent adult you have become.
It was when I stopped searching for home within others and lifted the foundations of home within myself i learned there are no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole.
