Cultivate a Calmer Mind & Body with Somatic Psychotherapy and EMDR

Heal your Nervous System. Transform your life.

Permanent change requires mind and body connection.

Stuck in cycles of overthinking or racing thoughts? Feeling numb or detached? Break free from chronic stress, heal your unresolved trauma, and start thriving by doing the deeper work.

Living in survival mode creates mental, emotional, and physical symptoms that drain your energy and life satisfaction.

My approach will take you beyond traditional talk therapy and address the underlying root issues….suppression of emotions and pain, internal inflammation on a cellular level, and a dysregulated nervous system.

Real healing starts with your nervous system. Feel the difference that lasts.

25+ years experience with advanced training in trauma, somatic EMDR, somatic psychotherapy, and nervous system healing. I meet you where you are and walk beside you at your pace.

Why Focus on the Body?

Holistic healing honors your body’s innate wisdom—the missing piece in traditional therapy.

Your body inherently knows how to heal. Give it a chance to guide your mind toward the freedom you’re seeking.

Your body speaks through sensations to guide you toward truth and regulate your nervous system. Presence brings clarity. Learn the language of the body and unlock potential for lasting results and true healing.
