IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS OF WHAT I OFFER: If you have Complex Trauma (when acute trauma has been pervasive, throughout the lifespan in different ways, especially throughout all of childhood), or diagnoses that benefit from specialized support (such as a personality disorders or Major Depression), I require you to be working with a primary therapist to process past issues and to support you in the present to engage in Somatic Experiencing® Touch Work with me. If you have engaged in therapeutic and/or psychiatric support in the past and these issues are effectively managed and not actively affecting your daily life, please fill out my new client questionnaire, and let's have a consultation to see if Somatic Experiencing® Touch Work is right for you. If you are supported by a primary therapist and would like to add Somatic Experiencing® Touch Work to augment your therapy, you can fill out my new client questionnaire, and then we can have a video consult to see if it makes sense to move forward. Then, with your consent, I can consult with your therapist, to hear their perspective on how Somatic Experiencing® Touch Work may fit into your support system.

Somatic Experiencing® Touch Work offers a gentle, clothed approach to resolving attachment trauma, stress, and overwhelm stored in the body. Using light, supportive contact, this work helps the nervous system feel safe enough to release long-held energy and restore balance.

Rooted in consent, you set boundaries and guide the process.

Unlike massage, it meets the nervous system where it is, fostering co-regulation, calm, and resilience. We check-in at the beginning and at the end of each session to explore where you're at and your needs and boundaries, and then to integrate the work.Clients often leave sessions feeling safer, more grounded, and more at home in themselves.

Somatic Experiencing ®

Somatic (Body) Psychotherapy treats the whole person, integrating body, mind, emotions, and spirit, enabling you to do deeper more meaningful work in less time with more lasting results. I work with the breath, movement, inner body sensations/awareness, and access the right-brain through symbolism, intuition, & imagery. Somatic Experiencing® teaches you to track and attune to your nervous system to regulate, release trauma, empower and protect, and attend to needs and nervous system states effectively. I am a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner.

Hakomi

Hakomi is grounded in five principles: mindfulness, nonviolence, organicity, unity and body-mind holism. We support defenses that may arise and see them as important protectors, trust and follow what is arising in your mind/body/spirit with no agenda, and explore what arises using experiments that offer real change experiences in the present moment.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness invites us to focus on sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to notice the signals of the body, mind, and emotions. This helps create space from habitual patterns so we can feel choice, freedom, and empowerment. Mindfulness also can provide relaxation and stress reduction.

Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic model that views the mind as comprised of various "parts" or sub-personalities, each with unique roles and intentions. IFS therapy helps individuals understand and work with these parts to heal past wounds and achieve inner harmony. Instead of trying to eliminate or suppress parts, IFS emphasizes befriending and understanding them, ultimately leading to greater self-leadership and integration.
