Understanding the nervous system’s role in human experience:
safety versus threat, connection versus separation, resilience versus disempowerment.
My approach
I help individuals and families to transform nervous system dysregulation into healthy nervous system regulation. With expressive therapies and somatic practices, we bring about change by safely discovering the somatic stories, and body reactions, found within nervous system patterns. This process explores how we sense, think, feel, believe, express, and imagine with attunement and support.

Expressive Arts (EXA)
Drawing, cutting paper, writing poetry, and land-art are just some of the potential EXA counseling modalities. EXA explores presence, trusting in process, inquiry, receptivity, embodiment, creative and active imagination, perception, personal growth, non-judgement, playfulness, and attention to beauty.

Somatic Experiencing
The SE approach facilitates the completion of self-protective motor responses and the release of thwarted survival energy bound in the body. SE facilitates ongoing cycles of activation and deactivation (expansion and contraction) by gently guiding the nervous system in and out of states of arousal and settling.
