Many conventional methods and approaches promise fulfillment by focusing on what’s lacking and suggesting external changes. That’s not what I do. 

My approach is simple – body, heart, mind, and nervous system in harmony.

In Somatic Unfolding, together we bolster the capacity for you to develop your inner resources of wisdom, intuition, and creativity to help facilitate unfolding in your health, relationships, career, and overall well-being for a more meaningful and resilient life.

My work is trauma-informed and deeply relational. I see each human as a unique and complex being. Each of us has our own lived experiences and unique ways that our bodies store and process them. We all share the same longing to heal and feel at home in our bodies. That longing is to be heard, seen, and understood. The longing to feel safe, to belong.

While understanding and intellectual insight can be very supportive, it is a felt sense of safety that illuminates the process of healing. That felt sense of safety is experienced within a regulated nervous system. This is where I come in, to co-regulate and to guide your nervous system back to the felt sense of safety it desires to thrive in. This process takes willingness and commitment as well as courage to face your shadows.

I am not here to heal you, fix you, or give you answers, all the resourcing is already within you.

And that is your power!

My responsibility is to create a holding space for you to recognize that power within.  I am here to support you, hold you, and guide you back into the wisdom of your own body. With this work, you can become your most authentic self, settled in your being and standing in your truth with dignity and resolve.

When we work together whether in a group or a private setting, the intention is to cultivate a balanced unity within the complex webbing of the body and the nervous system. Everything is intelligently connected, our nervous system, our consciousness, the body, and the mind.

I guide my clients into mind-body relationship through the integration and wisdom of several somatic methods and mindfulness-based practices. By utilizing these powerful practices, we can access the resources within for healing, reshaping ourselves, and living flourishing lives.

Somatic Parts Work (IFS informed)

*Somatic Experiencing®. SE™ is a body-oriented therapeutic model developed by Peter Levine, Ph.D. It is designed to heal trauma and other stress disorders by resetting the nervous system, restoring inner balance, and enhancing resilience to stress which helps facilitate one’s vitality and capacity to actively engage in life. With more than 45 years of successful clinical application, SE has been widely integrated into psychotherapy, coaching, bodywork, and other healing modalities.

*Somatic Parts Work. Parts Work is a way of thinking that has roots in many schools of thought: Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Voice Dialogue, and even Jungian Archetypal work. It is a therapeutic lens that assumes that each of us has many different parts to our minds and psyches (ego formations). The theory attends to the conflicts between parts that when left unresolved can sabotage our efforts toward healing. By promoting internal connection and understanding, parts work can facilitate self-compassion, reduce inner conflict, and elevate relationships and overall psychological well-being as we move through our days encountering different situations, triggers, and scenarios.

*Polyvagal Theory (PVT). Developed by neuroscientist Stephen Porges, Ph.D., PVT focuses on what is happening in the body and the nervous system, and explains how our sense of safety, danger, or life threat can impact our behavior. Polyvagal Theory in practice helps increase one’s capacity for healing by retuning the nervous system for an embodied sense of safety and connection, which in turn allows one to be more regulated and resilient to life’s challenges. It teaches you how to map your nervous system in support of self-regulation and adaptation.

*Positive Psychology is founded on the belief that people want more than an end to suffering. People want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play. It is a branch of psychology focused on the character strengths and behaviors that allow individuals to build a life of meaning and purpose—to move beyond surviving to thriving.
