I see our work together as an open, changing, and dynamic process that presents many different paths towards healing. With a curious and flexible mindset we allow for your unique experience to guide our work as it unfolds in real time.

The mind-body split is alive and well in our dominant culture. In order to work effectively with unresolved trauma, grief, relational and early childhood wounding we must bridge the gap by re-learning our first language- the language of the body-sensations, feelings, emotions, and movement.

Most of my education has been focused on understanding the neurobiology of trauma with extensive training in how to help clients heal trauma in their bodies. I believe we all carry unresolved trauma in our body memory, whether carried from our family line, early childhood experiences, or singular events, that continues to play out in our present life. For some the impact is clear, for others not so much. Working with trauma is a delicate dance, it responds to some modalities better than others. Working with a trauma-informed professional is essential when embarking on a journey of recovery.

You are the expert of you. Client-centered means your personal experiences, emotions, hopes, and desires drive the change process. I am here to listen, to support, to guide, and to help you tap into the innate wisdom found within you. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs and intentions, empowering you to connect with your authentic self, reclaim your sense of agency, and nurture lasting change.

Another area of focus and training has been on attachment theory, early childhood development, and the lasting effects of complex trauma. We all want to be seen, heard, and understood from childhood onward. Unfortunately, many carry burdens from unmet needs or harmful experiences, leading to anxiety, insecurity, and doubt, which complicates relationships. I focus on building trust, understanding attachment styles, and providing guidance for effective communication and healthy boundaries so you can cultivate healthier relationships with yourself and the people you care about.

Our bodies have different responses to stress and safety, influenced by the vagus nerve, which is a major nerve connecting the brain to the body. Central to our work will be helping you understand how you react to stressful situations, emotional overwhelm, and triggering memories, and learn techniques to help regulate those emotions and responses, ultimately aiming to improve mental health and emotional well-being.

By fostering self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a growth-oriented perspective, resilience-based coaching will help you overcome adversity while simultaneously transforming aspects of that adversity. Together we will build your resilience toolkit by teaching you how to appraise your strengths and stress responses, apply somatic strategies to regulate activation, increase choice points, and build your internal compass to guide your transformation process.
