Specific Populations I Work With: Individuals with Chronic Pain: I work with clients navigating chronic pain conditions, helping them understand the connection between their mind, body, and nervous system. Together, we explore how trauma, stress, and past experiences can manifest as physical symptoms, and we create pathways for healing. Adults and Children with Trauma: I support individuals of all ages who are struggling with trauma-related symptoms, including those with complex or developmental trauma. Using a combination of trauma-informed therapies and Polyvagal Theory, I help clients reclaim safety, regulate their nervous systems, and restore a sense of agency in their lives. People with Chronic Illnesses: Whether dealing with autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, or other long-term conditions, I work with individuals who are living with chronic illness to help them manage stress, reduce flare-ups, and find new strategies for coping and healing. Individuals with Anxiety and Depression: If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or persistent sadness, I can help. My approach integrates mind-body therapies to address the root causes of these feelings, working with your nervous system to create balance and a sense of calm. People Seeking Stress Reduction and Self-Regulation: Clients who feel burned out, overwhelmed, or caught in a cycle of stress can find relief in our work together. I use somatic techniques and Polyvagal-informed therapy to help you develop the tools for self-regulation and emotional resilience. Individuals Seeking Mind-Body Connection: For clients interested in exploring the connection between their body, mind, and nervous system, I offer a safe space to uncover how emotional and physical experiences are intertwined and provide strategies for healing through body-based therapies. Clients with Sleep Difficulties: Many of my clients struggle with sleep disturbances due to stress, trauma, or chronic illness. Through somatic approaches and nervous system regulation, I help clients reclaim restful, restorative sleep. Those Interested in Somatic Therapy and Polyvagal Theory: If you’re looking for a therapeutic approach that works with your body’s wisdom, I offer somatic therapy that is informed by the Polyvagal Theory. This method helps you understand and regulate your nervous system to achieve long-term healing and well-being.
