My Approach to Helping
Relating with people and witnessing growth is what I love most. It is my honor to support you when you’re feeling stressed out, anxious, invisible or depleted. I hold a somatic (body-based) perspective that is empathetic, patient and curious. I am receptive to that which naturally emerges through thoughts, emotions, sensations, images and memories in each session. I approach personal narratives with openness & compassion.
Physical and emotional pain is often related to our most difficult life experiences. Being a somatic practitioner means that in our sessions, pacing is important and attunement to body language is key. Understanding our somatic responses to stressors is essential to health.
My work integrates Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems with trauma-informed care.
