Stress impacts every part of us. Exposure to toxic stress, without a felt sense of triumph, can create stuck trauma energy. When left unresolved, trauma energy may manifest as health issues, low energy, relationship distress, intrusive thoughts, emotional distress, irritability, mood instability, confusing behaviors, dissociation, poor sleep, malnutrition, chronic pain, low satisfaction with life and loss of self. Together we will explore your personal stress response to effectively identify your needs, improve your stress tolerance and develop resilience.
I approach therapy with compassion and curiosity. My style of therapy is trauma informed somatic psychotherapy. This is a bodymind oriented therapy. I focus on understanding the connections between nervous system regulation, behavioral urges, thought processes, emotional states, sensations and memories. I believe we experience the world through both body and mind therefore we must include both in the healing process. I integrate techniques from multiple somatic, cognitive, behavioral, relational, systemic, and experiential therapeutic modalities.
