Welcome!

You may have experienced a horrible “shock trauma” such as a sudden death or one time abuse, you may have multiple small events and hurts that have piled up to create complex trauma, or you may have a combination of the two. Whatever your experience, I have worked with clients on processing and healing from these traumatic events. To do so, I use Somatic and Lifespan Integration therapy to provide a holistic, mind-body healing approach. You can read more about these therapeutic approaches in my blog.

Everyone experiences anxiety throughout their lifetime. Many people experience anxiety more often than not and it can be crippling with the intrusive thoughts and physical symptoms. I work with clients using Mindfulness and Somatic therapies. These interventions can help provide client’s with practical coping skills as well as deeper healing and regulation of the nervous system to reduce overall anxiety.

This work is important for a variety of people. You may be committed to remaining in your religion and faith tradition but still need to process harm that has occurred within the context of that religion. You may be wanting and planning to leave your religious community but are struggling with fear and guilt over the decision. You may have already left your religious community and need to process the harm and trauma of the past. I use my history and upbringing in the religious community as well as knowledge of trauma to help clients process and heal from these experiences.

Often we are living disconnected from our bodies. This can be caused by traumatic experiences, feeling overwhelmed by stress or emotions, or distrust of the body. Using somatic work, mindfulness, and embodiment practices, I help clients to reconnect with or engage with their bodies in a meaningful way for the first time. Creating a safe space, fostering connection and understanding, and promoting mental, emotional, and even physical healing.
