I see my job as a therapist as helping people to heal from what has wounded them, build greater resiliency, and thrive within the systems and contexts they live. I am grounded in body-focused and trauma processing approaches, like Somatic Experiencing, but my work is unique and tailored to every person I work with because every person I work with has a unique nervous system which has adapted to their history and context. I am continually astounded at the intelligence of the human body to protect us from danger and its innate drive to heal and restore wellness under the right conditions. My hope is that everyone I work with will come to appreciate their own physiology and psychology, and develop the self-acceptance and self-compassion needed to make a relationship with themselves they never knew possible.
