Somatic Experiencing

This is not a traditional talk therapy session. It is a body based client centered approach. We work together to create a field of non-doing where the body has the space to process, discharge and sort through emotions and feelings, in relation to another nervous system (me). We are relational beings and many of our challenges stem from attachment wounds and interruptions of core needs from our primary care givers in our early development. Thus, where the wound is, also is the healing. We are often wounded by the ‘other,’ yet through the ‘other’ in a safe supportive environment we heal the wound. 

The core of my work is Somatic Experiencing a trauma informed nervous system regulation method developed by Dr. Peter Levine. I’m also inspired by and have trained in Attachment work of Diane Poole Heller and NARM–Neuroaffective Relational Model of Laurence Heller and I have a Masters in Depth Psychology.

I also bring nearly twenty years of working directly with so many amazing human bodies through massage therapy and advanced bodywork modalities, and classical Hatha Yoga. I am not a licensed psychotherapist and depending on your circumstances I may refer you to a licensed clinician. The Depth Psychological lens does not pathologize our symptoms and becomes curious of them as a pathway to our deeper soul work. Healing is often a practice of deeper listening.
