About My Clients
If you've been fighting yourself for quite some time, it's probably because it’s all you’ve ever known, and it’s not your fault. The medical system has let you down, your family and friends can’t seem to understand, and it feels like physical pain and fatigue have taken away all of your favorite activities. So of course your body is in constant fight or flight - this is a normal, natural response to feeling alone. You’re in survival mode, and it’s time we get you out.
My Background and Approach
I work from a mind-body framework called Somatic Experiencing. Together, we help your nervous system learn how to trust the world around you and within you. We work on reducing and extinguishing trauma responses, such as body-checking, obsessive thoughts, fatigue caused by depression, flashbacks, and other hypervigilant responses. We also work on cultivating deeper, better relationships with your friends and family, learning to advocate for yourself with your doctors and employers, and most importantly - we help you start feeling like YOU again.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
While chronic illnesses might be incurable, you absolutely can live a life full of meaning and purpose despite persistent pain. Healing relationships is at the cornerstone of my work, because without people to rely on and experience joy with, life gets pretty messy really quickly. I take a functional and holistic approach with clients, meaning we take a look at all aspects of your life to figure out what's going to get you results the quickest. Healing takes time, but alleviating suffering happens quickly.
