My Background and Approach
Background: BFA Dance, BS Psychology -University of Utah MSW - University of Denver Somatic Experiencing ®(SE®) Practitioner in Training with Somatic Experiencing International My approach uses a variety of techniques and tools that increase balance in your life and allow for both psychological and physical movement of unresolved trauma and stuck patterns. These skills also help you deal with hard emotions, tolerate distress and be effective interpersonally. My sessions always include mindfulness or “orienting” practices, which clients can use outside of sessions to find calm on their own. When we are stressed, we can lose our sense of “embodiment,” or a deep connection to what feels right and good. When doing somatic work, I guide you to ask what your body is feeling and telling you, and help you learn to trust these messages. Finding and using the “felt sense,” will be a part of our sessions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Family time and cat-petting are important tools for me to wind-down. I’m a mother, daughter, sister, and friend.
