I help people get free.
Free from the same arguments, the same disappointments, the same fears, the same frustrations. Free from our reactivity. Free from the loops of feeling hurt, acting out blame, retreating in shame, and collapsing in numbness. Free from feeling stuck.
These symptoms may have been diagnosed as anxiety, depression, PTSD or other labels. Whatever the name, the problem remains: the patterns continue and the solutions don’t work, or only work temporarily.
I’ve been told things would change before, and it hasn’t work or it hasn’t lasted. Why is this different?
Most therapeutic approaches seek to manage symptoms. This is very important and very helpful; I recommend that everyone has a robust set of tools to reduce stress and anxiety. However, soothing the symptoms does not mean resolving the cause.
Somatic healing is different than typical cognitive therapies because the focus is not about reducing symptoms immediately, but reaching and resolving the source of the distress.
I work with people to resolve the cause of their symptoms so they don’t have to manage them forever. That doesn’t mean we’re looking to “understand” or create a narrative about why these symptoms are here. We’re looking to resolve the injury together, in real time, with our work.
Is it possible to see patterns I’ve lived with for years actually change?
Yes. I know it’s possible because I have completed patterns that I thought were permanent parts of me, and have seen my clients do the same.
I have seen the “immovable” be moved, I have seen things that clients have described as “being there forever” complete and not return.
I know that our bodies and minds are deeply resilient and driven to wholeness and wellbeing. When given the chance to naturally recover, human beings have the capacity to resolve even the deepest wounds.
How does somatic healing work?
The most important part of my work is creating trust and safety with clients so that we can approach the most difficult experiences they carry. Once we have a connection, we begin to connect with the unconscious places of pain that are unresolved and calling for attention.
Unconscious resolution must be met through unconscious means. We must access the injury beyond our understanding of what happened into the source of it. This is why somatic work was developed. Somatic healing attends to the unconscious injuries that are revealed through the body, and allows for resolution in the same field.
Human beings have the innate capacity to heal from even the worst traumas. Our work is to create the conditions for those skills to emerge and complete.

Whether or not we work together, thank you for searching for what you want. I have deep respect for anyone taking the courageous path toward liberation.
