About me
I am a compassionate presence and witness as I travel alongside people on their healing journeys related to trauma, stress, and overwhelm in their personal, family, academic, and professional lives.
I combine nearly 12 years of trauma experience with relational neuroscience using Polyvagal Theory. I prioritize relational safety believe that the first step in creating safety is to understand and respond to your own safety needs and learn how to feel safe in your own body. I have a caring, direct communication style and have been described as skilled at creating space where people feel safe to explore difficult issues. My role is to make space for you to be your most authentic self. I will be present, listen, and support you while being a witness to your journey. Together we will determine the focus of our work, giving attention to things that might get in the way of progress. You will also learn how to settle your body and mind, learn to identify major state shifts, and how you are impacted by them. You will develop the needed resources to explore and identify nervous system patterns and how those patterns determine your reactions. Healing means building neuro-resilience for efficiently reading and responding to the unknown and unanticipated challenges of life.
