How I work

You don’t need to be “fixed.” You need the right kind of support: safe, steady, and effective. Through somatic work, we work gently with your nervous system to release stress, unwind anxiety, and build emotional resilience. Together, we create space for ease, confidence, and steady growth that feels grounded, not overwhelming.

Whether you’re learning to regulate your nervous system, hold both joy and discomfort, or reconnect with your full self, my process helps you move forward at a pace your system can trust.

You already have the capacity for safety, connection, and ease, we’re simply creating the conditions for it to emerge. Using tools like Somatic Experiencing®, parts work, visualization, and nervous system regulation, we help you feel more grounded, resilient, and at home in your body. The work is gentle, but the shifts can be profound.

All sessions are held online, so you can work with me from the comfort of your own space, wherever you are.

WHAT MIGHT a session WITH ME LOOK LIKE?

1.       Stabilize

We begin each session by helping you ground in a sense of safety and steadiness within yourself. Using simple, reliable practices like breath, tracking, or resourcing, we strengthen your connection to your body and nervous system. This creates a foundation you can always return to—a safe, calm place inside yourself that supports clarity and resilience.

“Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.”

With this inner stability in place, you gain more choice, clarity, and capacity—a steady base from which deeper shifts can naturally emerge.

2.       CONTAIN

Once regulation is in place, we gently explore what’s beneath the surface: fear, shame, stuck beliefs, or emotions that feel too big to hold alone. Using somatic parts work, visualization, and inquiry, we create space for those parts to be seen and met with compassion, never pushed.

You don’t need to force anything. The work unfolds at the pace your system can handle.

“Contained safely, intensity can unfurl into vitality and freedom.”

3.       Integrate

As insights or shifts arise, we pause to feel and settle them. This might look like noticing sensations, naming what’s changed, or simply breathing with what’s true. Integration helps your system absorb the work fully, building trust in your own resilience.

Healing isn’t just about insight, it’s about what lands in the body.

“The pause is where change becomes real.”

4.       Expand

From this grounded place, we explore how to apply your growing capacity to life. This might include setting boundaries, speaking your truth, reconnecting with pleasure, or taking aligned action. You’ll leave sessions feeling resourced, clear, and more connected to who you truly are.

“With roots deep, the branches can reach wide”

My Mission

I’m here to help you access more peace, vitality, and connection not by pushing, but by creating space for your system to shift naturally. I believe in honoring your pace, your wisdom, and your nervous system’s intelligence.

Even on hard days, we can find small moments of calm, courage, and ease and those moments add up.

FAQs

  • Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is the main modality I use in sessions. It involves guided somatic tracking, where we gently pay attention to your body’s sensations in a supported, intentional way. We also use tools to help regulate your nervous system and begin to separate the sense of threat from certain triggers like memories, sensations, or images.

    Over time, you’ll build the ability to stay present during uncomfortable or emotionally charged moments. Life often starts to feel more manageable because your system can move through challenges more smoothly and really take in the good when it happens.

  • Somatic coaching is a great fit if you're ready to explore your body’s sensations and emotions with curiosity and compassion. It’s for those who are willing to take responsibility for their own growth and are looking for sustainable, grounded ways to move towards their desires. If you're open to approaching challenges with acceptance and patience, somatic coaching can offer valuable tools for navigating life with greater ease and resilience.

  • Somatic coaching isn’t the right support for you if you are actively struggling with addiction, in the middle of a mental health crisis, recently left an abusive relationship within the last 12 months, or having trouble functioning in day to day life. In this case, we would want to find you a therapist that can give you the support you need. If you need help finding a competent trauma-trained therapist, I am happy to refer you.

  • No. Coaching and therapy are two different types of professional support for personal growth and development.

    Therapy typically focuses on helping individuals heal from past traumas, unresolved emotional issues, and psychological conditions such as anxiety and depression. A therapist may also act in a coaching capacity and help their client work towards specific goals. Some therapists are trained to diagnose and treat mental health disorders and uses various therapeutic techniques to help clients gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

    Coaching, on the other hand, is specifically geared towards helping individuals achieve specific personal goals. Coaches work with clients to identify areas of their lives where they want to improve and helps them develop strategies, tools, and skills to achieve their goals. Coaching does not involve diagnosing or treating mental health disorders.

    Coaching and therapy can complement each other. It's essential to choose the type of support that is best suited to your needs and goals.

  • Somatic means that we are relating to the body, rather than the mind. What that actually looks like is a lot of pausing and slowing down our sessions to be with the body and identify our felt sensations and reactions to whatever material or story we are working with and using the body as a guide and resource. For example, if we are working towards a goal that brings up a lot of charge and emotion, we slow down and tend to our capacity to be with those sensations so we are nurturing and building our capacity rather than overriding it.
