You’ve done the work, read the books, and analyzed your patterns. You can explain exactly why you react the way you do—but your nervous system is still running the show.
You’re not broken. Your nervous system just needs different tools.
I help trauma-aware adults bridge the gap between understanding their patterns and actually feeling safe in their bodies.
My clients are smart, successful people who know something is still missing — and they’re ready to find it.
Talk therapy works in your mind. Trauma lives in your nervous system.
Through gentle, body-based techniques, I help you:
I came to Somatic Experiencing® the same way a lot of my clients do — after realizing that understanding something wasn’t the same as healing it.
I’d been a therapist for years, doing work I believed in. But I kept noticing a gap: clients who had done enormous amounts of work on themselves, who were insightful and self-aware, who still felt stuck in the same loops. Insight wasn’t the missing piece. Something else was.
When I found SE, I experienced the difference firsthand. The training required us to do our own work, and what I found was humbling — my body had been holding onto things my thinking mind had completely dismissed.
That’s what I want for my clients.
This isn’t a place to start over. It’s a place to go deeper.
I offer both individual Somatic Experiencing sessions and relationship counseling in Austin, TX, with online options available.
Your nervous system is ready to learn something new. Let’s teach it together.
Somatic Experiencing is a modality that integrates mind and body to help release trauma and chronic stress and restore resilience to the nervous system.
I can help you to slow down and organize what’s happening to both of you when you get triggered, ultimately helping you build a more secure relationship.
I have years of experience helping clients figure out what’s underneath the anxiety (ex. trauma history, unprocessed grief or anger, stress) and working through it.
During your darkest hours, I will sit with you and listen to you and support you. We will create a safe place to have and release those difficult feelings that the depression is numbing out.
Through an approach that integrates mind and body, using techniques from Somatic Experiencing I can help you slow down in the moments when you feel triggered, so that you are less reactive, opening up more choices in how you respond. Slowing down also allows for more insight to where these beliefs you hold about yourself come from, allowing opportunities for healing. And trust me, it’s okay to slow down. This approach works well for both individual and relationship counseling sessions.
Like my clients, you deserve to have peace and happiness in your relationships. There is nothing wrong with you. Letting go of past wounds is not out of your reach. If you want to be able to show up as your authentic self in your day to day life and in your relationships, I’d love to help you get there. Please check out my FAQs page to learn more.
Let’s create a safe place for you to reconnect with your body and nurture your innate ability to heal. I want to help you experience the peace and happiness you deserve.
