My approach
Many approaches to healing and transformation focus on what’s “missing” and tell you to change something outside of yourself.
That’s not what I do.
My approach is integrative – body, mind, nervous system, and spirit in harmony.
Healing and personal transformation begin when the nervous system feels supported, safe, and regulated—and that’s the space I hold for you. In that safety, your body can soften its protective patterns, your system can find greater ease, and your innate wholeness can come forward with more clarity and purpose.
My work is trauma-informed, embodied, and deeply relational. I honor the uniqueness of each person—their history, their resilience, and the wisdom already living in their body. The struggles we carry are not flaws to be fixed but expressions of survival and protection. When met with compassion and deep care, those patterns loosen, and space opens for new ways of being that feel more aligned, connected, and alive.
I bring together the depth of somatic trauma healing with the forward movement of transformational coaching. This integrative approach helps you release the weight of the past while also stepping into the future with authenticity and choice. At every step, the focus is not on fixing what’s broken, but on unfolding the wholeness that has been within you all along.
Your Power Is Within
I am not here to heal you, fix you, or give you answers; the resources you need are already inside you. That is your power! My role is to create a safe, supportive environment where your inner wisdom, intuition, and creativity can come alive—guiding you back home to yourself and helping you stand more fully in your truth with dignity and resolve.
When we work together—whether in a private session or a group setting—the intention is to bring balance to your whole being. Everything is connected: body, nervous system, mind, and spirit. By integrating somatic and mindfulness-based practices, we create space for healing, growth, and transformation in your health, relationships, career, and overall well-being.
The methods I draw from include:
*Transformational Coaching
*Somatic Experiencing® (SE™)
*SE™ Touch
*Parts Work (IFS-informed)
*Polyvagal-informed practices
*Positive Psychology
*Yoga & Mindfulness
At the heart of this work is the remembering that you are, and have always been, whole and innately complete.
*Transformational Coaching. Transformational coaching is a type of life coaching that focuses on deep, lasting change in a person's way of being, rather than just achieving specific goals. It involves a holistic approach that explores a client's inner world, including their beliefs, values, and identity, to facilitate significant shifts in their mindset and behavior. This approach aims for sustainable transformation that impacts all areas of life, rather than just addressing surface-level issues or providing quick fixes.
*Somatic Experiencing®. SE™ is a body-oriented therapeutic model developed by Peter Levine, Ph.D. It is designed to heal trauma and other stress disorders by resetting the nervous system, restoring inner balance, and enhancing resilience to stress, which helps facilitate one’s vitality and capacity to actively engage in life. With more than 45 years of successful clinical application, SE has been widely integrated into psychotherapy, coaching, bodywork, and other healing modalities.
*SE™ Touch is a highly specialized skill used to directly support the body's natural healing process. It's a non-manipulative, consensual form of touch that helps to regulate the autonomic nervous system. By gently working with different areas of the body, the SE touch approach can help build a greater capacity for self-regulation, restore the body's natural rhythms, and complete the self-protective responses that may have been interrupted by trauma.
*Parts Work. Parts Work is a way of thinking that has roots in many schools of thought: Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Voice Dialogue, and even Jungian Archetypal work. It is a therapeutic lens that assumes that each of us has multiple aspects to our minds and psyches (ego formations). The theory attends to the conflicts between parts that, when left unresolved, can sabotage our efforts toward healing. By promoting internal connection and understanding, parts work can facilitate self-compassion, reduce inner conflict, and elevate relationships and overall psychological well-being as we move through our days encountering different situations, triggers, and scenarios.
*Polyvagal Theory (PVT). Developed by neuroscientist Stephen Porges, Ph.D., PVT focuses on the body's and nervous system's responses, and explains how our sense of safety, danger, or life threat can impact our behavior. Polyvagal Theory in practice helps increase one’s capacity for healing by retuning the nervous system for an embodied sense of safety and connection, which in turn allows one to be more regulated and resilient to life’s challenges. It teaches you how to map your nervous system in support of self-regulation and adaptation.
*Positive Psychology is founded on the belief that people want more than an end to suffering. People want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play. It is a branch of psychology focused on the character strengths and behaviors that allow individuals to build a life of meaning and purpose, to move beyond surviving to thriving.
*Yoga & Mindfulness: Yoga and mindfulness are interconnected practices that involve connecting breath, body, and mind to cultivate present-moment awareness. Yoga uses physical postures, breathing exercises, and movement to strengthen and stretch the body, while mindfulness is the practice of non-judgmental, present-moment awareness of thoughts, sensations, and emotions. Practicing mindful yoga cultivates inner peace and balance, reducing stress and improving physical and mental health.
