ABOUT THE THERAPIST
Guiding recovery from overwhelming experiences such as accidents, life-threatening events and combat-related trauma through body-based therapy that restores calm, connection, and emotional balance.
Hello, and welcome. I specialize in the treatment of post-traumatic stress stemming from accidents, combat experiences, terrorist attacks, exposure to disturbing scenes, and other life-threatening events. Such experiences can leave a lasting impact — including intense emotions, physical symptoms, disrupted sleep, disconnection, anger, and avoidance of everyday life. My approach offers a gentle, paced process in which tensions and emotions held in the body are gradually released — in a way that feels manageable and safe, and without requiring detailed re-telling of the traumatic event. The therapy is short-term and focused on increasing your capacity to stay present with sensations and emotions. It helps restore a sense of inner safety, strengthen self-regulation, and support your return to a fuller, more connected life.
Life-threatening events, combat events, accidents, terrorist attacks, and exposure to difficult sights
I guide and support you in healing from overwhelming experiences through a gentle, body-centered approach. Together, we explore sensations and emotions at a pace that feels safe and manageable. This process helps release stored tension, build resilience, and restore a sense of safety and wholeness.

TREATMENT APPROACH
DreamworkModern dreamwork asserts that the only person that can make meaning of their dream is the dreamer, which is what separates dreamwork from dream interpretation. In dreamwork, the practitioner is a guide in the exploration of the dream, with the client making meaning of the dream for themselves. The reason the practitioner is only a guide is because thoughts, emotions, as well as meaning of symbols are deeply personal and subjective. Dreams can be used to uncover hidden feelings and beliefs, develop self-awareness, and gain insight into problems and potential solutions. Dreamwork is often paired with other therapeutic modalities.
Guided ImageryGuided imagery is a form of visualization used for relaxation and healing. It uses the power of the imagination to create positive changes in a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is also used to reduce stress and anxiety, cope with physical and emotional pain, increase motivation, confidence, and self-esteem, and to improve focus and concentration. During a guided imagery session, the practitioner will guide the client through a series of visualizations, using words and descriptions to help them create mental images in their mind. These visualizations can take many forms, such as a comforting place from the past or the client’s future goals.
Somatic Experiencing (SE)Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other physical and psychological stresses. It is based on the idea that the body is a powerful source of healing and that unresolved trauma can be resolved through the process of bringing awareness and attention to the physical sensations of the body. By gradually and gently guiding individuals through the sensations associated with their traumatic experience, SE can help to restore balance and well-being more quickly and effectively than traditional psychotherapy. SE utilizes the body’s natural ability to regulate and heal itself and supports individuals in developing more resilience and self-regulation. Somatic Experiencing aims to help people move past the place where they might be “stuck” in processing a traumatic event. SE is often used to treat symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
