Hiya! I am LMFT who specializes in helping folks navigate trauma and autonomic nervous system, ANS, dysregulation. I became a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, in 2017 and I love supporting individuals in getting to know their own ANS.
I work with you closely to discover, together, their unique path to healing and ANS regulation. I am exploring what is working in your life and building upon strengths and supportive resources. I believe it is imperative to anchor is some safety before navigating the waters of trauma and stress.
You can expect to learn about your ANS (your operating system) while learning tools of how to regulate your stress responses. Sometimes we begin by increasing the efficacy of your daily schedule to be more supportive of your health and regulation. We may utilize top-down (think CBT) strategies before we can begin to work directly from the bottom-up (somatic) level. You can expect that we will discuss your unique path towards meeting your goals in the first three sessions.
