Somatic Experiencing™

SE™ is a trauma-resolution modality. This work supports your nervous system to find a sense of safety in our sessions and move through and out of trauma responses. SE™ uses dialogue that tracks sensations, emotions, thoughts, images, and impulses for movement. It might resemble talk therapy in some ways, but differs in approach and scope, as our goal is to give space to the story your body is telling. This work can be done in person or virtually.

This work might be for you if you if your quality of life is affected by stress and symptoms associated with stress and trauma (sleep issues, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, migraines, auto-immune diseases, etc.). SE™ can support you to feel emotions more safely, become more boundary-ed, be more in touch with your spirit and sense of self, and allow your life-force and vitality to come back.

My goal in this work is to be present, curious and artful in my approach to support you to come back to yourself and the infinite wisdom within you. I have worked with clients who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, childhood abuse, medical trauma, car accidents, grief and loss.

Sessions are 60 min, and are recommended weekly to start. We can check in at 6 weeks to see how things are shifting. Some folks just need a handful of sessions if working with a singular event, while others need more time, trust and relationship for our work to allow shifts to happen. I have clients that use this work regularly for support and processing the daily stresses of life as well.

We live in an incredibly hard time in the world with climate disasters occurring, rampant fascism in world powers, capitalism crushing the working class and living ;under supremacy beliefs. We are all experiencing trauma in varying levels, and my work in this life is to support people to heal and find resilience, so that we can find right relationship with ourselves, each other, mother nature and all beings. The state of the world cannot be untangled from our personal mission of healing, as all things are connected.

Body Work

I have been a licesicd massage therapist since 2021. I started off with my own private practice prioritizing care for low income queer folks. And since, I have working at Good Medicine: acupuncture and Massage. During the last three years, I have worked towards a certification in Somatic ExperienceingTM , Which has shifted my body work sessions to be more centered around embodiment, trauma healing, and emotional support. I am currently offering body work on Sundays at my own private practice. Sessions with me might include orthopedic cupping, movement, breath work, energy work, and some components of Somatic Experiencing. Each Session is customized to meet your goals and needs. I pride myself on creating a safe space that supports your healing journey.
