Listening to your heart is important. Scientists have discovered that your heart contains its own sophisticated neural network with more than 40,000 neurons. This intrinsic cardiac nervous system not only controls your heartbeat but also processes information, makes decisions, and communicates directly with your brain. Even more surprising, your heart sends more signals to your brain than your brain sends to your heart. The vagus nerve carries about 80 percent heart-to-brain communication and only 20 percent brain-to-heart.

Your heart is literally influencing your thoughts, emotions, and decisions more than you might realize. This is why it's important in my idea of Embodied Sensemaking. When you get a gut feeling about someone or feel that something is right in your heart, that is not just a figure of speech. It is your heart’s neural network processing complex information faster than your conscious mind can analyze it.

The field of neurocardiology is showing that your heart is not simply a pump. It is an intelligent organ that has been guiding human decision-making for millions of years. Perhaps it is time to start paying closer attention to what your heart has been trying to tell you.

When a child is melting down, our instincts can take over — and not always the helpful ones.
We might lecture, rush to fix, or tell them to calm down… but these actually block co-regulation rather than build it.

Let’s talk about what not to do — and what to try instead — so we can truly help a child borrow our calm instead of our chaos.

My practice...

I have been a counselor for over twenty years and I love what I do. Over the years, I have had the good fortune to work in a number of different treatment settings with many amazing clients and colleagues. During my career, I have learned a great deal of important lessons both personally and professionally. These lessons guide me in my work on a daily basis.

In my private practice, I strive to offer my clients a safe place where they can reflect and connect with their own intrinsic ability to heal and grow. I prefer to use approaches that respect the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting are two highly effective treatment approaches that can be utilized to address a number of different symptoms and conditions and can also aid in shifting behavior patterns and enhancing performance.

I am incredibly honored when a client chooses to partner with me to assist them in their healing process. I see this process as fluid and one that evolves over time in therapy. The willingness to be curious and more connected can lead to profound transformation. I believe having deeper access to our hearts and minds is one of the most important gifts we can give ourselves. It can also be quite an amazing, life changing adventure.
