When we are stressed out or overwhelmed and our instinctual survival responses (such as fight, flight & freeze) are blocked, so we don’t get to complete our body’s survival responses... then trauma occurs and symptoms emerge. As a result, the body continues to respond as if it is under threat. More than thoughts and behaviors – problems often lie within the autonomic nervous system. As one who facilitates healing from emotional, spiritual, and physical pain and suffering, I constantly involve the body and nervous system regulation at the core of the healing process. Nervous system dysregulation includes anxiety, panic, anger, hyperactivity, shame, shut-down and checked-out. The work that I do includes a very caring & listening ear, Mindfulness, EMDR and SE - Somatic Experiencing©. SE relieves emotional and bodily stress which has become trapped within the autonomic nervous system following traumatic experience(s). My style is warm & collaborative while providing practical skills. My practice integrates evidence-based psychotherapies, especially SE, with the spiritually of my Christian faith. The wedding of treatment models and inspiration create the container for working through the experiences of of trauma and pain to find release – and ultimately, peace and freedom. is a Licensed Professional Counselor / Mental Health Service Provider (LPC/MHSP).
