Let’s talk about therapy in a way most people never hear it described — because healing isn’t just about talking; it’s about understanding how your mind and body work together, and how your nervous system holds onto old pain, patterns, and identities.
What I offer is a specialized blend of both traditional and non-traditional psychotherapy, designed to support real, lasting transformation. At the core of this work is neurosomatic intelligence — the understanding that emotional wounds, chronic stress, and trauma live not only in the mind, but also in the body and nervous system.
When we approach healing from all angles, change becomes natural, sustainable, and deeply empowering.


Your Cognitive Mind
This is the part of you that thinks, plans, organizes, analyzes, strategizes… and sometimes spirals.
It tries to make sense of everything. It tries to solve what’s hurting.
But when the body is carrying old stress or unresolved trauma, the cognitive mind often can’t think its way out. It works harder, gets louder, and tries to control what feels out of control internally.
This is where traditional talk therapies help — by giving the mind tools to understand itself.
Your Nervous System
Your nervous system is the part of you that feels and reacts before you even have time to think.
It holds:
And here’s the truth many people never hear:
You cannot outthink a dysregulated nervous system.
If the body still believes you’re in danger — even from an old memory — it will keep you in survival mode:
fight, flight, freeze, fawn.
This is why some people feel stuck even after years of talk therapy.
The mind understands… but the nervous system hasn’t been updated yet.

Your emotional patterns are stored in your body.
Your body shapes your thoughts.
And your nervous system drives your behavior.
By working directly with physical symptoms, tensions, triggers, and sensations, we can access the emotional roots beneath them. This creates a pathway to heal psychological wounds from the inside out.
This approach is especially powerful for:
When the nervous system learns safety, flexibility, and regulation, everything in life becomes easier — relationships, decision-making, emotional control, sleep, and a sense of self.

While neurosomatic and progressive modalities shape the foundation of my work, I also integrate evidence-based approaches that support clear understanding and practical change.
These include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helping you identify thought patterns, challenge old narratives, and create more adaptive ways of thinking.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Teaching you to open gently to your inner experience, unhook from unhelpful thoughts, and live according to your deeper values.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Supporting emotional awareness, attachment healing, and relational repair — whether within yourself or with others.
These therapies bring clarity and insight to what the mind is doing, while neurosomatic work and progressive modalities address what the body is holding.
Together, they create a therapy experience that is both grounded and expansive.

This integrated approach supports healing across every layer of your experience — mental, emotional, physical, and relational.
Some areas where clients see profound change include:
If your mind has been trying to heal, but your body still feels stuck — this work helps bring them back into alignment.
