1-on-1 Coaching

I consider the body as the central place of experience, from which the mind makes meaning. Together, you and I learn how your body experiences your life – how your sensations and emotions are translated into your thoughts, your beliefs and your behavior. From there we can start to map and untangle the patterns that no longer serve you. The body can be a place of profound and lasting healing, when we actively and mindfully consider it as part of your experience.

In session, somatic explorations may include mindfulness, imagery, breath, gesture/posture inquiry, as well as touch and movement. Somatic work is individually tailored for you, based on your needs and curiosities.

I have a masters in Counseling Psychology, and am trained in polyvagal theory and nervous system regulation.

A trauma-informed approach takes into account the ways in which your system copes and responds

Our bodies, identities and personalities are undeniably influenced by the cultural contexts we’ve come up in. Our race, gender and gender identity, socioeconomic status, ability, sexual orientation, body size, and ancestry all impact our experiences of inclusion and belonging. More often than not, our identity is a complex intersectionality of privilege and oppression, and these opposing forces exist inside of us as well as surround us. I consistently have an eye on power dynamics (both inner and outer) and how these forces impact your mental health.
