Focus is liberation: My practice moves beyond helping you simply manage or adapt to symptoms, diagnoses or chronic stress related issues. True wellbeing isn't about teaching your nervous system to tolerate harmful structures just so you can remain productive; it’s about liberating yourself from them. My approach centers on a cultural and somatic shift away from individual extraction and toward collective vitality, deep relational connection, and eco-somatic alignment. Together, we move past superficial coping mechanisms to examine the structural roots of distress, reconnecting your body with the rhythms of the natural world and cultivating a profound sense of belonging, rest, and shared liberation.

Specializations

EMDR Therapy

Somatic EMDR combines traditional Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with body-centered (somatic) therapy.  EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), utilizes bilateral brain stimulation—such as alternating eye movements, gentle tapping, or sound—to help the brain and body reprocess stored trauma, adverse experiences, and distressing memories so true resolution can take place. Somatic Therapy, which focuses on the body's felt sense. It centers on the body’s internal felt sense—attuning to physical sensations, held tension, micro-movements, and somatic energy—to help discharge trauma stored within the nervous system and tissues, rather than relying on cognitive processing alone.

*Modality distinctions: I offer Somatic EMDR and Ecosomatic Therapy, which are two distinct and separate practices in their own right and are separate from Somatic Experiencing® (SE), a specific trademarked trauma modality developed by Dr. Peter Levine practiced by a (SEP).

EcoSomatic Therapy 

EcoSomatic Therapy bridges body-centered healing (somatics) with our relationship to nature (ecology). Because our nervous systems naturally evolved to function alongside the living world, this approach combines internal body tracking with environmental awareness to soothe stress, build deep grounding, and restore your natural sense of presence in the world.

Professional Trainings 

Education & Professional Training: Through the Ecology & Soma Lab, I provide advanced training, workshops, and educational programs for clinicians, bodyworkers, and wellness professionals.
