Our bodies and minds are incredibly resilient.

When we experience trauma, our whole system creatively adapts. We quickly generate new patterns of thought, feeling, behavior, and even beliefs, that support our ability to survive. In the short-term these new adaptations offer structure and a sense of predictability in challenging circumstances.

But if trauma or acute stress is sustained over time, those once helpful responses may develop into chronic patterns of emotional and physical tension that can impinge on our ability to experience connection, wholeness, and contentment in life— we sustain an injury to the spirit.

Recovery requires us to create the conditions for the mind, body, and spirit to come back into balance. Each level of our system requires unique interventions to release tension and restore embodied connection.

I offer Integrative Psychotherapy, Meditation, Somatic Energy Awareness, Therapeutic Trance, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Expressive Arts methods to support individuals and groups at different phases and levels of recovery, as well as anyone who is seeking relief from anxiety and stress.
