Therapy that works at the level of the nervous system

Many people enter therapy with a strong intellectual understanding of their experiences. They can clearly articulate why they feel anxious, reactive, or stuck—yet their body continues to respond as though the threat is still present. Anxiety persists, distressing memories intrude, moods shift rapidly, and reactions feel automatic rather than intentional.

This is not a failure of insight or effort. It reflects how the brain and nervous system store and respond to past experiences.

My clinical work focuses on the subconscious and neurobiological processes that drive these patterns. I help clients understand how distress is encoded in the brain, how survival responses become entrenched, and how those responses can be carefully and effectively updated so that the present feels safer, more regulated, and more manageable.

Therapy focuses on working with these protective responses rather than against them, allowing change to occur at the level where patterns are formed and maintained.

I integrate evidence-based modalities including EMDR, parts-based approaches, CBT, DBT, Clinical Hypnosis, and additional somatic and relational strategies.

Treatment is individualized, collaborative, and responsive to each client’s nervous system, goals, and readiness.
