My Therapeutic Approach and Experience
Reconnect With Your Core Sense of Self to Cultivate Inner Safety and Resilience
In my therapy practice, I help clients feel grounded, safe, and whole by reconnecting with their core sense of Self. Drawing from Polyvagal Theory, EMDR, and Dance/Movement Therapy, I guide clients to understand their nervous system, release negative core beliefs, and embody a deeper sense of self-awareness and strength.
Even when we can't control the outside world, we can learn to feel secure within ourselves. By exploring how the nervous system responds to stress and relationships, we shift from hypervigilance to calm alertness, from rigidity to flexibility, and from mere survival to authentic thriving.
