I help people with anxiety and overwhelm release outdated patterns and retrain their nervous system’s baseline reflex. This helps you:

  • stay calm, grounded, and centered in yourself

  • shift out of fight or flight mode

  • process and release emotional stress

  • listen to your inner guidance and set boundaries without guilt

  • prevent burnout from sensory or energetic overwhelm

Resetting the nervous system involves using active mind-body techniques like Brainspotting, somatic mindfulness, and neurosomatic processing. These methods help release deep emotional stress, calm the fight-or-flight response, and restore a sense of physical and mental safety.

About

My work today reflects thirty years in the healing arts, a Ph.D. in Natural Medicine, and my own nervous system healing journey. I specialize in nervous system balancing, releasing the underlying somatic tension and energy that affects emotional and physical well-being. I use Brainspotting and neurosomatic techniques to help clients tap into their body’s innate healing abilities to release stored emotions, unprocessed events, and outdated patterns so they can realign with their highest potential and navigate life with clarity and calm ease.

Lets work together

Your body has a language, and it communicates in its own way. These sessions help you listen to that language and make choices that align with the real you. Sessions are an opportunity for:

  • Clarifying what is happening, what you need, and where you want to go.

  • Nervous system recalibration to help you think clearly and make choices that align with your deepest wisdom.

  • Integration to bring your mindset and actions into alignment with your values.

  • Strengthen the changes that are beginning to take hold so you can move forward with confidence.

  • A new client call is a 30-minute conversation. It’s a complimentary, low-pressure phone call to meet, ask questions, clarify, and see if this approach is a fit for you.

  • Best for:

    • Help navigating a specific difficult situation or topic

    • Processing and releasing

    • Nervous system regulation

    • Calming, resetting, regrouping

    • Prefer a video call

    In this 60-minute session, we’ll focus on what’s happening right now and help you become present with how this is showing up in your body, release the held tension around the topic, and regulate and clarify what you’re feeling and wanting. We use neurosomatic techniques like Brainspotting and Emotional Freedom Techniques, along with somatic focus, to connect you to what you need so you can have greater clarity, practical insight, and a better understanding of how to move forward. This option is best for focused support around a specific situation, rather than long-term change work.

    60-minute/ $250.

  • Best for:

    • You are experiencing chronic stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

    • You are ready to create new behavioral patterns and release outdated adaptive patterns

    • You have multiple patterns you would like to shift

    • You are having strong reactions to circumstances

    • You want help bouncing back from unsettling experiences and nervous system dysregulation.

    When you have lifelong patterns that you would like to change, we need more time. The hard part is staying connected to what’s true for you, and regular appointments keep you on track. True regulation is about having the internal stability to process emotions as they arise and allowing yourself to pause and recover. These sessions give you the time and continuity to move beyond insight into meaningful change and establish a blueprint to keep you steady and consistent. Together we’ll work on:

    • Understand what’s really happening

    • Help your body to release built-up tension and stored energy

    • Connecting with your inner resources and internal safety to establish resilience

    • Neurosomatic insight and clarity to break old patterns

    • Work through what comes up as you begin doing something differently in real life

    • Recognizing where you might be overriding yourself in real time

    • Strengthening your ability to honor your needs and limits

    • Practicing new ways of responding with support and reflection along the way

    • Strengthening the changes that are beginning to take hold so you can move forward with confidence.
