Reduced Rate for SE Therapists

Payment options: 

Credit card, cash or Health Savings Card

Insurance: 

I do not accept insurance. I provide a specialized receipt for clients to submit for possible reimbursement, if they choose.  I am considered "out of network." 

Scheduling Hours: I offer day time appointments, in-person or online telehealth, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  

My first appointment is at 8:00 with the last appointment beginning at 2:30.  

At the beginning, SE will feel like familiar "talk therapy" where you might share about your current concerns and situation, what you'd like to be different, and what is going well in your life. That conversation will continue throughout therapy, to track updates and progress, and new experiences that will come up. 

You'll learn about how the nervous system works when it's under stress or trauma.  Together we will discover what your nervous system needs to feel better. I will support you to track and shift what is going on inside you, in a way that is empowering. We will begin that in sessions. 

To get there, we will take brief pauses in our sessions to allow what you are feeling and thinking to  move through you physically and feel finished. In the body that means you are integrating a new experience, instead of recycling it and feeling the stress of it without relief. 

Together we practice how to change the signaling system inside you that is keeping your stress going. 

With time, you will feel your body do this naturally. 

Watch your resilience and capacity grow. Feel more ease and steadiness in your body and emotions and in your day to day life.  

You will learn some methods to do this that we practice in session, which supports your change between sessions.

This is an optional treatment approach for women, within Somatic Experiencing sessions. The goal is the same: To support your nervous system regulation and trauma resolution. 

This gentle hands-on somatic approach reminds your body (nervous system) that it knows how to come into settling; into healthy regulation and flexibility. 

You're invited to lay down on a massage table on your back, fully dressed.  Hand placements by the practitioner are still and light, in areas known to hold trauma patterns such as joints (shoulders, wrists, ankles) adrenals (your back) and brainstem (the back of your head.) 

Non verbal and childhood trauma leaves imprints, sometimes without stories or pictures or explanations. Sometimes there are full memories. 

This gentle approach does not rely on knowing or verbally processing the "story" of what happened, or didn't happen. 

The healing happens in the here and now,  by co-regulating with a present, caring person that is human first. 

I offer my regulated nervous system and  somatic skills for gentle trauma resolution. 

It is optional and never required or expected in order to benefit from Somatic Experiencing. 

I offer both. Let me know what you prefer. 

Yes! I provide EMDR & Somatic Experiencing Intensive healing sessions.  

Intensives are usually a set of extended sessions with a purposeful goal. Sometimes this is 2 hours, or up to 4 hours in one day. The purpose is to move through a stuck place with a more spacious, focused and gentle approach.
