Professional statement
There was a time when I felt trapped by anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. I spent years feeling like I was constantly reacting to the world around me—easily overwhelmed, shutting down, and unsure how to move forward. I was living in a hypervigiliant state - always on edge, feeling unsafe in relationships and in my aloneness. This was also followed with depressive states followed by shame and guilt.
Working with a Practitioner in Somatic Experiencing has transformed my emotional well being by helping my brain and body recognize safety and reducing my sensitivity to unpleasant sensations and arousal. I now feel more in control, I welcome unpleasant bodily sensations when they show up, and I transformed my body as a safe space for meaningful life experiences and relationships.
I’m currently a student in Somatic Experiencing and would love to support you in creating a relationship with your body that fosters healing and connection. Trauma is not the event - it is how our central nervous system has processed it - or - was not allowed to process it!
