Therapy for Embodied Awakening

Somatic & psychological therapeutic methods within a context of awakened awarness to help individuals and couples live more fully as the limitless beings they are.

I offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples looking to:

  • Awaken more fully on every level of our being—somatic, emotional, psychological, relational, spiritual and global, in order to become more free and empowered in their lives.

  • Heal early childhood wounds and trauma and alleviate the symptoms that arise from that such as depression, anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and chronic illness.

  • Overcome fixed identities and experience freedom from conditioned patterns and beliefs that hinder our full potential and purpose.

  • Access infinite intelligence for solutions and transform within an all-inclusive, all-embracing awareness.

I work on Zoom with people all over the world. I can also see people in person where I live in Grass Valley, California.

Her clarity about difficult and complicated experiences is impressive. Her techniques help uncover what is truly happening now and help unravel the past for healing. All of this has helped me understand what is mine and what is not. Also, it has helped me be able to share my story to help others.”

Item 1 of 3

With over three decades of experience, I’ve developed and refined a diverse set of skills and techniques into my therapeutic work. Here are just a few:

  • Nervous System Regulation and Trauma Resolution

    Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a form of somatic therapy that was developed by Dr. Peter Levine. SE works with the body’s physiology to resolve developmental and shock trauma, as well as chronic stress patterns, by restoring resilience and balance to the nervous system. This can alleviate symptoms related to trauma such as depression, anxiety, chronic illness, sleep disturbance, addictions, low self-esteem, and relational reactivity.

    Somatic Experiencing employs the awareness of body sensation to help people “renegotiate,” discharge, and heal trauma. With appropriate guidance into the body’s own innate capacity to heal, the highly aroused survival energies (fight, flight, freeze) can be safely and gradually discharged.

    In addition, I work with SE to assist with being present with “what is,” which facilitates awakening of consciousness while releasing trauma and stress. This is the subject of my chapter in The Sacred Mirror titled “Healing Trauma in the Eternal Now.”

  • For Trauma Resolution

    EMDR works with the neural-networks in the nervous system in a way that helps to release past trauma and negative beliefs that are formed from traumatic experience. This brings you more into the present moment with a sense of balance. EMDR utilizes bilateral stimulation, which is a stimulation of the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This is simply done by alternating tapping or eye movements, which allows the brain to process the experience that has been stuck. The ability to process trauma is naturally built into the nervous system.

  • For Trauma Resolution

    The Flash Technique (FT), is a recently developed therapeutic intervention that, like EMDR, has been demonstrated to be effective in reducing the disturbance level associated with painful or traumatic memories. FT also utilizes eye movements or alternating tapping and is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. The difference between the Flash Technique and EMDR is that FT does not require the client to consciously engage with the traumatic memory. You focus on a positive engaging image instead. This makes it possible to process memories that might otherwise be overwhelming.
