From talk therapy to nervous system work.
I spent years in talk therapy. I talked about my family of origin. I learned my attachment style. I meditated, journaled, did groups, processed my trauma. But I was still left with tension in my body: tight chest, shortness of breath, tense shoulders. My nervous system felt persistently activated despite all of the self-knowledge I spent thousands of dollars and hours acquiring.
Then I discovered Organic Intelligence®: a complex, nervous system approach to therapy.
As a client, I learned how to more deeply connect, accept, and integrate my painful past in my body, ironically by accessing pleasure and presence! Connecting to my body in a gentle, mindful way led to developing more fulfilling connections with others. Life changing.
As a helping professional, I use my training in Organic Intelligence® to help you get in touch with your body and heal from your past in a way that is gentle, at your pace, and compassionate to your body. It can help you increase presence, pleasure, and productivity.
I will help guide you toward (mind and body):
self-curiosity
self- awareness
self-compassion
self-acceptance
in order to empower you to make choices from a place of freedom and connection to yourself, which sets the foundation for healthy relationships.
My Approach
I have received over 250 hours (3+ years) of training in Organic Intelligence® (OI), which is a theory & clinical practice of human empowerment, resiliency, and compassion to resolve the devastating effects of stress, trauma, & PTSD. It breaks new ground in positive psychology, clinical training, professional expertise, & personal development. With this training, I can help you get re-acquainted with your body— your wise nature— to reestablish biological synchrony and live the life you most deeply want.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, OI will help guide you away from focusing only on "what's wrong" and help reorganize your nervous system through evidence-based mindfulness and self-compassion practices.
