I offer somatic practice and psychotherapy in Walnut Creek and online throughout California. I work with developmental and relational trauma, chronic pain, persistent physical symptoms, and functional neurological symptoms, with attention to both emotional and physical experience.

Who I Work With

I work with adults dealing with developmental and relational trauma, chronic pain, chronic health conditions, and persistent physical symptoms.

Developmental & Relational Trauma

Developmental or attachment trauma
Difficult family or relationship patterns
Difficulty with trust, boundaries, or connection
Feeling disconnected from yourself or your body
Patterns that continue even when you understand them

Chronic Health Conditions & Persistent Symptoms

Chronic pain
Functional neurological symptoms
Other persistent physical symptoms
Changes in functioning or daily life
Anxiety or fear related to symptoms
Difficult medical experiences

Physical symptoms can have a significant emotional impact. Working with that impact does not mean the symptoms are psychological or caused by trauma.

Somatic Practice & Psychotherapy

Sometimes we understand why we respond a certain way, but the response still happens. My work includes attention to thoughts and emotions as well as physical sensations, movement, attention, and patterns of response.

My work integrates:

Somatic Experiencing® (SE): Working with body sensations, activation, and responses to stress and trauma.
Advanced somatic trauma training with Kathy Kain, PhD: Including Touch Skills for Trauma Therapists and Coupling Dynamics, with attention to physiological and body-based patterns.
Somatic Resilience & Regulation (SRR): Working with activation, overwhelm, shutdown, and flexibility in responding to stress.
Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning (DARe): Exploring how early relationships can shape patterns of connection and protection.

My work also draws from training in chronic pain, functional neurological symptoms, and persistent physical symptoms, with attention to how symptoms affect daily functioning, emotion, attention, and patterns of response.
