Foundation

You Can Build the Capacities That Change Everything

I help individuals, parents, adolescents, and leaders develop somatic awareness, emotional regulation, stress resilience, and post-traumatic growth through compassionate, present-moment experiential support.

My work blends trauma science, nervous system regulation, body–mind integration, and experiential practice so you don't just learn tools — you embody them.

You'll build grounded, sustainable capacities that support:

A more stable internal world

Healthier relationships

Clearer communication

Secure parent–child connection

More presence and emotional clarity

A nervous system that recovers faster and holds more resilience

This is the foundation for lasting transformation.

Method

Trauma-Informed. Somatic. Experiential. Present-Moment.

My method integrates five core principles

Somatic Awareness

Healing begins with understanding how emotions live in the body.

Present-Moment Embodied Practice

We work with what your nervous system feels right now to create real change.

Psychoeducation

I teach trauma, stress, and resilience science so you understand what is happening.

Capacity-Building

We strengthen the emotional, somatic, and relational capacities that support lifelong change.

Compassionate Attunement

Safety, consent, and relational presence guide every step of the work.

This is not psychotherapy — it is applied, embodied, experiential support grounded in clinical wisdom and designed for your everyday life.
