Somatic Experiencing is a body oriented psychotherapy developed by Dr, Peter Levine for the treatment of trauma. Trauma is seen as more than difficult memory. It creates an actual imbalance in the nervous system, which leads to many of the typical trauma symptoms, including panic, anxiety, immobilization, flashbacks and hypervigilence. Therapy focuses not only on the story, but also on the experience in the body in order to to re-balance the nervous system.

Transpersonal Awareness refers to that which is beyond the egoic mind. Developing awareness of intuition, subtle energies and attuning to the resonance in relationship allows us to fine tune our sensitivities to ourselves and others. Having awareness, confidence and discernment for those subtle inklings, which often subconsciously drive our behavior allows us to live from a higher level of consciousness.
Mindfulness Meditation focuses the mind and encourages, non-judgmental awareness and acceptance. With a clearer more focused mind we often find we a sense of inner peace and have access to this calmness within the storm of life.

Through both my training and experience, I have found that deep and lasting healing is available to those who are willing to work deeply. In order to fully resolve deep seated issuse it essential to access in an integrative fashion all facets of experience: ntellect, emotions, body sensation, memory and perceptions. For these reasons I offer experiential therapies to enhance the healing process.
