"The body keeps the score" and the nervous system keeps the time. The body's physiology is the vehicle for our emotions (think: nerves in the stomach, tears when sad, flushed cheeks when embarrassed). When our emotional responses to overwhelming experiences remain unfinished, the nervous system stays caught in fight, flight, or freeze, parts of us stuck in the past.

Through somatic experiencing and trauma-resolution science, we work directly with the unconscious in ways cognitive approaches cannot. Healing happens from the bottom up: through felt experience, where safety and integration take root.

I also emphasize engaging the attachment system, including the pre- and peri-natal patterns formed before language (those that can only be felt, not articulated) where our earliest imprints of safety, connection, and regulation first take shape. These deep layers are often the root of trauma and the original seed of the nervous system itself.

We are living patterns designed to transform. Neuroplasticity, the brain’s natural ability to rewire, depends on conscious, focused attention for intentional change. I weave subtle hypnosis and brainspotting techniques to enhance that attention. My SEEED process — Sense, Equalize, Embody, Express, Distribute — anchors this rewiring, helping transformation continue long after our sessions.

The heart holds the paradox of healing — release and creation: letting go of old wounds while opening to new life. Here we face the shadow of the past alongside the light of possibility. Grief and inspiration often arrive together, and both need a place to belong. When we allow meaning to matter, nervous system shifts become embodied rather than fleeting. The heart leads us toward authenticity, connection, and wisdom. Intuition — the fruit of transformation — is intelligence embodied.

Where body, heart, and mind connect, something greater than the sum of its parts emerges. From a center of awareness, we can be with our parts without being reduced to them, restoring a flexible, spacious self.

Psychosynthesis, the original depth-oriented parts work, underlies my philosophy. Unlike modern interpretations of this work like Internal Family Systems (IFS Therapy), it honors the more subtle dynamics of our manyfold psyche and has a greater emphasis on true synthesis through the spiritual dimensions of the whole self. It is transpersonal integration that makes the now watered down idea of wholeness an obtainable truth. Otherwise, what remains is clever fragmentation.

This process is relational and spiritual in your own way but is ultimately about cultivating a more intuitive way of living, lighter sense of being, and deeper sense of purpose.
