Somatic Experiencing® is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine, resulting from his multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics, together with over 45 years of successful clinical application. The SE™ approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma. SE™ offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. It provides effective skills appropriate to a variety of healing professions including mental health, medicine, physical and occupational therapies, bodywork, addiction treatment, first response, education, and others.

I use my extensive study and practice of meditation and mindfulness in conjunction with SE™ to facilitate increased embodiment, awareness and choice in my clients.
Developing an awareness of their internal experience and utilizing a variety of skillful tools to meet the uncomfortable aspects of that unfolding process; builds the clients’ embodied awareness and ability to meet, manage, hold and metabolize their felt experiences- regardless of whether the experience is recent or happened decades ago.
SE™ restores self-regulation lost to physical and emotional trauma and allows individuals to rediscover their sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness.
I believe in the transformational power of SE™ both from having witnessed the increased presence and resiliency in my clients and from experiencing the same in my own mind-body.
I work on a benefactor/sliding scale model. The scale is intentionally broad. $90-$180. Please offer at the highest level available to you.
