The Offerings

Tailored, Mind-Body Healing.

Golden light reflecting on gentle water ripples, illustrating the calming effect of somatic regulation and hypnotherapy.

Integrating Wisdom & Science

My approach blends modern neuroscience with the timeless wisdom of mindfulness and Zen practice. Healing happens when the mind and body learn to work together, so much of our work focuses on calming the nervous system and shifting out of chronic “fight or flight.”

Clinical Hypnotherapy

A gentle, highly effective approach that uses mindful, multi-level communication to help the brain release old patterns, resolve emotional pain, and create lasting change — even when memories are unclear or deeply stored.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Learn to calm the mind, regulate the nervous system, and reduce stress through simple, powerful practices grounded in awareness, breath, and present-moment focus.

Somatic & Nervous System Regulation

Reconnect with your body as a source of safety. Somatic work helps you shift out of “fight or flight” and into the parasympathetic rest-and-restore state where healing naturally occurs. My study of the Autonomic Nervous System, Limbic System, and Vagus Nerve informs much of my work.

Breathwork for Healing & Grounding

Breath is one of the most direct pathways to calming the nervous system. You’ll learn practical, accessible techniques to regulate your physiology and support emotional balance.

Trauma-Responsive Support

While my practice welcomes all clients, my background in law enforcement provides unique insight into trauma, stress, and high-pressure environments. I offer a grounded, compassionate approach to healing, without re-traumatization.
