The Offerings
Tailored Mind-Body Healing
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. Much of our work will focus 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.
Neuro-informed Brain Training for Lasting Change
Using mindfulness and neuroscience-based practices, we gently retrain patterns of thought, emotion, and response — supporting lasting change without force or overwhelm.
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.
EMDR for Trauma Processing
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps the brain process difficult or overwhelming experiences. Rather than reliving the past, we work at a pace that feels safe, allowing your system to integrate and release what’s been held.
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.
