Meet the Practitioner

I am passionate about helping others get well! I know that vitality and wellness exist on the other side of struggle and pain, because I’ve been there…

My journey to becoming a practitioner started in 2014 when unexpected trauma entered my life. I was violently attacked by a stranger on my way home. Although the bruises and broken bones healed within weeks, for months afterward I was unable to leave the house or go about my normal activities.

I had all the symptoms of PTSD: feeling helpless and disconnected, frozen and distracted, with bursts of intense flashbacks and waves of uncontrollable emotion.

I tried talk therapy, and although I liked my therapist, the process of trying to talk about what happened actually made my symptoms worse.

I began searching for alternative healing, and that’s when I discovered Somatic Experiencing.

My first somatic session as a client was a revelation to me. I felt immediate relief; and eventually, with continued sessions, I began to feel even better than I had before the attack happened.

Somatic work gave me my life back. I still get depressed and anxious sometimes; but now I know what to do when it happens, and it, and it doesn’t last as long – usually a few hours or days, instead of weeks or months.

I now use somatic tools every day for my own health and continued healing. And you can, too!

I knew back in 2014, as soon as I started to get better, that I wanted to share this healing work with the world. It became my obsession; I dove deep into multiple modalities in a relentless endeavor to widen and deepen my skillset. That continues today; my passion drives me to keep learning continually, so that I can help more people in more ways!

In 2019, my husband and I moved from Colorado to Evansville, Indiana, and I opened my office here.
