Somatic/Parts Work, Integrative Therapist,

Practitioner / Counselor

& Heroic Coach

Body, Mind, Spirit,

( treatment table-integrative )

I’m committed to bringing my Self-energy forward, for compassionate presence, per each session.  Firstly, through a friendly meet-n-greet and then a follow-up comprehensive intake process, I learn about the participants’ trauma, concerns, goals, and intentions etc.  This helps to shape my embodiment-forward, integrative approach for each participant.  The body

& nervous system are addressed throughout each session.

 

The therapeutic process helps an individual attune with Self energy; our birthright, unaffected by traumatic incident, and embodies present, compassionate, caring,

curious, accepting & healing qualities.   

 

TrueCore therapy is an embodiment-driven and Self-energy aligning approach to healing.  Clients may be supine on a treatment-table, ( combining somatic & craniosacral techniques with evidence-based, parts-work models ); clients better align with felt-sense and feelings, to make space for emotional processing, release, communication and insights.

Background

After losing myself in the arduous world of post-production,

I knew I needed to alter my path, and seek self-healing on a deep, restorative level.  

 

I aligned with a body-mind healing approach firstly,

via craniosacral/bodywork @ MSSM & Integrative Psycho-Structural Bodywork.

 

Then I leaned into a more specialized focus, within the world

of Somatic attachment / experiencing, alongside Behavioral, Environmental

& Somatic Psychology to further develop Self-discovery approaches,

trauma reconciliation, and allow for more impact and efficacy. 

I achieved the continuation of my education by obtaining Somatic-Attachment Therapy certification ( Dr. Lyons & Dr. Gallagher ) and Dr. Peter Levine’s S.E.

& Healing Trauma, (certificate of completion), plus a trio of Breathwork certifications.

 

IFS certificate of completion ( Dr. R. Schwartz, Herbine, & Krause ),

Plus additional study/certifications via ( NICAMB, Compassionate Inquiry/Gabor Mate,

Heroic Coach, HealthMeans, IFS Therapy, & Ethics)

and Somatic Developmental Trauma Therapy.

Additionally: Somatics in Action, Peter Levine,

the Somatic Mentorship Program,

and the long-standing work of Susan McConnell, Somatic IFS.

 

All of the above has helped to shape my approach to my body-mind-spirit,

integrative-therapeutic offerings, with a focus on embodiment, presence,

Self-awareness and Self-Empowerment.

( and Depression, Anxiety, Guilt/Shame, Grief/Loss & Relationship ).
