Somatic/Parts Work 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 are periodically supine on a treatment-table, ( combining somatic techniques and evidence-based parts-work exercises together ); 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, Loss & Relationship ).
