Somatic Therapy (Body Centered)

Somatic therapy focuses on the body-mind connection, helping clients listen to their bodily sensations and understand how they relate to their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. This approach can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or traumatic stress, as it offers tools to regulate the nervous system, process emotions, and cultivate a sense of safety and presence.

Mindfulness-based

Mindfulness is a way of relating to our present-moment experience with openness and curiosity. By focusing on the here and now, mindfulness helps us better understand our internal world while cultivating greater ease and resilience. I offer a gentle, compassionate approach to therapeutic meditation, mindful self-inquiry, and building a personal practice.

EcoTherapy

Living in relationship with the natural world means being rooted (knowing where we come from) and grounded in our basic sense of belonging, connection, and worth. Outdoor Ecotherapy sessions provide an opportunity to get away from the pace and distractions of urban life and reconnect with your true self in a natural setting. Sessions include elements of somatic therapy with nature-based resourcing and mindful awareness practice.

LGBTQ Issues

I welcome the intersections of who you are and the complexities of your lived experience. As a White, cisgender gay/queer man from the rural South, I bring a social justice lens to help LGBTQ+ clients navigate the unique challenges we face as a community. Our work together may include healing from religious and cultural trauma, deconstructing internalized systems of oppression, and living from a place of authenticity and wholeness.

Dissociative Disorder (DD)

Complex trauma refers to multiple and repetitive traumatic experiences—including systemic oppression and ongoing abuse or neglect in childhood. It often results in feelings of disconnection and a fragmented sense of self that may continue for many years after the trauma occurred. Through trauma-sensitive mindfulness and somatic therapy, I help survivors gently reconnect with their body and emotions, fostering a sense of safety, wholeness, and post-traumatic growth.
