About My Approach

I help people interpret the language of pain so fear stops overriding their internal authority.

​

I’ve spent the last two decades studying and working directly with the human body as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, bodyworker, and somatic therapist. Over time, this work led me to a clear conclusion: pain, symptoms, emotional distress, and periods of dis-ease are not problems to be eliminated — they are forms of communication.

​

The issue is not the presence of symptoms.

The issue is misinterpretation.

​

Your system already has a guidance mechanism designed to support survival, orientation, and meaning.

 

When that system is understood, it organizes behavior, decision-making, and healing naturally. When it’s misunderstood — especially under fear — people override themselves in ways that increase suffering.

I often use the analogy of a newborn learning to communicate. A baby doesn’t speak in words; it cries. The cry itself isn’t the problem — confusion arises only when the signal isn’t understood. In the same way, your system communicates through sensation, emotion, and bodily experience. These signals are precise, but they require interpretation.

​

Over years of clinical practice, I began to notice a consistent pattern: when fear enters the system, perception narrows. People either fight their symptoms or disappear into them, losing access to the information those sensations are carrying. Pain becomes louder, not because it’s broken, but because it isn’t being heard accurately.

​

My work developed from learning how to stay regulated enough to listen — and to help others do the same. Rather than fixing or suppressing symptoms, I focus on restoring the conditions necessary for clear interpretation. When interpretation replaces reactivity, internal authority returns. Decisions become clearer. The system reorganizes itself around truth rather than fear.

​

I don’t tell people what to do, and I don’t rush outcomes. I work relationally and interpretively, helping you orient when fear wants to take over so you can respond from clarity instead of urgency.

If you’re new to my work, a 30-minute free consultation is the best way to determine whether this approach is right for you. ​​
