About
Trauma doesn’t live only in the mind, it lives in the nervous system. At Nectar Therapy, I offer neuroscience-informed, embodied trauma therapy for individuals who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or disconnection, even after trying traditional talk therapy. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel chronically unsafe, exhausted, or reactive on the inside. You may notice panic or anxiety that feels “out of the blue,” difficulty trusting others, people-pleasing or withdrawal in relationships, or a sense that your body is always on alert. I specialize in embodied, nervous system-based trauma therapy, drawing from: Somatic Experiencing (SE) to support regulation, resilience, and completion of stress responses; Lifespan Integration Therapy to repair attachment wounds and integrate traumatic memory without overwhelm; Parts-informed therapy to increase self-compassion.
