The therapy you never knew you needed

I specialize in helping individuals release the lingering effects of stress, trauma, and high-pressure experiences that often impact how we think, feel, and perform.

Emotional Release Therapy (ERT). In the natural normal course of life we have multiple experiences that can be amazing and also can be traumatic.  This leads to humans carrying unprocessed emotional stress—whether from personal life, past experiences, or the constant pressure of performing day to day. . These stored patterns can unconsciously show up as hesitation or anxiety, inconsistency, burnout, or difficulty moving forward after setbacks.

ERT works at the intersection of mind, body, and performance. By clearing these hidden blocks, humans can experience:

  • Faster recovery from emotional lows or depression

  • Sharper mental focus and decision-making

  • More authentic confidence and resilience

  • Stronger self reliance and authentic connection

In short, it helps people live more freely, consistently, and at their true potential.

Why Emotional Release Therapy Works

Emotional Release Therapy is grounded in neuroscience and trauma research showing that the body and brain store unresolved emotional experiences. As Bessel van der Kolk highlights in The Body Keeps the Score, stress and trauma aren’t just mental memories — they’re imprinted in the nervous system and can unconsciously drive our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors for years.

ERT provides a safe way to access and release these stored emotional imprints. By engaging both the body and the brain’s natural neuroplasticity, clients process experiences that once felt overwhelming, freeing themselves from survival patterns like fight, flight, or freeze. This helps reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and chronic stress, while strengthening pathways linked to resilience, calm, and authentic connection.

Why It’s Important

Talk therapy alone often leaves the body’s stored experiences untouched. Emotional Release Therapy bridges the gap, combining insights from neuroscience, somatic psychology, and trauma-informed practices to address the root causes of distress. This allows for deeper healing, faster breakthroughs, and lasting change.

As van der Kolk’s research shows, “the body keeps the score” — and until those scores are released, they hold people back in relationships, performance, and overall well-being. ERT helps people clear those imprints, reconnect with their authentic selves, and access their fullest potential.

In short - it’s the life changing therapy you’ve never heard of and will be so grateful you stepped into.
