"From the viewpoint of being a psychotherapist for over 30 years, who has sent Jake referrals and experienced his work personally, I know him to be an outstanding practitioner. His work is powerful, compassionate, and true."

—Deborah N. Bauserman. Clinical Psychologist

Trauma is not the events that happened to you

Trauma is the way your body holds onto past events through somatic memory. It's important to understand that trauma is stored in your body, not in the story of past events. When you go through a traumatic experience, your nervous system suppresses physical responses to protect you. If the trauma is too overwhelming, your nervous system shuts down the difficult emotions and sensations associated with the past event.

The current symptoms of stress, overwhelm, and illness often arise from your nervous system having to hold onto the traumatic stress inside your body and nerves. Healing comes from learning how to support your body to release the memory of past trauma that is held in your nervous system. Gaining confidence and trust in your body's ability to release what you have held inside and managed through life.

Your body speaks to you through your symptoms.

Symptoms are how your body tells you that you need to address stress and find new tools and strategies to heal your nervous system.

Your body is speaking to you through:

  • Anxiety

  • Stress

  • Illness

  • Addiction

  • Lack of Focus

  • Depression

  • Emotional highs and lows

  • Triggers

  • Worrying

  • Fear

  • Withdrawal

  • Anger

  • Guilt

  • Hopelessness

  • Grief

You can find stability, peace, and wholeness through a somatic based approach to healing.

I can teach you how to be with your body to release stress. The body releases through your felt sense, through sensations. When you learn how to relate to your body and sensations it can form new positive ways of supporting yourself to heal. Through a nervous system based approach you can learn how to regulate stress, let go of overwhelm, support your emotions, and form a more positive and supportive relationship with yourself.

All of these positive changes come from learning how to support and regulate your autonomic nervous system.

You do not have to let the past dictate your present and future. You can learn new approaches that can lead to more peace, freedom, and self-confidence.

You can take the next step toward becoming a support system for yourself.

Let’s work together.


“A trusted friend recommended Jake as a gentle and safe practitioner. I did not know what Somatic Experiencing was and I was very, very skeptical, even after my first consultation. I was fearful that this was too "weird" for me. But I was at a point where I was willing to try anything to heal the grief and emotional pain I had been carrying for years. I had tried traditional counseling and anti-depressant medications with little success. Jake was able to explain to me how Somatic Experiencing works and with his guidance, I have been able to work through pain and grief that I thought would never heal. Jake is kind, gentle, and knowledgeable and I highly recommend his practice.”

I understand your healing process

I began my interest in healing through my own struggles. I struggled with depression, low self esteem, emotional highs and lows, and self destructive behaviors. I was searching for answers on how to feel better with myself and in my life. When I started reaching out for help so many doors opened for me. I truly believe that life will support your healing journey when you are open to support and positive change. When I started learning about nervous system based approaches to healing I felt an immense amount of positive change in my self confidence. I learned that this change came from releasing my stress and attuning to my nervous system and emotions. As I began to support my nervous system I began to feel stable, open, and calm in my body and with myself.
