Eliminate stress and anxiety — permanently.

Peak States Therapy is a somatic-type healing modality designed to quickly and precisely identify and resolve the root causes of emotional distress, limiting beliefs, and trauma. It focuses on clearing specific emotional wounds that block access to natural states of well-being and clarity.

When you hire a coach, you have goals — improve your health, make more money, increase performance, or solve some kind of problem.

Traditional coaches help you make a plan, adopt best practices, and avoid pitfalls. But a big part of a coach’s job is pushing you to keep going when your unconscious fears and resistance to change are screaming at you to stop.

My specialty is resolving those fears and resistance so they don’t get in your way in the first place. I help you resolve the inner blocks, past trauma, or self-sabotaging patterns that make you want to give up.

Once these underlying issues are healed, moving forward with your goals is easy. The energy and clarity you need arises naturally, without needing to exert constant willpower to stay engaged or fighting against your own instincts.

Unlike talk therapy, Peak States Therapy is not about analyzing your past or reframing your thoughts. It's about locating and healing the source of emotional pain stored in the body and subconscious. There’s comparatively little talking involved.

Sessions are experiential and go beyond insight, mindset work, coping skills, and reframing, allowing deep transformation without years of weekly sessions.

That being said, Peak States Therapy is quite complementary to traditional coaching and therapy. The insights, self-observation, familiarity with emotions, and openness to growth are synergistic with Peak States Therapy’s deep healing.

Peak States Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) are both part of a family of modalities known as “power therapies”. Modalities of this class are distinct in that they can eliminate triggers and emotional distress permanently instead of temporarily reducing them.

EMDR uses guided eye movements to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing the emotional charge they hold. It often requires multiple sessions focused on the same memory to achieve lasting results, and it doesn’t address generational, prenatal, or associational trauma.

Peak States Therapy uses a unique model of consciousness to find and directly heal the origin point of trauma — whether it’s from your own life, your family line, or even prenatal experiences. The process is typically faster, more agile, and doesn’t rely on repeatedly revisiting painful memories.

Peak States Therapy also has the advantage of being able to work on a wide variety of issues, such as unconscious associations, chronic pain, spiritual or energetic experiences, and identity and self-worth.

In summary, EMDR is an effective modality for resolving traumatic memories, but Peak States Therapy is more comprehensive in what it can address, and often faster and less painful.

Exposure therapy involves reliving traumatic memories in excruciating detail, over and over, with the goal of being able to tolerate them when they are triggered by events in your life.

Peak States Therapy resolves the feelings of trauma, making memories no longer traumatic, removing need to tolerate them.

To use an analogy, exposure therapy is like walking with a broken leg and learning to tolerate the pain. Peak States Therapy is like healing the broken leg, so you can walk without pain.

No. I am a practitioner licensed by the Institute for the Study of Peak States, not by a government body. I do not diagnose or treat specific mental health disorders, or practice psychotherapy.

The promise is that the specific triggers that we work on together, that cause you stress and anxiety, will be permanently resolved once we’re done.

For example, if you get anxious when going to meetings with your boss, we will find and resolve all the underlying wounds, conditioning, and/or trauma that create this experience. Once we’re done, you will feel calm and peaceful when meeting with your boss, permanently.

You may also feel calm in other situations that previously made you anxious, which is a bonus. But because each situation has multiple underlying issues, you may find yourself being triggered differently in other situations.

To use an analogy, if you have pain when walking, and your doctor finds that you have a broken foot, healing the broken foot will make it so you don’t feel pain when walking anymore, permanently. However, if you also have a broken arm, you will still feel pain when playing basketball, although much less than if you also had a broken foot.

Being trauma-informed means I understand how trauma affects the nervous system, emotions, memory, and behavior. I create a safe, non-judgmental space, and I never force or push you into anything before you’re ready. Your agency and pacing are always respected.

Each session is 60-90 minutes. We begin by identifying the issue you want to work on. Then, using guided techniques, we follow the trail of emotions to uncover and heal the wounds, conditioning, or trauma behind the problem. Most people describe the process as gentle, surprising, and deeply relieving.

No. You can be as vague or detailed as makes you feel comfortable. While we reference memories or emotions, Peak States Therapy does not require you to relive trauma or tell your story in full. We follow the sensations and emotional layers as they arise, allowing healing without retraumatization.

That depends on the complexity of what you’re working on. Some issues resolve in 3-5 sessions. Others may require 10 or more sessions to address fully.

It also depends on your goals. If you have one distressing issue that impacts your otherwise-fantastic life, you’ll require fewer sessions than people who want to continuously improve many or all aspects of their lives.

Yes. Many of my clients are experienced in therapy, coaching, or personal development, but still felt like something deeper hadn’t shifted. Because of its ultra-precise nature, Peak States Therapy is able to locate and resolve original wounds, many of which are generational, prenatal, or simply suppressed, that other modalities may not have fully reached.

While some clients experience deep spiritual insights during sessions, Peak States Therapy is not based on any religion or belief system. It's grounded in a combination of psychology, biology, and consciousness research.

That being said, clients have reported feeling a deeper connection with God, spirit, life, nature, Gaia, or their higher self through working with me.

Yes. I am versed in working with clients who have complex trauma, emotional sensitivity, or neurodivergence. Sessions are paced according to your nervous system’s readiness, and you are always in control.

Unfortunately, no. I am not trained to handle suicidal patients, and trying to do so would put you at risk. If you have a history of attempted suicide or have seriously considered suicide within the last few years, I won’t be able to work with you.

If you’ve tried other approaches but still feel stuck...

If you’re ready to go deeper than mindset work...

If you want healing that is both fast and foundational...
