Are you constantly in “fight or flight” mode?

When you’re chronically on high alert, your body is constantly pumping you full of threat chemicals — and prolonged exposure to these chemicals is toxic. Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT) is a profound tool for releasing that somatized “toxic stress” from the body, not just talking about it.

I’m licensed to provide AIT and trauma-informed therapy online to clients throughout Minnesota. You don’t need to live near a physical office, and you don’t need to have language for what’s wrong — we can start exactly where you are.

What is AIT, and how is it different from talk therapy?

Advanced Integrative Therapy works with the body, not just the mind. Talk therapy alone can help you understand why you feel the way you do, but AIT helps your nervous system actually release what it’s been holding onto — often stress and trauma responses that started long before you had words for them.

Do you have a mysterious illness that doctors seem baffled by?

Research shows that toxic stress and adverse childhood experiences increase the risk for chronic health conditions in adulthood. AIT could help you get to the root of what needs healing so your body can return to optimal functioning — and do what it was designed to do: heal itself.

Is online AIT therapy as effective as in-person?

Yes. Somatic and trauma-focused work translates well to a virtual setting, and for many Minnesota clients, being in their own space actually makes it easier to feel safe enough to do this kind of deep nervous-system work.
