I'm also trained in Hakomi somatic-based approaches and bring lived experience to my practice.
Hello, I work with individuals, couples and families who may be dealing with loss, grief, traumatic experiences and difficult life transitions. Many wish to explore the way their identity is shaping their sense of self, with or without ASD, ADHD, AuDHD or other diagnoses, and how this is impacting on their relationships. Others wish to develop communication tools to help feel seen, heard and understood. Together we navigate these challenges in a positive, strengths-based way to safely explore internal conflicts, reframe unhelpful thoughts and tune into deeper insights.

In my practice of psychotherapy, I offer a reflective relationship, where we use the body ( somatic therapy) and our relationship (interpersonal therapy), as sources of insight and change.
I see clients as unique individuals with complex and fascinating minds, rather than a prescribed diagnostic category. Through integrative psychotherapy, I combine a range of complementary therapeutic modalities to create tailored treatments plans and include the body, emotions and therapeutic relationship in the therapeutic process.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
