Do you struggle to understand your own emotions? Are you regularly feeling anxious? Overwhelmed? Maybe you are finding it harder to connect with those you care about? These have been some very difficult years. Many of us need to take more time and space to heal. Therapy can help. I use person-centred and relational approaches grounded in neuropsychology. I work with individuals and couples to reduce anxiety and manage overwhelming emotions so that they are more grounded in themselves, stronger and more connected inside of their relationships, and ultimately able to make positive change in their lives.

Therapeutic art and somatic processing allow for deeper learning, acceptance and healing.
Many people come to therapy not because everything is falling apart, but because something inside feels tight, muted, or out of reach. You may be functioning well on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself on the inside. My work is Gestalt-informed, body-based, and art-centered, which means we pay attention to what emerges through sensation, emotion, image, and lived experience, not just words. You don’t need to be creative, broken, or in crisis to come. Therapy here is a place to slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with what feels real, alive, and true for you. You are not alone.

In addition, I use somatic and parts work, which means we don't just talk about the patterns - we work with the body and the protective parts that built them, so the change actually holds.
NEW July 2026 - Are you always apologizing for things that weren't your fault? You replay conversations on the drive home, draft and delete the same text five times before sending, and lie awake at 1am Googling "fawn response" or "narcissistic parent" to make sense of why every interaction leaves you so confused. You're hyper-aware of everyone else's mood and disconnected from your own. You've been told you're "too sensitive," but you're the person keeping every relationship afloat. You know the patterns. You can quote the books. But they won't budge. And you're tired of carrying the emotional weight of people who never carry yours.

Surviving traumatic events can feel isolating when societal norms encourage us to suppress our emotions and move on. Well-intentioned clichés like "time heals all wounds" can make us feel like something's wrong with us if we continue to feel distressed after time has passed. The truth is, that societal perceptions of trauma and mental health often lack accuracy. Time alone does not guarantee healing. It is crucial to know your distress is a physiological reaction to what you've survived rather than an indication of any personal shortcomings.

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.
