I use a somatic approach to treatment, focusing on treating traumas that have been stored in your nervous system throughout your life and releasing them.
My therapeutic approach is strengths based and trauma focused, this includes being an EMDR trained therapist. I strive to provide a non-judgmental, safe space to problem solve, work through struggles, and build effective coping skills. My goal is to help empower people to work with their own positive qualities, identify their strengths and make necessary changes. I believe everyone has the potential to live happy and fulfilling lives. Our life experiences and stressors can make this feel extremely difficult. Maybe you’ve tried to do this on your own, but feel stuck. I want to help you to feel unstuck.

As a Somatic Therapist, I’ll help you slow down and listen to your body and discover how it communicates its needs and feelings to you.
Welcome! Going through a difficult time or a time in which you’re flooded with more questions than answers is hard but it can also be an invitation to discover strengths and supports you may not know you had. In therapy, you are invited to take care of yourself with more commitment, find what matters most to you, and listen deeply for answers inside of yourself. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can begin your journey home to yourself.

Have you noticed yourself having a hard time managing overwhelming emotions, and/or feeling anxious, distracted, irritable, and/or unable to finish certain tasks? When thinking about a distressing event, does it feel as if you're experiencing it for the first time? These symptoms are typical after experiencing a traumatic event, as your brain works to protect itself. As you know, these symptoms can interfere with your life in a very big way, oftentimes presenting as unpleasant sensations, feelings, and images. Together we can cross the bridge to a more hopeful future. I treat first responders, teenagers, and trauma survivors.

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.
