Someone you love has died, and your world feels like it is falling apart. Nothing is the same anymore. One day follows the next, leaving you behind. You lay in bed at night, missing your loved one with a pain that is unbearable. If only you had one more day to spend with them-to say good-bye, to say all the things you wish you had said, but didn't. Regrets and memories flood your mind, keeping you from sleep. Your heart is breaking and you feel so alone. If only things could return to the way they were. But you know they have changed forever, and you wonder how you'll be able to go on.

It can be really stressful when you feel like no one is there to listen to you. Sharing your pain with friends or family can be difficult, especially when you fear they won't understand what you're going through or that they will judge you. It's important to know that you are not alone in feeling this way. You often wonder if you will spend the rest of your life feeling trapped, hopeless, and disconnected from the world. As a result of your past experiences, you may find yourself constantly anticipating negative outcomes. I’m glad you are here and I’m happy to share that you don’t have to endure these dark times alone.

If you're a parent, you've probably been to countless parent-teacher conferences where the teacher tells you all about how great your child's personality is, but that they are failing to reach their full potential in class. Maybe, you and your child spend 2-3 hours at the table EACH night, where you teach (and re-teach!) lessons, only to find your daughter still managed to fail her test the next day! Or just maybe, you're in your 1st-year college math class and can't seem to figure out how the numbers are supposed to go together because you just narrowly passed Algebra in high school and you've NEVER been good at math.

People come to therapy because they want to feel better, plain and simple. But what does that mean? What happens when “talk-therapy” and words are not enough? Sometimes we can understand the source of our problems, but not actually feel any better. The basis of somatic therapy is that it incorporates and unites your body and mind. So instead of saying ‘what happened?’ or 'how does that make you feel?’ I might ask "when you feel joy, what do you notice in your body?” Bringing therapy out of your head and into the body allows for a whole different level of change and healing. My work is based on my training in somatic modalities.
