My toolbox includes EMDR, IFS, DBT, CBT, and somatic, mindfulness and writing practices, with deep and respectful, listening at the core of it all.
We are all seeking peace in one form or another: in our relationships, with ourselves, or in our life choices. Past experiences, trauma, grief & loss, and current conflict or illness can make it hard to feel who you really are and what you want. I am here to listen & reflect your truth, and to help you find and create a life that matters to you. Through empathic conversations, enlivening and reflective exercises, and mindful awareness of yourself and your body, we help you cultivate a felt sense of ease and safety that isn’t just intellectual, so you can live your most awake, consciously-chosen life and relationships.

I want to acknowledge if you’re looking for a therapist, it’s unlikely things are going as you hoped right now. That sucks and I get that. You deserve to live an empowered, embodied existence and I want to guide you on that journey. Together we will reignite or deepen your connection to yourself and others (romantic and platonic). I'll support you through hard and messy conversations, as we discover purpose, passion, and build insight; I'll stand by you as we cultivate self-love, worth, and esteem. Together we can rewrite your story so it works for you.

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.
