I am a somatic therapist (trauma tells its story through the body) and utilize a mix of therapies including play therapy, sand tray, EMDR, expressive arts, movement and meditation. SomaticPlay(TM) is a way to process and heal from trauma without having to go back into the event and risk being retraumatized. I specialize in treating trauma and the disorders that present with acute trauma and PTSD, such as dissociation, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, grief and loss, and self-injury. Together we make incremental changes that adds up to a new way to see yourself, your life and every new day.
