I utilize a variety of methods, including cognitive, creative, and somatic to integrate mind, body, and spirit to lead to a more whole and complete sense of self.
I truly love working with parents. Whether you're experiencing tantrums from toddlers or teenagers, parenting through difficult stages can bring out the best and the worst in each of us. I bring my years as a teacher, foster parent, play therapist, and mother to walk along side you through whatever comes your way. Drawing from an attachment perspective, I work with parents to uncover current, past, and generational traumas to get to the roots of unhelpful coping patterns which may be impacting parenting decisions and outcomes.

You most likely feel overwhelmed or confused by your emotions. Perhaps you feel detached and disconnected from yourself and your experiences. You often stay busy and distracted to cope. You feel exhausted, the familiar coping strategies no longer work, and the consequences are catching up to you. But most importantly, you are ready for sustainable change. I help adult women dealing with the effects of attachment/relational trauma. By developing self-compassion and learning how their past experiences impact their current stressors, my clients make well-informed decisions that honor their values and contribute to their ideal future.

Because deep somatic and trauma processing cannot be rushed, I offer extended 85-minute processing sessions, typically meeting every other week to maximize your momentum while respecting your busy schedule.
You wake up already tense. Before your feet hit the floor, your mind is running.
What did you forget? What are you going to mess up today? How are you going to get through all of this? You don’t just feel stressed. Part of you is always on alert, trying to stay one step ahead of what could go wrong. You show up. You get things done. People rely on you. Even on your hardest days, you still push through. But inside, it feels like you are barely holding things together. Guilt, pressure and self-criticism don't let up. You may look around and quietly wonder: Why does life seem easier for everyone else?

I use a unique approach that interweaves somatic techniques into EMDR therapy which offers both visceral & emotional healing.
I'm a licensed professional counselor originally from Dublin, Ireland. Two key components of my practice are the teachings of Pia Mellody and laughter. I believe therapy is a collaborative process whereby together we can find what issues are hindering you from being the best version of you and develop a skill set to help you overcome these blocks. I practice therapy through a trauma focused lens using the model of codependence, EMDR, SE & polyvagal theory. I aim to provide a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment for you to embark on your journey, with a few laughs along the way.

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.
