I use a holistic, client-centered approach that weaves together EMDR, somatic therapy, CBT, Narrative Therapy, and more.
Whether you’ve faced overwhelming life events or been impacted by repetitive, ongoing emotional struggles, trauma can live in the body and subconscious mind—shaping patterns of anxiety, disconnection, or emotional numbness that can be hard to understand. If you experience anxiety, depression, relational challenges, PTSD, or feel stuck in repetitive behaviors or thought spirals, these may be signs of unresolved trauma. Healing begins by bringing gentle awareness to these inner wounds and working with them in a safe, compassionate way.

My approach is person-centered and integrative, drawing from somatic (mind-body), mindfulness, self-compassion, and creative techniques.
I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and the lasting impact of relational wounds, trauma, or difficult early experiences. Many feel stuck in negative patterns, disconnected, or unsure of their identity and direction. In therapy, we create a safe, supportive space to explore these experiences, build self-awareness, and begin shifting patterns so you can feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

You may not have considered therapy before because openly discussing personal struggles might not align with the customs of your life or culture. However, if you find yourself experiencing symptoms such as persistent low energy, difficulty concentrating, or feelings of irritability, tension, or restlessness—it's essential to recognize that you're not alone. While these experiences are common, it's equally important to acknowledge that hope and assistance are readily available. If starting therapy is making you feel overwhelmed by fear, shame, or uncertainty, rest assured that you don't have to navigate these emotions alone.

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.
