I offer in person (Colorado) & virtual (California & Colorado) sessions for adults and couples. I use somatic modalities including mindfulness tracking, breath work and co-regulated touch to adults who want to break patterns, better moderate their emotions, understand complex trauma and feel more confident in relationships. I work with couples to learn conflict resolution, attunement and emotional intimacy. As much as I work with couples to solidify connection, I also work with couples to consciously break up.

I incorporate mindfulness meditation techniques, somatic-based practices, parts and shadow work, and motivational interviewing to support you in identifying, honoring, and releasing emotions or narratives that impact your well-being or self-perception.
The healing journey often feels isolating or overwhelming; my goal is to compassionately accompany you through your process, meeting you where you are. Together we will co-create an affirming space for you to delicately dive inwards, to identify and unravel the beliefs that no longer serve you, and embrace your whole self. We will explore emotions, thoughts, and experiences from a place of care and curiosity. Through this process, we will help you connect with the roots of your true self, and identify what supports can be put in place for you to grow and thrive.

My specialities include nature-based and somatic therapy, grief & loss, spirituality, and identity issues.
I believe it's important to meet clients where they are and walk with them along their paths. Losses of all types, no matter how large or small they may seem to others, shape us in profound ways. Experiencing the loss of a beloved person or pet can cause us to feel as though life is out of our control. We all have inner wisdom and intuition to regain our paths to authenticity and live our best lives and through our work together, I will help you tap into these strengths. I am here to help you shape your "new normal" and provide support and compassion along the way.

Welcome! Finding a therapist can be a vulnerable and challenging task, I’m glad you're here. I work with folks looking to create new patterns, behaviors, and grow deeper connections with themselves. Are you someone who overthinks, analyzes, or is constantly stuck in your head? Have you been told in the past that you are “too sensitive” or things are “not that big of a deal”? Perhaps you have felt misunderstood or invalidated by those around you, causing you to isolate or retreat to your thoughts. If you're struggling with a harsh inner critic and seeking to move towards more self compassion, we may be a good fit.

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.
