Your relationship is no longer the safe and loving experience you signed up for. What was once a sacred space, a peaceful home, has now turned into a battleground over the smallest things, like a lost remote control. Communication has all but broken down. You and your partner used to be each other's biggest fans, but it’s more like you are roommates now, going along with the motions. Your emotional connection has dwindled, along with a fulfilling sex life. You long to go back to when you found comfort in this person, but you don’t know how. You’re still in love and determined to make things work.

Using CBT, somatic awareness, and energy psychology I help adults build sustainable regulation, not just manage symptoms.
My ideal clients are self-aware adults and professionals in their late 20s to 50s — functioning well on the outside but quietly overwhelmed inside. They come exhausted by anxiety they can’t explain, a nervous system that won’t settle, and a home environment that feels chaotic in ways nobody has connected to their mental health before. They’ve tried to think their way through it. They’re intelligent and capable but their body hasn’t gotten the memo. Together we identify what’s driving their patterns underneath the symptoms, build real nervous system regulation, and move them from surviving their days to feeling grounded and present

For People Who Want to Go Deeper. You may have tried therapy before—learned coping skills, gained insight, maybe even felt temporary relief. But something still lingers: the same struggles return, the same patterns repeat. My work is for individuals who seek more than temporary solutions. I am a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist. Psychoanalysis goes beneath symptoms to uncover the unconscious forces that shape your life—early relationships, buried grief, unspoken desires, and the dynamics that repeat in your present. “Psychoanalysis isn’t quick or easy—but for those who enter it, the change is profound.”

Within each precious life, change is not only possible but inevitable. We can’t always avoid adversity, but we can always choose our response to it, and it is within this choice that we can find the potential for growth and freedom. Therapy allows us to pause, step back, reassess the situation we are facing, and finally to move in the direction of self-care, fulfillment and joy. My decades of teaching and practicing yoga/meditation have profoundly informed my therapeutic approach, allowing me to draw on a blend of Eastern mindfulness and Western cognitive psychology.

Have you spent your years holding everything together on the outside but inside you feel anxious, burnt out, and constantly behind? Maybe you grew up walking on eggshells or are still healing from a toxic relationship that betrayed you or broke you. You might have tried talk therapy before, but knew that something deeper was missing. You’re in the right place if you're ready to finally heal on a deeper level, feel good about yourself, manage your ADHD in a realistic way, feel calm instead of anxious, or stop doubting your worth. If that's what you're looking for, message me or book a free 15 minute intro call to get started!

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.
