My approach to therapy is a somatic based one.
I specialize in working with individuals who are looking to do deep inner work & who have been to traditional therapy before, but have come to an impasse. For those clients who have talked it all out, but continue to suffer, I offer an alternative approach. Many individuals whom I have had the privilege to walk with on their healing journey were facing things like depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, parenting difficulties & trauma. I am trained in EMDR, TRE & use these with clients as part of a wholistic approach. My intent is to provide a safe and non-threatening space to explore and release difficult histories.

My eclectic method merges talk therapy and somatic techniques, lifting physical stress and depression, building self-esteem, and teaching coping skills for codependency and relationship issues.
Are you a Black woman healing from the trauma of sexual abuse, sexual assault, or growing up in a dysfunctional family? Are you the change maker, setting out to resolve generational curses by breaking from "the way we've always done things"? Historically Black women have been the rock of the family, sometimes with devastating results. Chronic stress and unresolved trauma can cause physical symptoms like high blood pressure and emotional struggles with depression, self-worth, and boundaries. Add to that the cultural expectation that we should stay in a child's place and not air our dirty laundry, and it's a heavy burden to bear.

I believe therapy is a way to enrich life and develop connection in a space with compassion and free of judgment. My methods involve treating the whole person, mind, body & spirit. I believe it is important to identify and process emotion, non-verbal communication, somatic expressions and subconscious processes. Memories play a part in how our brains process and store meaning to life. Misinterpreted meaning sometimes becomes internalized and leaves us with unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As we work together we process those memories leaving undesired mind/body connections behind.

The reasons people don't seek therapy are complex. For many, therapy exists within the very systems that have harmed them, yet therapeutic practices (& therapists) often ignore these truths when they ask individuals to “take charge” of and “own responsibility” for the distress and trauma in their lives without that broader understanding, or worse, from a place of privilege or toxic positivity. Clients who decide to work with me should be ready to engage deeply and authentically. My approach is empathetic and requires accountability, radical honesty, and a commitment to the work of healing.

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.
