I believe that true emotional healing comes through holistically tending to the body, mind and spirit. I offer full range psychotherapy services that I combine with several Somatic or body-based techniques. As a registered Yoga Teacher, I have been known to incorporate meditation, breathing or physical postures in my sessions. The research shows that trauma, grief and the after effects of some of our experiences are stored in our bodies. What better way to heal or release them from our bodies than to intentionally use body exercises to move this harmful trauma energy out for good. I work with new mothers, children and families.

I've practiced as a psychotherapist 19 years and worked with clients of all ages and from many diverse backgrounds. I work principally with clients with anxiety, depression and/or trauma. Many clients come to therapy looking not just for solutions and relief from suffering, but also to find connection and understanding that's missing in other parts of their lives. I work hard to establish a comfortable environment where clients know their choices are respected, but where they can be challenged to learn new ways of thinking and acting in order to truly feel better.

Would you win a gold medal for keeping the peace? Do you constantly sacrifice your needs to help others, but don't get the same energy back? Have you felt your chest tighten or butterflies in your stomach when asking for help, even if you needed it? Despite what you've achieved, a part of you doesn't believe she is good enough. You've tried using positive affirmations, but they didn't sound or feel true. Maybe you've tried therapy before and felt like you were just venting. You feel exhausted, burnt out, and stuck. All you want is to trust yourself, feel balanced, and release what no longer serves you.

My treatment approach is integrative, and I tend to utilize more trauma-focused, IFS (Internal Family Systems), EMDR, somatic and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques but it depends on the person and what works best for them.
Sometimes the decision to engage in psychotherapy can be daunting and overwhelming. You may have been contemplating the idea of beginning therapy for some time or it may be that an experience or something in your life has triggered the decision to begin seeking support and/or a change. Many people begin therapy because they are experiencing sadness, depression, anxiety, grief/loss or can't articulate the reason but know something is different and they just don't feel "right". Old coping mechanisms aren't as effective and/or you seek a different unbiased perspective.

Why am I like this? Seeking the answer to this question is the reason people want to work with me. I believe everyone deserves to know, love, and accept their whole self. Through the therapeutic process you will learn the skills to understand your past experiences and face future challenges with more confidence. Healing and self-discovery are long-term investments for yourself and the people in your life. There is no “one size fits all” solution, which is why I incorporate elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, DBT, Somatic Therapy, and Attachment Theory into my therapeutic approach.

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.
