I draw from evidence-based cognitive and somatic approaches, tailoring care to each client’s needs, goals, and real-world demands.
Is your teen feeling overwhelmed by school pressure, academic expectations, or constant comparison? Are they struggling with anxiety around tests, performance, time management, or feeling like they can never quite “catch up” — even when they’re capable and motivated? Many teens today are carrying an enormous amount of pressure. Between academic demands, social expectations, and constant digital stimulation, it’s common for stress to show up as anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or self-doubt. Therapy can help teens make sense of these experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and build confidence.

I am certified in HMR, a somatic technique to release stored trauma in the body.
My desire is to provide each client the opportunity to find HOPE. Hope for understanding, healing and growth. Hope for freedom, joy, and peace. Hope for wholeness and real, true rest. The truth is, life is hard. We often find ourselves confused, disillusioned, disappointed, angry, sad, afraid, addicted or simply numb to it all. The process of counseling can and does often lead a person to a place of newfound hope, where one can experience the broken parts of their stories and relationships restored.

You don’t have to keep pretending you’re “fine.”
Many of the people I work with are exhausted from being the “strong one,” the fixer, or the person who keeps everyone else afloat. If you’ve been pouring from an empty cup, you’re in the right place. I believe that healing should feel human- not stiff, not clinical, and definitely not like a TED Talk. My style is warm, real, and guided by EMDR, attachment-based work, and family systems approaches, helping you explore old patterns and build practical skills to feel more grounded and in control.

As a doctoral-level trained Clinical Psychologist and Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist with advanced training in Somatic IFS, EMDR, AEDP, EFT and relational psychoanalysis, my approach is integrative, trauma-informed, somatic focused, neuroscience backed, and attachment theory based.
Clients contact me for psychotherapy when they desire greater emotional depth and transformation in their emotional healing and personal growth journeys from someone who values professional excellence. Many clients have overcome tremendous adversity, achieved remarkably in professional settings, yet continue to struggle in highly particular, personal and painfully repetitive ways. My clients need a safe, focused, respectful relational space marked by compassion, kindness, calm, and curiosity in order to courageously explore the depths of their inner lives. My clients want greater self-awareness, inner calm and enhanced well-being.

I specialize in Internal Family Systems based life coaching, Somatic Release and Transpersonal Psychology
I work with adults needing emotional support and specialize in releasing shame and guilt from experiencing trauma. In session we address the parts of your personality that hold protection over the wounded and vulnerable inner child and we release the frozen emotions that keep that inner child fearful, insecure, withdrawn, or stuck. When we feel burdened with negative feelings, it is easy for us to become angry, depressed, have low self-esteem, or be easily triggered because the unresolved energy remains.

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.
