My theoretical lens combines Attachment based and Somatic theories.
For all of us, life can present us with unexpected challenges and transitions. These periods can be filled with overwhelming emotions and sometimes activate old wounds from our past. Starting a new therapeutic relationship can be a big step towards addressing what is happening and where you’d like to be. Let’s begin a collaborative journey to talk about what you are going through & identify your goals. We will bring mindfulness and curiosity to your experience in order to help you feel better. I highlight the interplay of our emotional health with our physical bodies, social environment & spiritual identity.

I have over 22 years of experience working with children and families. The principles of wraparound are a major component of my work as I believe that families are the experts on their own experiences, strengths and needs. Building an integrated team of both natural and professional supports can help a family meet their goals for themselves in a way that is sustainable.

I augmented my Clinical Social Work graduate studies with training in Reiki and somatic and holistic therapies under the tutelage of Anthony Sainz, PhD in New York City.
I help people to heal and grow. That can come in many forms. Perhaps it's learning to manage depression and anxiety. Maybe it's making sense of overwhelming or traumatic events. Perhaps it's learning to communicate better with partners, family, or friends. Maybe it's coming to terms with a chronic illness.

I primarily use bottom up approaches, such as IFS informed treatment, somatic work, polyvagal theory, and yoga, while using MI, & CBT when indicated.
Waitlist only for foreseeable future. Liberation and freedom starts with ourselves, and I’m grateful your curiosity has led you here. As a therapist I value open heartedness, curiosity, and compassion as the foundation for client-centered healing. In this work, I’ve found that clients often show up to therapy with high insight around their symptoms, but frustration because their knowledge hasn’t led to long-term changes. In a world where people feel they need to choose between intellectual knowing versus having and expressing their feelings, I offer a third choice where we obtain harmony between our head and the wisdom of our heart.

I am a trauma specialist, trained in Somatic Experiencing and certified in EMDR.
I believe that people have an innate capacity to heal and change. Access to this healing is sometimes blocked by negative and destructive patterns that are formed when there is a need to adapt and survive difficult, traumatic or overwhelming experiences. In a collaborative, empathic, and safe atmosphere, I facilitate people’s connections to their own resources and foster the creation of a compassionate self that is free to make mindful choices and unhook old patterns. Through psychodynamic and somatically oriented approaches, people find new insights and awareness, build resiliency and create pathways to greater fulfillment.

For folks who feel like therapy isn't for them, maybe somatic work can help.
I’ll walk you through what SE is and the shared language we need to have in order for the work to be effective. Then, we’ll dive into learning the building blocks needed to be successful together. After we’ve built those up, we can start untangling the knots in your nervous system and getting you on your way to feeling less stressed and more at peace.

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.
