In your daily life, you're a competent and confident adult - you've done the tough work of shedding life scripts that don't suit you and perhaps even reclaimed your power as a LGBTQ+, nonmonogamous, kinky, or neurodivergent person. When things get tough in the relationships that matter the most, however, you find that you feel alone, stuck, or adrift. You know there's a worthwhile life beyond stress, grief, and anxiety and you're ready to take it back.

I combine sensorimotor ( somatic) therapy with a parts work approach, alongside mindfulness/acceptance to support you in deep healing.
Do you feel like you’re overwhelmed and numb way too often? Is your internal chaos screwing with all your relationships? Have you tried therapy that turned out to be mostly venting and was entirely untransformative? I help overwhelmed people pleasers like you move from numb to present & embodied by healing relational trauma. My approach is gentle, direct, authentic, and hella nonjudgmental; we'll talk about systems of power and oppression and how they’re impacting what you’re feeling and experiencing. In our sessions, you're welcome to be fully you- messy, tired, silly, human.

These methods include somatic (body-centered) techniques, guided visualization, alternate bilateral stimulation and art depending on the client's interest, comfort level and clinical recommendations.
Have you tried traditional "talk therapy" in the past but are still stuck? If you're feeling hopeless, overwhelmed and anxious I encourage you to try a different approach. Together we will dive deeper to get to the root cause rather than immediately trying to fix the problem. It's always more complex than it appears on the surface and this work takes time and effort. I offer more expressive and experiential modalities to help you make meaningful, lasting changes and take you beyond just talk therapy. I take a holistic and integrative approach and see you as a whole person and not just a person with "issues."

Existing and attempting to thrive in traumatic times of uncertainty under oppressive social systems can feel incredibly daunting, especially if you hold identities that society marginalizes. Oftentimes, it’s our life histories, circumstances, environments, and relationships that lead to feelings of distress. Coupled with general life stress, it's no surprise that you might experience depression, anxiety, sadness, frustration, and anger associated with this. Rather than being “weak” or “not good enough”, you may merely lack the tools, perspective, or resources to cope. Fortunately, it’s not something you have to face alone.

My ideal clients are children and families who want to better understand each other and find ways to manage big emotions together. Many of the children I work with struggle to express feelings like anger, sadness, or worry, and parents often come in wanting to support their child but feel unsure how. They’re seeking connection, peace at home, and a space where their child feels safe to just be themselves. I use African-Centered Play Therapy (ACPT) to help children express themselves through play, creativity, and storytelling.

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.
