I believe that all the resources a client needs to heal are already within them. I don’t view therapy as only talking for one hour each week, but instead I offer a systematic path of growth – one that will give you as much as you put in. I work from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach that aims to heal the “roots” of our psychological issues, rather than only managing our symptoms. I also help clients build a practical “toolbelt” of coping-skills they can use throughout the week to manage their internal experience and transform it over time.

No one gets through life without collecting emotional cuts and scars. Some cuts seem too small to matter much, but continue to be triggers for anger, depression and anxiety. I have been using Emotional Freedom Techniques (also known as Tapping) to promote healing of the triggers. As the triggers heal anger, anxiety and depression lose their grip on life. Special notice for VETS: TheTapping method is the most effective treatment for battlefield traumas I have found. While working with IBM I acquired a Masters Degree in Counseling from Loyola of Baltimore and later I earned a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work.

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.
