I conduct a detailed integrative assessment using a holistic approach that includes sleep hygiene, exercise regimen, somatic therapies, relaxation techniques, nutritional protocols, and psychotherapy.
Wellness = the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal. My ideal client is one that energizes my passion for integrative health. Many of those I have worked with have complex issues that are open to exploring the many layers of treatment that include assessing the mind, body and soul. I firmly believe that you can not get to your best personal level of healthy living without practicing an intersection of practices. Using a body-based and holistic approach, I see myself as a companion on the journey with individuals to building stronger self-awareness, personal growth and wellness.

I provide psychodynamic, somatic, and emotion-focused therapy for those dealing with anxiety and perfectionism.
I’m not doing enough. I’m behind. I’m almost (or already) in my thirties and I don’t have X, Y, or Z. Everyone thinks I’m doing great except me. I don’t know if I’ll ever reach the potential I see for myself. It feels like too much. Are these thoughts playing on a loop in your head? You might be dealing with maladaptive perfectionism and anxiety. You may be putting WAY too much pressure on yourself. Somewhere in your personal narrative lies the reason why you are applying so much pressure. Together, we can explore the past experiences and lessons that influence and shape your patterns and choices today.

While I'm a Somatic-based therapist, I integrate a Jungian lens, IFS & expressive arts, along with talk-therapy.
Do you identify as a highly-sensitive-person (HSP)? Deep feeler + thinker? Recovering perfectionist ...people-pleaser ...performer? Worry you are both too much + not enough? Struggle in relationship to self + others over the years? Dealing with quarter-life to mid-life transitions & challenges? Everyday overwhelm? Who-Am-I issues? Feel stuck but also ready for change? Together, we will explore how your past effects your present & co-create new ways forward. My main philosophy is: You are already whole & already know what you need (yes, even right now, as you're reading this). Most of us need some help to do so.

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are -Joseph Campbell. Together, we can really hone in on what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward, that best suites you. Often, the work is getting back in touch with your Self in a deeper way—like re-calibrating your inner compass. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic, somatic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and soul such as Jungian, IFS and transpersonal. Sex therapy is also a very important part of the work I do. Check out my website blog to learn more details about how I work

Is your "stuff" blocking your JOY??? I help professional women and men who despite having it all together on the outside, are struggling on the inside.

Or maybe you are dealing with emotional baggage that just won't go away.

Through a trauma informed combination of mindful based practices, dialectical and somatic therapies, we can uncover how your personal experience has shaped the way you make meaning in order to provide relief and initiate change.
My aim and joy as a therapist is to understand you as an expert on your own life. In order to process the complexity of everyday living, we compartmentalize and make generalizations about our experience. Sometimes we hold on to generalizations that may have served us at one point, but no longer apply to current circumstances. I concentrate on listening, non-judgmental questioning, emotional support and holding space for your process. My collaborative approach focuses on adaptation, allowing us to apply the methods that work best, while processing and making space for what does not work.

I use trauma-informed somatic, mindfulness and anti-oppressive approaches.
I help feelers gain clarity, energy, balance and joy. People I work with express that burn out, irritability and exhaustion hinder engagement with their passions. They worry about being overly sensitive or idealistic and express despair over the state of our world. Often feeling different and isolated, they long to connect with others who share similar values.

I am trained in somatic therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma.
You question if you are the problem or if you’re at fault for the issues in your life or what happened to you. From the moment you wake, your thoughts are racing, and through much of the day, you’re plagued with flashes of intrusive memories. The constant overwhelm causes you to struggle constantly, and it feels like peace is impossible. A voice in your head tells you to “feel your feelings,” but how do you do that without spiraling? On top of your inner chaos, the people in your life walk all over you without a care. You have been hearing a lot of talk of “setting boundaries,” but worry about pushing people away.

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.
