My trauma-conscious and life affirming approach integrates creative expression, somatic therapy, holistic healing, and storytelling to help you emotionally heal, cultivate meaningful relationships, and Live With JOY.
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. Because as smart, bold, and fabulous as you may be, sometimes our "stuff" gets in the way of us living, loving, and working with JOY. Maybe you are struggling in a complicated relationship, be it with a friend, family, or lover? Or feeling like you have no purpose in life or aren't living abundantly? Or maybe you are dealing with emotional baggage that just won't go away.

A typical treatment plan may involve a combination of somatic therapy, polyvagal-informed interventions.
Life can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re carrying more than your share, whether from past trauma, new transitions, or the silent weight of expectations that never seem to let up. As a therapist with Honeycomb Wellness Group, I offer a safe, respectful virtual space where you can pause, breathe, and be deeply supported—no matter where you are in Michigan.
Though I’m physically located in California, I work exclusively with Michigan residents via telehealth, and I strive to make each session feel personal, grounded, and connected. Many clients are surprised by how intimate and effective virtual therapy can be, especially whe

I provide psychodynamic, somatic, and emotion-focused therapy for those dealing with anxiety and perfectionism.
Hi, I'm so glad you are here! I know that anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions can disrupt the connection between mind, body, and emotions. When these parts of yourself are disconnected it can be challenging to access calmness, confidence, curiosity, creativity, and clarity. You may find yourself saying "I know what I should do but I'm not sure why I don't do it." or "I feel numb, I can't seem to connect to my feelings." Together we will work to understand blockages, support your nervous system, and help every part of you get on the same page, and in alignment.

I use a holistic, somatic approach, integrating both body and mind to foster healing on multiple levels.
You haven’t felt like yourself in a long time. Despite your best efforts, it’s been hard to fully show up—for responsibilities, loved ones, or even yourself. You have dreams and goals, but taking those first steps feels overwhelming. It often feels like you’re expending all your energy just to get through each day, aimlessly spinning your wheels. You are ready for support in building a more fulfilling life. I work with teens and adults affected by ADHD, depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folks. I’m here to offer the understanding and guidance you deserve.

I am particularly interested in integrating somatic approaches into therapy.
My style of therapy is rooted in building upon clients’ existing strengths, harnessing their inherent resilience, and supporting their natural evolution towards healing. I intend to cultivate a spirit of curiosity in sessions, inviting clients to experience a sense of safety and experiment with new strategies for managing emotions and developing healthy relationships. I work with individual clients of all ages on a broad range of concerns/objectives - trauma, grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more.

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 practice relational and somatic therapy with inner child work from a trauma-focused and neurodivergent approach.
You want to feel good about yourself but you don’t. You feel different, like other people don’t understand you, and you just want to be normal. You have so much shame about the things you’ve done or been through that it seems impossible that you’d ever love yourself. On top of that, you’re constantly anxious or depressed about something (or nothing!) and your symptoms leave you feeling like something is seriously wrong with you. All you want is to feel better about yourself and to feel happier and more at peace with your life. You want to be able to be your true self in your relationships and to feel loved and accepted for it.

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 often operate from an IFS & somatic lens, with a mix of other theories as well.
As a queer therapist, I am extremely passionate about caring for my community in the ways this career allows. I take pride in ensuring my sessions are a safe and supportive space, and I am part of the communities I serve. I am trauma informed, sex positive, kink knowledgeable and neurodivergent affirming. I meet every client where they are at and see them as a person, not a set of symptoms to be "solved" or "fixed". I embrace the fact that healing is non-linear (and often messy!), and encourage my clients to cultivate compassion for themselves and the varied journeys that have led them to my virtual space.

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.
