I have completed training in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, addiction, co-occurring disorders, MI, and I am a certified sex therapist.
*Currently adding people to my waiting list.* One thing I have noticed through years of practice (with both teens and adults) is a need to be heard. To have your experience validated can be a monumental moment for introspective growth. Whether it is processing deep seeded developmental trauma, or expanding your self-awareness, I am willing to aid you on your personal journey. I vow to: never give advice, never judge you, never pretend I know more than you, or try and "fix" you. You are not broken. I will be genuine, provide a safe space, and walk beside you during whatever life may bring. I look forward to working with you!

As a society we are challenged by an overwhelming amount of expectations and stressors placed on us by the world. Anxiety is very real and many have experienced trauma or have their own struggles with depression. Reaching out for help is an act of courage and humility. Forsythe Wellness takes a Functional Medicine approach, viewing the mind and body as working together. This means looking at every area of a person's life to understand and address the root causes underlying the symptoms. Using a unique person-centered approach for each client, we will focus on impacting long-term change. Therapy takes place in a variety of settings.

“Logically, I know I shouldn't be reacting this way, but emotionally....that's a different story”. As a therapist, I can't tell you how many times I have heard some version of this from clients. Have you been struggling in a losing battle to fight off intense emotions like fear, sadness, shame, or anger even though you “know” better? Have you even had physical symptoms in your body like heart racing, muscle tightness, headaches, or stomach upset, even on days where everything appears to be “fine”?

Life, with all of its obligations, can feel so heavy. And when you’re disconnected from your partner, life feels even heavier. Maybe you’re afraid, deep down, that your partner no longer wants the life you’ve created with them. Maybe you worry that you constantly disappoint them. Perhaps the lack of sexual intimacy in your relationship has hurt for too long. When you’ve lost your connection to your person, it seems painfully impossible to get back on track, especially if there have been years of hurt and disconnection.

Finding a therapist that makes you feel seen and connected can be an overwhelming task, especially when you've carried your pain alone for so long. When trauma occurs it and overwhelms our ability to cope, it can often intrude in the present moment long after the threat has passed. I am a trauma therapist and understand how the impacts of trauma can bring a human into significant internal and relational conflict. Whether your lived experiences have led you to struggling with depression, anxiety, intense emotion dysregulation, or substance use; I am here to carry it with you.

Incorporating practical neuroscience to improve neurobiology, emotional regulation, calming the mind & body, reducing anxiety and fear. Bridging the gap between where you are today and your best- authentic self is the mission. Helping clients reduce and eliminate traumatic memories, automatic negative thoughts and rumination, patterns of self-defeating behaviors, and subconscious mechanisms is the primary goal.

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.
