I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and a Certified Gestalt Therapist.
I bring over 25 years of clinical experience to my practice as a psychotherapist. It is my belief that we each have a quiet place of truth within us that has been buried by the demands of life. Our habits and beliefs hold us back from our true nature and the life we desire. Together, we will work in the present moment to increase self awareness, uncover obstacles, and access this place of inner truth and strength. In my work with clients I often see individuals struggling with relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, life transitions, and the effects of trauma.

Using a somatic and relational approach, I help clients reconnect with themselves from the inside out — working with the body as a doorway into the kind of change that talk therapy alone often can't reach.
My work focuses on nervous system regulation, building a stable sense of self, and helping clients — especially neurodivergent adults — find safety, freedom, and full self-expression. Whether you're processing past trauma, managing anxiety, or navigating a life transition, I'll work alongside you at a pace that feels right for your system.

As a neurodivergent person, moving through a world built for neurotypical people can be an overwhelming and disempowering experience. When social pressure or trauma leads you to mask who you really are, it can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and/or a sense of not inhabiting or controlling your own body. Sometimes, the more you try to fit in, the more alienated you become from yourself and those around you.

I am also currently training in Somatic Experiencing to become certified in this modality.
Helping others meet their wellness goals is a passion of mine, and I believe everyone deserves to be heard and valued. Having worked in service fields for many years the transition to counseling was a natural progression for me. I am excited to work with individuals in one-on-one counseling as well as in a group setting. Over the course of my adult life I have worked extensively with individuals battling obesity, binge eating disorder and food addiction and something that I have learned is that guilt and shame are roadblocks that prevent us from moving forward.

If you have trouble creating boundaries, default to people-pleasing to avoid conflict, or overthink and question yourself constantly, these are all symptoms of an unbalanced and under-appreciated Self. Just like a fever lets us know we have an infection, life problems let us know something deep within us isn’t right. We don’t blame the fever, we thank it for alerting us to the bigger problem. Using life’s challenges as a guide, we work together to build the foundation of self you need in order to live an enriching and fully human life. This work benefits not only yourself but also your loved ones and the rest of our human family.

I offer an opportunity to be immersed in the mess and beauty of healing, to discover and be curious about how to move beyond those blocks.

My approach is grounded in attachment-based therapy, and I integrate modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), psychodynamic, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and EMDR to support deep, lasting healing.
Many of my clients are creatives, professionals, and people seeking deeper emotional shifts who want to understand long-standing emotional and relational patterns and heal from complex trauma. Therapy offers more than relief; it can be a path toward safety, meaning, and genuine connection.

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.
