Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles, constantly giving to others at your own expense? Maybe you find yourself sacrificing your own needs to avoid conflict, or replaying relationship patterns that leave you feeling empty and disconnected. When you’ve spent a long time in "survival mode," it’s common to feel a persistent anxiety, waiting for the other shoe to drop, even when you are trying your absolute best to hold it all together. You don't have to carry this weight alone. I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, and deep-seated emotional disconnection.

Additionally, I help patients with chronic pain through somatic training.
I use a therapeutic approach that I found helped me break through years of stuckness in my own therapy. My work with patients helps them move from analysis and overthinking, into feeling in their bodies and with me, so they can discharge stuck feeling and move forward. I help folks move from feeling self doubt, insecurity, and fear to a secure place of resolving their past and trusting themselves. I help patients navigate their defenses so they can tolerate being with the core feelings sitting underneath anxiety and depression. This process touches every part of a person life, especially connection to themselves and others.

Something quietly shifts when you've been performing "fine" for so long that
you've lost track of what actually feels true. Maybe you carry the weight of

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.
