Somatic Therapists in Atwater, OH

If you are at a place where you are experiencing some difficulties in life, you do not have to stay in that place. I offer a wide variety of knowledge, experience, compassion, and empathy into my time with others. I enjoy infusing my work with a lot of humor, and creativity, while embracing the holistic model of the mind/body connection.

I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+. My goal is to empower and advocate for positive change within you, as the individual, and the system as a whole. The place that we will create together is a safe and judgement free space. I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.

I believe in personal growth and better family relationships. Because relationships give meaning to life, they need to be protected and nurtured. Learning effective communication skills is crucial to maintaining healthy relationships.

Every experience both firsthand and indirectly leaves a mark on our mind and bodies further shaping the view we hold of ourselves, others, and the world. Manifestations of mental, emotional, and physiological symptoms from these experiences can leave us feeling disconnected, adrift, or uncertain. I utilize the treatment approaches of Somatic, Mindfulness - Based (MBCT), and Trauma Focused while incorporating various forms of wellness such as yoga which can assist in peeling back the layers of the body and mind to re-align with the true self.
