Somatic Therapists in Fox Chapel, PA
Our clients are changemakers, leaders, creatives, caregivers, and people craving deeper connection—in love, life, or both. You’ve mastered holding it together—at work, in relationships, maybe even in therapy—but it’s costing you. You show up for everyone else, yet under the surface you feel resentful, disconnected, or just plain tired. You’re burned out from over-functioning, exhausted by people-pleasing, and quietly craving a life that actually feels like yours. You’re not broken—but the tools that got you here aren’t working anymore. You want freedom. Let’s get you there.

I draw from ACT, somatic practices, mindfulness, and humanistic & transpersonal psychology.
The weight of trauma, loss, or change isn’t something you have to carry alone. A nervous system on edge, bracing for impact. A loss that lingers. Not feeling like yourself. Chronic pain or thoughts that won’t quiet. Together, we slow down and safely make contact with what’s here. Our partnership is rooted in creating safety, expanding self-compassion, and supporting your unique neurobiology and experiences. With a specialization in Art Therapy, we may engage in art-making as a grounding tool and also as an embodied process that can create a visceral shift in how we see and process experience.

It’s the end of the day and you sigh to yourself. Another day of feeling “not good enough.” You’re worn down by that cunning voice in your head that always lets you know what you could have done better. Everyone’s a critic. Family, friends and colleagues all seem to have their own ideas about how you should be handling things. Not accustomed to acknowledging your feelings, you feel an agonizing sense of frustration with life. Though you have tried convincing yourself your life is not so bad, there’s no excitement as you stare into the future that’s waiting for you. There must be a better way – but you’re not sure where to turn.

I enjoy working with people struggling with stress and anxiety from the pressures of life whether that be related to relationships, academics, career, or leadership dynamics. The people I work with are looking for deep understanding of what is bothering them and the tools for lasting change.

I hold various leadership positions and understand the pressures and lonliness that comes with leadership. I also offer leadership advising and coaching to CEO’s and leaders in medicine, law, family businesses, and nonprofits.

Regardless of what brings you to therapy, my goal is for you to feel more grounded, present, and engaged in your life. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in mindfulness-based therapy. I focus on creating a space where you feel understood and supported.

When we are able to shed feelings of shame and be vulnerable, we are able to dream, to embrace change as possible and then practice it. When we become aware of and in tune with our emotions—one of the many things that institutional injustices make more difficult—we learn about ourselves, our capacities, and our needs. We can then set boundaries and improve our relationships. We are then able to help ourselves with clear intent and invite our communities to support us. Areas of practice include depression, anxiety, attachment wounds, non-monogamy, relationship issues, sexuality and gender identities & issues, HIV, and self-worth.

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.
