We use an integrated healing approach that blends various therapeutic modalities including somatic, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic practices.
Come as you are. Move at your pace. Find your way forward. If you feel ready for something deeper than surface-level fixes. If you're tired of just managing symptoms and want real transformation that honors your whole self. If you've tried quick solutions, but you're looking for healing that addresses root causes, not symptoms. If you want to understand deeper patterns in your life and relationships, and you're motivated to do meaningful work that leads to lasting change. If you deserve support that sees you as a complete person, not just problems to solve. We will work well if these statements are true for your healing journey.

I use approaches like ACT, DBT, CBT, and IFS, often weaving in somatic and relational techniques.
I’m a queer, nonbinary, chronically ill, and neurodiverse therapist who knows firsthand how hard it can be to exist in a world not designed for you. I work with trans and gender-diverse kids and teens, neurodivergent clients of all ages, and those living with disability to explore identity, navigate change, and make life feel more possible. In our sessions, we might laugh, cry, vent, or problem-solve - whatever the moment calls for. I show up candidly and without judgment, creating a space where you never have to justify who you are. My ethics don’t shift with politics; you are radically safe with me.

I find meaning in working with adults and couples who feel chronically anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or unsure of their direction in life. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware individuals who have spent years feeling misunderstood—by their families, partners, or even themselves. I often support clients navigating neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD, AuDHD), attachment wounds and the long-term impact of emotionally immature or critical parents. Transitions such as college to adulthood, relationship changes, aging parents, grief and loss, and midlife reassessment are common themes in my work.

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.
