Are you looking for a holistic alternative to traditional counseling - one that goes beyond talk-therapy and helps you get to the root of the problem? Would you like to learn how to release stress, negative emotions and reactions, and the subconscious programs that are driving them, in a way that's easeful and practical? I specialize in a somatic (also called body-informed) approach to counseling and coaching.

I am licensed in South Carolina and Montana and offer Teletherapy to clients in both states. I lived in Montana for 30 years and currently reside in Upstate South Carolina. Therapy can be a helpful tool to manage stress, cope with grief or loss, improve relationships, and to make sense of traumatic experiences. I utilize a trauma informed approach in my work to support clients on their journey of healing and growth. Change is truly possible in a positive therapeutic relationship where feelings, thoughts, and behaviors can be explored and understood in a safe and respectful way. I look forward to see where the journey may take us!

Your life has not turned out how you had planned or hoped. You are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, substance use, or loss. You find yourself trying to solve this discomfort by repeating behaviors that provide temporary relief, but ultimately lead you further away from the kind of life you want, and the kind of person you want to be. Instead of stuck, exhausted, desperate, and dissatisfied, you'd like to move through your life with confidence, compassion, clarity, trust, creativity, curiosity, and centeredness.

Confusion, shock, and fear have wrapped themselves around your body and held you in place. “How can I move on from this?” you ask. Your world came to an abrupt halt, so you’ve been falling behind. While everyone else seems to keep living their lives, you’re frozen. You don’t see how there is any way out of this anger and sadness. You’ve tried numbing yourself or keeping yourself distracted, but it doesn’t help. The hollowness has left you with no idea how to proceed into a life you didn’t want.

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.
