Based on my 25 plus years of working as a clinical therapist, I believe that given the right support, everyone has the ability to resolve their issues and rewrite the stories of their lives. As each individual's path to wellness is unique, I utilize an integrative, holistic approach tailored to each specific client to optimize the therapeutic experience and ensure the best possible outcomes. Challenging life experiences can lead to people becoming stuck in negative, self-defeating patterns. I can assist you in determining the right course of action to take in order to achieve the clarity, self confidence and courage required to heal. Move forward and break free from unwanted behavioral patterns and limiting beliefs! I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents. I have developed an immense toolkit of therapeutic techniques over the years to share with my clients. I am steeped in Eastern as well as Western treatment modalities, and enjoy incorporating somatic, sound, and mindfulness healing techniques into my work in addition to the more traditional forms of cognitive and behavioral therapies.

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.
