You look in the mirror and see the "bad" traits. That you're not thin enough, not righteous enough, not "good" enough. You realize that these traits were projected there by someone else--a partner, or maybe even a parent. You want to recover from perhaps a lifetime of emotional pain and narcissistic abuse but you don't know where to begin...I specialize in treating adult children of narcissists, cult abuse/religious trauma survivors, and those struggling with disordered eating and body image issues. I can support you in developing your inner strengths so that when you look in the mirror it will be your true self staring back at you.

You have the capacity to heal; you just need the right conditions to support your growth. Working together can offer an opportunity to become "unstuck" from painful patterns. If you live with trauma and long to feel safe, we will honor your agency and address the impact of trauma on your life in small steps, so that you can start to feel better and more whole. In addition, clients seeking support for relationship challenges, grief, body image or eating concerns, and life transitions might find me to be a great fit. I work with many immigrant and international clients and identify as an immigrant myself.

I am an advanced master's student, in my last year studying clinical social work at Bryn Mawr College (Graduate School of Social Work & Social Research). I'll be graduating this coming May (2024). This is my second year of clinical internship, practicing as a therapist; this year at Main Line Counseling & Wellness Center. I truly enjoy connecting with & supporting all kinds of people, with varying topics that they’d like to focus on & get support with. Each person's ideas about what & how therapy should be are unique to them. I believe that however folks use the opportunity, it can be meaningful, useful, beneficial & valuable.

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.
