Expressive and somatic techniques are woven into our dialogue to connect elements of your experience and promote regulation in the nervous system.
I provide art therapy, psychotherapy, and trauma therapy. Services are personalized in a compassionate supportive environment that encourages curiosity. Art-making is always optional, I also integrate sensory-based approaches and talk therapy informed by the wisdom of the body. These engage the parts of the brain that develop pre-verbally. Sessions include choices and collaboration for you to co-create the best fit for your needs. We all get stuck sometimes. When clients are stuck, I offer a couple of paths or ways to begin. Sessions occur at my art studio located at the new Compass Art Center in downtown Kensginton.

My expertise lies in providing evidenced-based therapy to individuals and families experiencing challenges in relationships. Clients come to me to explore how to be a better parent to their children or how understand themselves and grow after trauma and neglect. Often they discover there is a deep relationship between the two.

I have been working with children, adolescents and adults for over 35 years, using a mind-body approach to help people understand and resolve their concerns, and live their lives to the fullest. I specialize in trauma, including medically related, emotional, physical and sexual abuse and those difficult to manage situations that continue to haunt us despite our best efforts.I also specialize in eating disorders. I find Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to be highly effective with both eating disorders and trauma.

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.
