I encourage non-verbals: mind-body-spirit somatic work, art-making, music imagery, mandalas to deepen your awareness.
Ideal clients arrive when confused, something is missing, not working well, emotional discomfort, loss or chaos in life. Together we look at thoughts and patterns that limit growth/well-being to begin to create more of what matters to you. As you discover solutions and find hope in everyday life, personal wisdom often emerges to guide you. My goal is to empower you as you transition into your best self and move towards wellness. Currently I offer Therapy, Music/Creative Arts Sessions, Mindfulness-Stress Management Practices, Life Coaching, Sandtray, Other Experiential Modalities.

We often start a counseling journey because we are experiencing emotional pain. My hope is that I can join with you on your healing journey, and that you come to see the journey as a gift. A gift of becoming authentically and transparently you. A gift of healthier, stronger relationships. A gift for living your best life.

According to Charles Swindoll, “Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.” This quotation implies that "responding" to life is easy, doesn't it? But the truth is, life can be messy, and navigating its ups and downs can be HARD. I love supporting people in becoming empowered to feel less like a victim to life's circumstances and more like a confident, joyful, loving protagonist in the story of their lives. Whether working with individuals or couples, I do my best work with adults who feel stuck in patterns that are no longer serving them, and are looking for relief, and fast.

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.
