I am supported by frameworks such as somatic integration (TRM), psychoeducation rooted in neuroscience, relational theory (The Gottman Method), & transpersonal & ecological therapies.
I believe that we all deserve a space that feels nurturing, empowering, creative, affirming and accepting of all parts of us, especially when exploring life challenges and learning about ourselves. Through a relational therapeutic approach, I feel this emerges when we collaboratively create a relationship together; through experiencing relationships that reflect safety and the exploration of relationships, learning and insights naturally unfold. My intention is to emphasize your strengths and resources, offer flexible interventions, and to bring in humor, delight and play whenever possible.

My approach utilizes somatic awareness, interpersonal process, and attachment theory with a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship.
I believe that “trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.” I work with those who have experienced various forms of trauma, including shock, developmental, medical, relational, and religious trauma. I also work with those experiencing forms of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and those experiencing systemic and cultural forms of oppression. I believe that everyone has the right to a nurturing and supportive space, and strive towards the ongoing creation of an inclusive environment for all.

Clients often tell me, they were told: there is nothing more that can be done...for their poor gait, pain levels, anxiety and depression even mood swings. Somatic education and therapy is another option. Judy will guide you to greater self awareness so you can notice your unconscious holding patterns and let them go. Once helpful, these old patterns may be holding you back. The use of gentle movement and touch is freeing and releases the deep seated and often unconscious patterns of pain and trauma. Judy will help you find a way around it...with gentleness and fun.

Are you ready to make changes in your life to support your emotional growth? Do you want to put in the necessary effort to improve your outlook, inner strength, and confidence? Each client will feel supported through skill building, learning, and growing to set achievable goals, accomplish those goals, and have a positive impact on themselves and those around them. The majority of my clients experience depression in different levels of severity. Some come to treatment and need medication as well as talk therapy.

We know that our bodies and our minds are connected. In my office we work with both to help you make the progress you've been hoping for.

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.
