I believe that genuine presence, authentic connection, and a welcoming sense of curiosity, inspires each client to recover and overcome. I hold genuine and positive regard for my clients which enables me to encourage and support them as they come to understand the origins of their challenges and how to meet and transform them. I counsel individuals (ages 17 and up). My practice focuses on transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, spirituality and meaning and highly sensitive persons (HSPs). My commitment is to discover the strengths and gifts of each client so they may discover their true self.

In today's world, we often find ourselves disconnected from our loved ones, communities, and ourselves. The challenges we face can be more complex and layered than we may realize; just like us. It can seem daunting to take on healing (new or old pains) on our own, and we often feel we should or have to go it alone. As a therapist, my goal is to partner with you in building upon your insight, empowerment, fulfillment, and practical agency for healing. We are active participants in both the challenges we face and the solutions we create; within accountability lies empowerment.

The therapeutic relationship is transformative and at the root of our work together. It is my honor to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families working to heal from past traumas, gain perspective and insight, and strengthen and deepen their most important relationships. I currently work primarily with couples, co-parents, as well as individuals and folks in non-traditional relationships. Perspective is an incredibly powerful tool and one of the many gifts of therapy. I utilize an eclectic blend of theoretical approaches depending on client's needs and desired outcomes.

Life hands us many experiences, why walk through it alone. Things beyond your control, struggling with internal experiences, or have a desire for self growth? Together we can identify what's contributing to things as they currently are and work to shift beyond barriers and develop aspects that build a greater sense of life satisfaction. How can we grow if we do not have new experiences and possibilities? Therapy can provide just that.

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.
