I work from a variety of perspectives that can help you connect with this inner wisdom, through depth psychology, somatic (listening to our body) work, mindfulness, meditation, and Brainspotting.
Our frustrations with life and emotional pain are often rooted in unexpressed parts of ourselves of which we are largely unaware. Challenges or life transitions (expected or unexpected may create disruption in your life as well as awakening awareness of problematic patterns and pain from the past. You may feel stuck in patterns of bad relationships, loss of identity, or lacking meaning in life, even when you know you want to break free. You may be defined by your job or family role, but what else are you? What joy or meaning is missing in your life from not knowing all that you really are?

Divorce, career changes and loss are changes not endings. If you're getting in your own way, it's time to put an end to self-destructive habits. How does unwavering support and relentless compassion sound? Maybe you've invested time looking at your past to analyze the original source of your present day challenges.

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.
