Somatic Therapists in 93720

Hello! Where do I begin? I'll start by asking you what brings you to seeking the support of a therapist like myself. Are you experiencing panic attacks and/or other strong feelings of discomfort in your body without knowing why it's happening? Are you experiences feelings of being stuck when others have told you that you should simply "get over it"? Do you find yourself re-experiencing traumatic events as if they JUST happened?

Taking the first step to begin therapy can be overwhelming and anxiety inducing. We all have times when we need support and reaching out is the beginning of healing. My passion for helping others comes from the healing work of my own trauma and experiences with PTSD. It has become my goal and purpose to support others in living a happy, full, productive, and healed life. As a trauma-informed therapist, I integrate somatic approaches to support self-empathy and self-acceptance. In addition, I utilize meditation and breathwork to help clients stay centered and mindful of environmental stressors.

My passion is to help you get immediate relief, manage symptoms and truly heal from the underlying causes of your distress. I believe you can obtain emotional healing from life's struggles whether from childhood and adult traumas or present circumstances. My approach is to empower you to work through your struggles, resolve traumas and discover what works for you. I have helped individuals heal from anxiety, trauma, abuse, grief, depression, transitions, and family/relational issues. I feel strongly about having an individualized plan that fits you and using cutting-edge methods that truly can change your brain.

Are you surprised by how difficult life is right now? Is anxiety and overwhelm consuming you in a specific area of your life? Maybe something is going on around you which has you feeling powerless to find your way through. Together, I'll guide you towards confidence, clarity & healing for what comes next.

Healing from life challenges can feel confusing, overwhelming, and lonely. I believe therapy should be a process of growth and change that can support you with understanding how to heal yourself. My goal is to guide you through this process and help you to find the clarity, meaning, and tools you need to live a fulfilling life. As a practitioner, I will work to build a safe space for you to feel heard and seen, unconditionally as you are. My approach is eclectic and humanistic, which encourages you as the expert of your life to use your intuition to find solutions to challenges.

Feeling constantly on edge and overwhelmed? Has your relationship with yourself taken a back seat as you put others first? Stress built up over time is exhausting and draining to your physical, emotional, and mental well being. Wether it is personal concerns or the regular stressors of life you don' feel like yourself anymore. You may be experiencing unexpected adjustments in your profession, relationships, children's schedules, social life, finances and living arrangements. I want to help you find yourself again and create a more satisfying and authentic future. Let's collaborate to help you be calm, clear, connected and confident.

I am passionate about working with couples, children, teens, young adults, and adults, with a special interest in trauma, anxiety, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ mental health. As a therapist, I value being genuine and transparent with my clients. I believe in using a mixture of honesty, acceptance, humor, and compassion to meet my clients where they are. My approach is directive and supportive, especially when working with couples. In my work with couples, I enjoy helping couples learn to improve their communication with each other, resolve conflict, improve intimacy, and heal emotional wounds which can create distance in the relationship.
