Some of these approaches include EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness work, relaxation/visualization techniques, self-hypnosis training, as well, as more traditional CBT and solution-focused talk therapies.
My clients often come to me because they feel discouraged about resolving the challenges they are facing. Though troubling, depression, anxiety, conflict are often an invitation for us to take the time to focus inward, understand core issues underlying the symptoms, and learn more about our true needs. With this new awareness we may consciously choose new actions that help us develop a more fulfilling future. Through our work clients tell me they enjoy greater self esteem, more confidence that they can create what they want in their lives, and happier, healthier relationships with loved ones.

I ground myself in somatic, emotion focused and attachment-based approaches, but will always develop a unique way of working with every person.
It is hard to be overwhelmed and feel emotional pain. It is hard to be human. Our work can help turn your wounds into wisdom, your unnecessary suffering into more internal freedom and a new vitality in life. I tend to be a good fit for people who are not only looking for immediate relief from emotional pain, overwhelm or emptiness, but are also drawn to exploring the deeper patterns contributing to unnecessary suffering in their lives.

I have a somatic and mindfulness-based orientation, so our work has the potential to go deeper than talk therapy.
I am here to help you listen to the signals of your body, mind, heart and relationship that are calling for a new way of being. Often these signals come in the form of conflict, sexual blocks, loneliness, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief; I believe they are an initiation. Something is out of sync: you know all the "right" things to do, and yet they still don't seem to get to the heart of the problem. You are beginning therapy because part of you knows it would be more uncomfortable to continue "business-as-usual" than to open to change.

I don't just like people, I appreciate people. I truly appreciate those who have suffered traumatic events and/or critical incidents (or years of them) and keep going. Walking alongside those who are hurting is my life focus. I am a retired law enforcement officer and have extensive experience working with people in crisis and chaotic situations. Though I never served in the military myself, my family has a very deep military history and there are many parallels between the careers.

Interactions with a loved one can bring out the very best and worst in us. If the dynamic with your partner or child/teen is a repeated source of pain, I am here to help. Instead of trying to understand each other, most make accusations & get defensive.

If you've tried talk therapy, meditation, and other cognitive approaches yet keep lapsing into old cycles, it's time to try something new! Our "state drives story," meaning our nervous system and primitive brain directs our thinking; often, it's not the other way around. Also, the healing journey is not a one-size-fits-all experience, so I draw on my training in EMDR, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy, attachment therapy, somatic therapy, wilderness therapy, Polyvagal theory, and addictions counseling to best meet you where you are in your process.

Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychotherapy is my core approach.
Relationship challenges, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and trauma are common issues I work with in adults. I specialize in marriage and family therapy, which includes non-traditional partnerships. I primarily work somatically, other orientations I use are: parts work (IFS), trauma reprocessing, and psychodynamics. Are your past experiences impacting your present? Do you have an unhealthy pattern which you struggle with such as addiction? If so, it’s likely you’ve experienced trauma in your past. I help my clients identify these traumas, and learn healthier coping mechanisms so they can alleviate their stress and/or PTSD.

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.
