Morton, IL 61550
Often, counseling focuses on the symptoms of emotional struggles and never addresses the root causes. My deep interest in people, problems, and processes has allowed me to recognize the complex patterns of individuals, life experiences, family, trauma, relationships and how these have influenced the way clients see themselves and the world around them. With grace, understanding, and support, I seek to help clients understand how their past has shaped them, discover how ensnaring behaviors began (and continue) and then to restore dignity, well-being, and relationships.

I am a seasoned pain and medical psychologist with an extensive career in chronic pain , health management and psychopharmacology. I work closely with other referring medical providers and encourage the integration of self-management skills to bolster the effectiveness of the medical intervention. For the sake of better outcomes and achieving patient goals, it is best when the medical treatment and psychological treatment are introduced and monitored jointly. When psychological treatment is considered less important or secondary, coping and adjusting are delayed if not completely compromised.

The body truly holds on to trauma that self endures...until it does not. We have the power to release this through various somatic works, one of which includes conscious connected breathwork. The cyclical breath pattern helps your mind release stored emotions, tension and so much more because the body tunes in. This is conscious connected breathwork. This bottom up approach is a different way of processing stored emotions, leading to both physical and mental improvements. This modality is ideal for those seeking a deeper processing or perhaps, you may be tired of "talking" about it. Breathe through it.

We will work together to build the skills and supports that empower you to live a life that makes sense for you.

Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”

Transforming Touch and Somatic Experiencing focus on the reality and wisdom of the physical body: sensation, movement, image, emotion, self-pacing, meaning, and support.
Most of us humans have experienced trauma or simply too much stress. Thoughts, body sensations, and images/memories/dreams can cause more emotional and physical pain--and vice versa. To get rid of these unwanted things completely may be expected goals; but to diminish and manage them with less pain or tension is more realistic. To be understood by others, to feel more safe, to feel supported, to receive usable feedback and new ideas--these are goals I will surely help any client experience. Somatic Experiencing facilitates clients in moving forward, at their own pace, building more resilience self-acceptance and confidence.

I take a somatic based approach intertwined with evidenced based techniques to achieve your goals.
Feeling disconnected, confused and lost can find its ways of disrupting some of the most important roles in our lives. Our relationships at home and work can begin to feel like they are failing. A multitude of personal and professional circumstances have given me a front row seat to these experiences. Trauma, grief, anxiety, anger, depression and broken relationships. Each can take us farther away from how we want to operate in life. Like a body of waters shoreline, the waters come back to connect. Finding the first step in that connection is hard. I would love to help you start repairing those connections and healing within.

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.
