Somatic Breathwork Therapy allows a safe space of exploration from within your body.
I often work with clients of all ages who desire to determine how to FEEL better through other options, such as using their breath during a breathwork session or utilizing the Safe and Sound Protocol. Both modalities support clients with anxiousness, depression and post traumatic stress disorder, to name a few. The modalities offered start with the feelings first through breath and music, then we discover the why afterwards. Often, you will not need to speak too much, but rather simply trust your body and what it wants to express, release and be recognized, while I guide your through the recognition process in a safe space.

I utilize methods and techniques from compassion focused therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, somatic experiencing, DBT, and IFS.
It’s important to me that therapy is a safe place where clients can show up as their authentic selves and leave feeling seen, heard, and understood. We will work together to build the skills and supports that empower you to live a life that makes sense for you. Pema Chodron explains how I experience the therapeutic process, “Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”

I use and promote evidence-based treatment approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MSBR), Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), along with somatic based techniques.
I specialize in helping individuals soothe pain, anxiety, and stress as a residual from chronic illness or injury. Those diagnosed with chronic illness / chronic pain often have anxiety and depression surrounding their illness. This can contribute to sleepless nights, shameful feelings, self-blame, fear of social situations, isolation, and anger. Within our partnership we will create a new awareness and understanding of the impact your illness has had on your quality of life and how this has created your current internal narrative.

I use modalities including DBT, CBT, narrative processing, emotion focused, somatic, and trauma focused.
The present world can be a beautiful and intriguing place-but when dealing with day to day stressors or mental health we tend to lose sight of this. It can be overwhelming to both witness and experience these challenges. I decided to become a therapist when I saw so many around me struggling to navigate life and wanted to be a part of change with hope. With our never ending priority lists, it's easy to at times feel like we are a burden when we experience challenges, but I'm honored to hold space for you! I take you trusting me with your story very seriously.

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.

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.
