I use a holistic, integrated approach to wellness which may include inner child work, mindfulness and meditation, Ketamine assisted therapy, somatic release exercises, and/or movement-based therapy.
It can be exhausting to feel like you've tried it all and keep getting the same results. While on the outside, you seem to have it together, on the inside, you're dealing with chaos. You've tried to set goals, but your mind is too scattered to be consistent. I can support and empower you to be a more healed and powerful version of yourself and break free from sabotaging behaviors. In a world where most people wear masks, it's a privilege to see a soul. This is how I see my role as your therapist. To see past your pain and help you uncover your true inner light.

My specialties include trauma-informed nervous-system based therapy, behavior interventions, internal family systems (ifs), somatic therapy, EMDR, and ACT.
Despite having stressful experiences, you are high-functioning. You go to work, you pay your bills, you have meaningful relationships, and on paper, you seem 'fine' from the outside. Inside, you are thinking of the worst case scenario or experiencing an overwhelming amount of thoughts and feelings that "just won't go away". You don't feel great, have unprocessed trauma, and you want to start feeling better. You want to move beyond tolerating trauma and stress, and feel good emotionally and physically. From a nervous system perspective using trauma-therapies I want to empower you in your healing, I know you can feel better.

As a somatic therapist, I offer a deep, whole-body approach for transformative healing to help you find deep fulfillment.
It’s hard to remember a time you weren’t in survival mode. No matter what you do, nothing is making a difference. Things from your past might keep popping up & derailing your day, and with everything else going on, you don’t even feel like you know yourself anymore. Therapy before this might have even felt like it only scraped the surface, leaving you alone to try and figure out what to do next. It’s exhausting & the crazy thing is, nobody would even guess you’re feeling this way because you’ve got this image of “having it all together,” but deep down you know the cracks are getting bigger. Something has to change, but what?

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.
