I also incorporate mindfulness, somatic processing, expressive arts, and play therapy techniques.
I became a therapist because I believe people can do hard things. Regardless of where your path has led you - or has yet to lead you - as your therapist I will meet you where you are and empower you to find your inner strength. Everyone is at a different stage of their healing journey and I will walk alongside you on yours. When we work together, your sense of safety and security is my biggest priority; I firmly believe healing cannot happen in the presence of judgement. I welcome and celebrate all identities and appreciate the individuality of your experiences.

"Ego says, 'Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace.' Spirit says, 'Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.'" (Marianne Williamson). I believe that peace and quality of life is achieved by working in reverse. That is, going inward to rediscover the divinity that rests in you. My objective is to encourage clients to use their strengths and resources to recognize their inner wisdom, thus allowing them to become their authentic self. Working together, we can identify barriers to wellbeing, explore solutions that empower, and expand awareness.

I take a holistic, body-centered approach to support your healing by using EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and processing emotions and past trauma.
You're trying to hold it together but inside is a rollercoaster of anxiety and stress. Overthinking and worrying runs your life and feeling relaxed seems impossible. No matter what you do, you feel overwhelmed with emotion or you numb out and feel nothing. You've been called "too sensitive" and feel like you're too much for people in your life. Maybe something happened in your past that still affects you and you wish you could get over it. Trauma and emotions feel trapped inside and you feel like you're in survival mode 24/7. You're tired of feeling this way and you're ready for a shift in how you experience life.

I utilize somatic-centered therapies to help you along your journey to reconnect to that truest sense of self, the one that knows your inherent worth.
Are you feeling disconnected from the people around you? Do you have a sense that some inherent part of you is less worthy than others? You are not alone; it is unfortunately not uncommon for people who carry trauma, especially identity-based trauma, to feel this way. When an integral part of who you are has been attacked, either in one big way or every day in a series of smaller harms, it can leave you feeling as though you are not deserving of the things you need, much less those that you want. I am here to empower you to reclaim your innate wisdom.

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.
