Grounded in Attachment Theory, I incorporate somatic work, mindfulness practices, sand tray therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Psychodrama into my sessions.
For people who have experienced developmental/complex trauma, life can be incredibly painful with many different issues and symptoms that can feel so overwhelming. In therapy, we can help you access and work through the underlying wounding that has lead to the ways you have learned to protect yourself. I believe that at each person's core lays the capacity for deep healing and connection, and it is within the context of safe relationships that we can access that I believe that the therapeutic relationship serves as a sacred space where individuals can feel seen, heard, and valued without judgment.

I use an eclectic approach in which I incorporate somatic, IFS and existential modalities together with basic ideas gleaned from more cognitive and behavioral approaches.
You want things to change in your life, but you don't know how to make that happen. You feel confused and frustrated and wish the struggle would simply disappear. Maybe something doesn't feel right, but you aren't sure why. Perhaps you've already tried to reach out for help and nothing seems to work. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I can offer a compassionate and authentic space where you can sort through your inner world. Together we will explore your thoughts, emotions, wishes, reactions, memories, strengths and everything else that makes you uniquely you.

The techniques used are often simple, ranging from somatic work, kundalini yoga to psychodrama, internal family systems, and bioenergetics.
Do you want results? Are you finding that you keep getting in your own way? That your emotions, trauma, pain, old stories and anxiety are preventing you from living the life you are meant to live? Or maybe nothing is clicking for you, no matter how are hard you try. The good news is that there is always a way, a technique or subtle perspective that can and will shift you and your life. The catch? You need to be willing to step into the unknown and get uncomfortable.

Somatic therapy takes a whole body approach to wellness and healing.
Sometimes when life gets overwhelming or too busy, we can lose sight of the things that help us stay in balance. Before we know it, parts of our lives feel out of alignment. Perhaps you start to feel "on-edge," always waiting for "the other shoe to drop." Perhaps you forget to breathe, your muscles feel too tight, or sleeping becomes a challenge. Maybe relationships feels challenging and it's hard to "turn off." You may even begin to believe the biggest lie of them all; that you can't have success and also be well. We all have the power to heal ourselves. Therapy helps us access that ability.

Every person has their unique journey to healing and self discovery. In experiencing my own life challenges, I found healing through immersing myself in mindfulness practices and looking deeper within myself. Since then, I knew my purpose was to help others heal in their life journey as well. I have since have been helping others achieve their personal goals of understanding themselves, their relationships with others, coping with their fears, and embracing new beginnings. Sessions are approached from a traditional and holistic perspective, giving consideration to the overall mind, body, spirit, and emotion of the person.

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.
