Welcome to The Center For Somatic Healing! If you feel like you've tried everything to move beyond the pain, loss, or abuse you've experienced, you're not alone. Regular talk therapy can help, but sometimes you need more.

I focus on working with adults and adolescents who are experiencing a wide variety of psychological distress. Through my professional experience I have helped individuals who have encountered different forms of trauma, domestic violence, loss, relationship distress, family conflict, depression, anxiety, and those struggling through major life changes or adjustments, including sobriety. Every person is unique along with their circumstances, so I will focus on their needs in counseling by utilizing different therapy approaches such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and interpersonal therapy.

You're here because some part of your life has gotten out of hand. I use down-to-earth techniques that are designed to nourish the human spirit. I incorporate research-backed methods (including EMDR and attachment healing methods) to overcome limiting perceptions of self and the world. I help families & people of all ages find personal security & balance in their relationships.

I have 16 years of experience as a clinical Social Worker and I specialize in key areas of cognitive behavioral therapy for mood, EMDR, cognitive processing therapy for PTSD/trauma recovery work, substance abuse/codependency, LGBTQIA, consensual non-monogamy, and grief and loss. I incorporate mindfulness, meditation, movement, nutrition, neuroplasticity, and art therapy into my practice as well. I spent 9 years working with a VA hospital so I have a hefty amount of experience in working with veterans issues as well.

I am currently accepting new clients. From birth to death, life is a constant transition. I work with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples, and families, who are experiencing a wide range of symptoms including infidelity, breakdowns in communication, high functioning Autism, trauma, sexual abuse issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and grief. I have extensively researched issues and stressors that today's LGBTQ+ clients and families may be experiencing, and work with transgender clients to gain the appropriate gender affirming care.

Life is hard. Sometimes we all need some support and guidance to get us to a healthier/happier place. In my practice, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), among other research-based approaches, to help individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful change. By focusing on acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings rather than their elimination, I assist clients in fostering psychological flexibility and resilience. Through compassionate exploration of values and committed action, clients learn to align their behaviors with their deepest aspirations, leading to a more fulfilling life.

I believe that human beings have an inherent longing and need for wholeness and balance, which is our natural state of being. However, we sometimes encounter damaging or traumatic events or long term stress that interrupt this natural state. When we are imbalanced, we develop psychological and/or physical symptoms, and we begin to use ineffective coping mechanisms. The good news is that with the right tools, these struggles can be used as a path back to the wholeness we seek. Having worked with clients for over twenty years, I know firsthand the power of using our difficulties to point the way towards healing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Dealing with anxiety or feeling as though you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop? Suffering from sexual and/or relationship issues? Maybe you're not sure where to start or you've tried therapy in the past and it wasn't a good fit. Life can be hard and you are not alone in your journey. As a licensed therapist and certified yoga instructor, I weave traditional talk therapy with mindfulness and meditation practices to offer you a multifaceted approach to therapy. Taking the first steps in your therapeutic journey can be tough. KUDOS to you for taking those steps. You're worth it!

As a licensed mental health therapist my goal is to offer you a safe space to process your emotions, restore balance to your nervous system, and build greater self awareness. Specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, I use research supported trauma therapies including EMDR and Internal Family Systems.

My counseling approach is grounded in strengthening the client’s natural tendency towards healing, resiliency, and adaptation. I strive to empower my clients, and believe in a therapeutic relationship that is built on collaboration and trust. This allows me to provide my clients with the tools they need to manage challenges - helping them identify and implement more adaptive and healthy ways to resolve conflict and explore opportunities for growth.

Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is one of the most important steps of the therapeutic journey. Feeling safe, heard and valued is its own healing force. When coupled with an interactive experience of expressing emotions and gaining new perspectives, therapy can profoundly impact your life. Whether you are looking for a tune up or a major overhaul, we will work together to get you back in the driver’s seat again.

My speciality is building close rapport with my clients who have told me throughout my years of counseling they feel able to talk with me openly. I believe this is due to the fact that I adhere to the Rogerian Principle of unconditional positive regard and a non-judgemental stance. Treating others with respect and dignity facilitates true self-examination and an opportunity for personal growth. Close rapport is the foundation that will maximize the effectiveness of my cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, treatment that will allow you to quickly reclaim your sense of well-being and optimal level of functioning.
