My work further interweaves a strong focus on somatic and depth psychology, infused with Reiki healing and breathwork.
I am so happy that you made it here. Though I do not know the many steps that led you to this page, I can imagine the road has been dark at times. It was like this for me, too - a thousand lost steps in the dark. The healing journey can be wrought with confusion, uncertainty and self-defeat. I learned early on that this journey is not meant to be walked alone. Over the years, I have integrated many wisdoms into a realized practice for the whole soul. And in gratitude, I'd like to share with you what I've learned.

With a foundation in Somatic and Holistic psychotherapy.
Are you facing the challenges of overwhelming life circumstances? Having trouble managing trauma and anxiety? Often, the thinking patterns we have accumulated throughout our lives are operating below the surface and become the very things that get in the way of the life for which we long. We may not be able to change the situations that happen to us but we can change how we perceive them and how we respond. With years of experience my passion is working with individuals, children/teens and families to develop a plan to create a happy, healthy, thriving life.

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, helping clients to feel more grounded and integrated in a sometimes fragmented world.
Do you want to make changes, but feel unsure where to begin? Maybe you're in a period of transition and struggling to feel grounded. These are situations we all experience throughout life. They're part of being human, but that doesn't make them any easier to face. We all deserve to live meaningful, purposeful, and authentic lives. Often it takes a collaborative effort to get to that place, and that's where I believe I can help. I work with clients to support them in sharing their stories, identifying values and making changes.

I utilize a holistic and person-center therapy style, taking a mind/body/soul approach through the use of inner child work, IFS, ACT, CBT, somatic embodiment, and other therapies depending on the needs of each client.
Your boundaries could use some work. Your self-talk is more negative than positive. Your inner critic is loud. Your self worth and esteem are not where you'd like it to be. You're not fully living in your values and can't seem to understand why you keep hurting yourself through self-sabotage and broken promises in the process. BUT you're ready to do something different. You're ready to make change in your life. I see you, and I want to help you to help yourself get out of these negative cycles. If you're reading this, you're already considering that you may need support. Whatever it is, you don't have to carry this weight alone.

As a trauma-informed professional, I use a variety of interventions ranging from somatic to cognitive, to meet the individual needs of my clients.
Welcome. My name is Samatha and I specialize in areas often related to interpersonal trauma such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and issues of social inequity. Interpersonal trauma can include anything from childhood trauma that occurs in the family of origin, to ongoing discrimination in everyday life. Often times, trauma interferes with our ability to trust others and the world around us. This makes it very difficult to feel safe and secure in our own skin. It can be challenging to engage in the present moment and feel fulfilled, and it can compromise our health in many ways.

What is SE? Somatic Experiencing® method is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma, chronic pain and other stress disorders.
My clients often come to counseling feeling broken and lost from grief and unresolved trauma, struggling with anxiety, fear and depression. Past experiences may have led them to believe they are only their brokenness, clouding any other awareness of who they are or what their life holds. I offer a safe, supportive environment to begin to explore those experiences and discover strength, healing, and resilience.

I use EMDR, IFS parts work, and somatic therapies to help you reconnect with yourself.
Is decision-making stressful for you? Do you often second-guess your gut instincts? According to Dr. Gabor Mate, the first impact of trauma is the separation from the self. Another way trauma disrupts our lives is that it causes disconnection from other people. We move through the world with mistrust and isolation. Isolation is lonely and painful. I work with individuals and couples impacted by trauma, disruptive thoughts, and anxiety.

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.
