BSP is a somatic therapy that targets unprocessed trauma through our field of vision.
Shoot, you just stayed too late at work, ate a whole bag of chips, and zoned out in front of a screen for hours. Where did the time go? You turn to these habits to help you numb out and feel safe—because right now, nothing does. You haven’t had sex with your partner in months, and that’s the least of your relationship concerns. You feel exhausted and emotionally shut down. IF only you could focus. As a survivor of trauma or sexual abuse, this is a completely normal response. Your coping mechanisms once protected you, but now they’re holding you back from the life you want—one with more connection, presence, and meaning.

I work with women and young adults across Texas who are struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, or hormonal and reproductive health challenges. Many feel disconnected from their body, overwhelmed with food or stress, and stuck in patterns that are hard to break. You may feel like you’re trying your best but still can’t feel grounded or in control. I provide a supportive space to help you reconnect with yourself and move toward a more stable, balanced way of living.

Have you tried talk therapy and felt that, while valuable, it was taking a long while?
I interweave treatment modalities, such as Somatic Experiencing and EMDR, in a warm and caring way that creates an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance which is tempered by the ability to challenge clients for optimal growth. I believe that the best answers in treatment arise from within the client, while also knowing that the right insight at the right time can support psychological and spiritual growth.

Waitlist for new clients
I have specialized training in Trauma and Grief Component Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Somatic Experiencing Therapy and am passionate about staying up to date with evidence based interventions.
Growing numbers of adolescents, adults, and families are dealing with issues stemming from anxiety, depression, lack of connection, finding purpose, grief, and loss of control in an ever-changing world. Therapy can look a lot of different ways, but most importantly it is an hour of time dedicated to getting to know yourself and building a meaningful future.

What sets me apart is that I incorporate movement, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation into the therapy.
My top priority is creating a therapeutic environment in which patients feel comfortable and accepted. I am here to support your desire to feel better, and together we will tend to the root causes of whatever is bringing you to therapy. I’m also a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist, which means that I pay attention to the whole person- mind/body/spirit. In session, we will take time to “be with” emotional discomfort- which is much more manageable with support. I hope to create space for your unique process of expression via non-judgement, while simultaneously helping you identify coping tools that are easy to access at all times.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I specialize in working with adults and teens who feel stuck in patterns that prevent them from living in alignment with their values, aspirations, and authentic selves. My clients are often high achievers dealing with stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and/or feelings of emotional loneliness. These symptoms can result from trauma, unresolved grief, perfectionism, and/or emotional overcontrol.

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.
