My somatic, secular therapy style is laid-back, encouraging, and non-pathologizing, creating an atmosphere where you can feel challenged and yet comfortable.
Are you feeling completely drained? Is the constant fight against anxiety and stress wearing you down? Feeling like you’re running on an endless treadmill, low on energy and getting nowhere, can be so exhausting. The painful situations that have hurt your heart, and the expectations of modern life, are heavy to carry alone. Imagine the relief you’ll feel when the pace of your life slows down, those negative self-critical thoughts quiet, and your joy begins to grow with every day. You deserve to live your best life, freed from the chains of suffering and worry.

I use Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory, and Somatic Therapy tools to help my client's go deeper into their lived experience and make sense of what's troubling them.
I come to this profession with a drive to bring forth honesty, self-discovery, and self-compassion with each person I work with. At my core, I see therapy as a transformational process that helps people to become empowered and unburdened. Through a process of safely unearthing, re-wiring, and re-writing our lived experience, therapy can bring about a shift of perspective that can have a ripple effect of positive changes in someone's life. As your therapist, I use a psychodynamic, strengths based approach in our work together. I take this process and your time very seriously, as it can be a life changing investment in yourself.

We will teach you how to reintegrate and use your somatic (body) intelligence for feedback can help manage stress and channel anxiety towards meeting your goals.
Clients who work with Elite Performance Counseling, PLLC (EPC) want to regain their performance edge. High-achievers often struggle with anxiety—it comes with the territory. Those who achieve a lot of success in life, however, are often assumed to “have it all together.” The truth is high-achievers deal with enormous amounts of pressure to achieve bigger and better, which frequently results in unhealthy levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and ultimately a drop in quality of life. Our ability to feel healthy is impacted by how well we can leverage the mind & body so that stress can be managed and power/potential can be maximized.

Narrative therapy and the Hakomi method, a somatic mindfulness intervention, are the primary modalities I use to help clients explore consciousness.

I welcome the discussion of challenging issues and topics related to infidelity, jealousy, sex and kink, grief and loss, and relational/spiritual trauma, especially if those issues intersect with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC identities and/or non-traditional relational dynamics including polyamory, non-monogamy, single parent, and blended families.

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.
