I come from a trauma-informed approach with EMDR Certification, IFS-Informed, and in Somatic Experiencing Training.
Sometimes, the pain we carry feels too heavy for words. Counseling offers a space to gently explore that pain, giving it room to breathe so healing can begin. We may not be able to change the past, but together we can focus on where you are now and work toward the life you want moving forward. It’s okay if the process feels overwhelming—you're not in it alone. With the right support, change is possible, and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

You made it. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if it's your first time, but showing up matters. Burnout, stress, and life transitions can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions. You might put on a brave face or try to hold it all together. Whatever the reason, you're not alone and it's okay to not be okay. Therapy offers space to pause, breathe, and find your footing again.

Sessions can include somatic regulation, or parts-informed work to help the nervous system release old patterns, not just talk about them.
Maybe life has started to feel heavy. The tension in your home feels constant, your teen is pulling away, or your relationship no longer feels safe or connected. Old wounds might keep showing up in new ways even when you try to move forward. You have tried staying strong, keeping busy, or staying quiet, but something inside you knows it is time for change. You want peace, connection, and practical tools to help things feel whole again, not perfect but real and healthy.

Does anxiety, stress, or unresolved trauma keep pulling you out of the life you want? Has depression dulled your sense of joy or made everyday tasks feel heavy? You don’t have to carry this alone. Therapy can be a steady place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and build skills that actually help between sessions.

Sis, you’re holding it down for everybody, but inside you feel drained, anxious, or just not yourself. Maybe you’re trying to bounce back from a breakup, dealing with family drama that wears you out, or just tired of the constant stress of work and relationships. On the outside you look like you’ve got it together, but deep down you’re craving peace. You want to feel grounded, confident, and like the best version of yourself again.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with your current situation? Do you feel your life is out of control? Are your relationships suffering? I believe you have all you need to become empowered to create necessary change and lead an intentional and fulfilled life. Empowerment is achieved through compassion, connection, and guidance, elicited from your perceptions of reality and desired goals. As you embrace your own resilience, value, and self-esteem we begin the healing process. I believe this process starts with the connection of mind, body, and soul which enables you to deeply connect with others.

My approach combines Structural Family Therapy, Brainspotting, IFS, Polyvagal, Narrative, Somatic, and Mindfulness techniques.
You don’t understand why your family causes you so many sleepless nights. You need someone to talk to but feel shame bringing up family issues or you don’t know where to start. You try to please everyone but you end up being the unhappy one. You cut off toxic family relationships but this leaves you feeling guilt, loneliness, and resentment. To prove yourself, you work hard and sometimes overcompensate. Past unresolved issues consume your energy, make you question yourself, and become hesitant to try a new relationship. You don’t want to be your parents but you don’t know how not to. You doubt if you can live a different life.

Leading others through ministry has been rewarding, but the constant grind has brought on exhaustion, chronic unease, physical problems, and anxiety. Unfortunately, these are "normal" in your life. You’ve had to press forward to achieve goals and suppress your own needs. When others see your life, they see someone who has it together, but you know the chaos inside. You have ideals you never seem to meet, leaving you feeling demoralized. You would give almost anything to have real REST, but no matter what you try, you cannot relax or find peace. You know this is not how you are meant to live.

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.
