As a Solution-Focused, Gottman Cert. Therapist, I aim to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. We will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions by applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques. With 30 years of experience, and a Board Certified Diplomate, I must earn double the amount of continuing education as other therapists with an LCSW. My passion has become couples therapy, and I have recently become an " expert" in the field.

Therapy is hard work. It is also full of humor, humanity, clinical guidance, check-ins, a-ha moments, advocacy, and a sprinkle of magic I have been told "she will meet resistance with patience, gentleness, and freedom for you to exist exactly as you are" in the therapy room. You deserve to show up exactly as you are; all forms of you are always welcome. I've found when you show up as your most authentic self, the work can really begin. Asking for help may be the first step in calming the ongoing chaos.

Are you mentally and emotionally exhausted from constantly trying to 'figure out' the meaning behind your distressing thoughts? Perhaps checking things, counting, or ruminating temporarily relieves your distress until you find yourself NEEDING to do them over and over again. You're tired, overwhelmed, hopeless, and afraid. You want relief but find security in the chaos. You're not alone.

“Is this relationship ending or can it be repaired?” You need a fighting chance. Affairs and sex addiction consultations upon request. When betrayal trauma happens, it’s important that you find somebody trained or experienced in supporting you through this. Women’s groups help the trauma and relationship. Men’s groups address the addiction and how to help their partner. Day 1 of finding out about infidelity, porn addiction, or sex addiction is commonly called "D" day - or discovery day. My personal story and professional experience can help. Support and guidance are the key for crisis. Next is stabilization, reconnecting.

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.
