I believe the patterns we struggle with often started as ways to survive. Substance use, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, shutting down, or feeling stuck can all be signs of an underlying battle. I want to help you face that battle without shame and equip you with tools to reclaim your freedom.

Does your mind understand what happened to you but your body doesn’t quite feel settled? Or maybe you can’t make sense of any of it yet. It’s hard carrying around thoughts and feelings in the mind and body from the past; the past feels so much alive in the present as you walk through life. That is how unresolved trauma and emotions often feel. It’s important to help the whole person (body, mind, and emotions) heal from past wounds through a supportive and integrative therapeutic approach.

You’re a couple who still cares, but something keeps breaking down. Conversations escalate or shut down. Intimacy feels fragile, strained, or confusing.

This is a Two Hour intensive session to understand the mechanisms of healing in your relationship.

If you’re like me, you know what the right thing is. After all, you’re the expert on you. But that’s just the problem, isn’t it? You know the right thing, you know what’s true, and yet still you struggle with self-criticism and doubt. You know you can’t be perfect, and yet you feel shame for not being enough. And you don’t know how to reconcile what you know with what you feel. Truthfully, this is a common problem. But just because it’s common, doesn’t mean you have to go along with it.

I take a depth-oriented, integrative approach using Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and somatic trauma work, along with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
I work with people who feel stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break—no matter how much they’ve tried. They’ve done the thinking, the talking, the coping… yet something deeper keeps pulling them back. My clients are ready to go beyond surface-level change and understand what’s truly driving their experience so they can create lasting transformation. The way you feel right now is not who you are—it’s a pattern, and patterns can change.

My work integrates emotion focused, somatic, and mindfulness based approaches.
Maybe you have been carrying a lot for a long time. You might feel disconnected from your emotions, shaped by complex trauma, mother wounds, or the tension of navigating identity as a biracial person. Many of my clients are teens and women who learned to shrink, stay quiet, or disconnect to survive. Now they want something different. They want to understand themselves, feel safer in their bodies, and take up space in their lives without apologizing for who they are.

Parenthood can be a wonderful time in a person’s life and one of the most trying. For many of us, parenthood isn’t what we thought it would be and that can bring up new and old wounds. Pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting can feel overwhelming and isolating whether you’re dealing with pregnancy loss, complications, postpartum depression or anxiety, or difficulty in regulating your own emotions while you help your kids regulate theirs. Many parents struggle with body changes during and after pregnancy and throughout life changes, and I’m here to help navigate the discomfort in dealing with these body changes.

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.
