My approach combines Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), CBT, attachment-based and somatic work, and feminist therapy.
Are you a woman who has spent years putting everyone else first — managing the needs around you while quietly losing track of your own? You may feel exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or uncertain how you got here. If you've been shaped by difficult relationships, faith or cultural pressure, family expectations, or past trauma, you already know that carrying it alone isn't working. Therapy here is a space where your voice is finally treated as the authority on your own life. You don't have to shrink to fit here.

Together, we’ll create a collaborative relationship built on empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard—because I believe that real change begins with feeling understood.

Using Internal Family Systems (parts work), trauma reprocessing, and somatic practices like mindfulness, breathwork, and nervous system work, I provide a grounded, compassionate space to heal wounded parts, and reconnect with your authentic self.
The clients I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and emotionally deep, yet still feel shaped by past trauma or patterns they can’t seem to break. On the outside they may look put together, but inwardly, they find themselves overthinking, feeling disconnected from their authentic self, or longing for a deeper sense of peace.
I specialize in helping clients heal the lasting impact of trauma and reconnect with their inner wisdom. In our work together, I offer a trauma-informed, grounded, compassionate space where you can safely process old wounds, and begin to feel more whole, embodied, and at home within yourself.

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.
