When painful things happen in our lives, we do our best to cope with it and keep going. That might mean we get really good at “just dealing with it,” and “toughing it out.” Maybe we get really good at “checking out,” or maybe we become super skilled at coming up with clever ways to altogether avoid triggering situations. At one point in time, these skills served you well. And maybe they don’t any longer. Often, underneath these patterns anxiety and depression flood every day, drowning out our resources and making life difficult to enjoy. But changing these patterns and finding new hope can seem like an impossible feat.
So often we know something is off because of what we feel in our bodies. Your heart starts pounding, that turning in your stomach, breathing feels tight, maybe you feel disconnected. The key to finding relief is not just about thinking differently. When we can tune into our bodies as well as our thoughts, we can begin to take control of our lives.
I believe that you ultimately know what’s best for your own life. Sometimes it can feel scary to start therapy. What I usually tell my clients is “you’re in the driver’s seat.” I’m the copilot and have a map, and can point things out that maybe you didn’t see from your vantage point. Let’s figure this out together. Call or email for a free consultation.

Victoria is a deeply trusted colleague and a go-to referral for when my clients have loved one who are also looking for therapy. Her body-based approach is immensely effective as our bodies tend to hold on to trauma that needs to be released.

I use a combination somatic techniques focused on nervous system functioning and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a somatic practitioner I can offer a wider range of skills that will support your ability to manage difficult emotions. Making sense of how our thoughts and our somatic experience of emotions intertwine is often essential in creating the changes we seek in therapy.
