I work with moms who are struggling with their partner and looking for a safe space to open up about the toll parenting has taken on their romantic relationship. You may be wondering if it's supposed to feel THIS hard to connect and get along with each other. Parenthood stirs up lots of issues that you never knew were there before kids. I will help you gain a deeper understanding of what is at the core of your relationship issues and how to confidently talk about those issues with your partner so minor disagreements don't keep leading to major blow-ups. It takes guidance, patience and practice to start healing what's been broken.

I provide ketamine‑assisted therapy and Somatic EMDR for people who live outside of “neurotypical" or "cisheteronormative” structures, and carry the nervous‑system toll of that.
You’re queer, non‑monogamous, neurodivergent, or kinky (or some mix of all of these) and you’re looking for a therapist who "gets it". You’ve done a lot of work, but trauma, depression, anxiety, or burnout still pull you back into the same loops, and you’re tired of endlessly analyzing yourself without feeling relief. You’re looking for a therapist who already understands your identities and relationship structures, and for a deeper shift than just adding more coping skills. And maybe you’re curious if therapy with me could help you feel more at home in your body, your emotions, and your life. If this sounds like you, I'm here.

I work from a trauma-informed, body-based ( somatic) and specialize in complex trauma and dissociative disorders.
I specialize in eating disorders, dissociative disorders & complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I have received additional training in order to administer the SCID-D (Structured Clinical Interview for Dissociative Disorders) which is used for assessing and diagnosing dissociative symptoms and disorders. Our bodies hold deep wisdom but for many, as a result of trauma, emotional and physical distress, and systemic oppression, to name a few, the connection to this wisdom has been disrupted and damaged. I will meet you where ever you are at in the process as we learn to listen to what your body and story hold.

Do you feel misunderstood, isolated, or defeated? A client may find working with me helpful if they are finding themselves stuck in patterns they want to change and are ready to explore how their relationships, identity, and lived experiences shape their sense of self. They may hold marginalized or complex identities and want a space where those intersections are welcomed and centered. Their goals often include feeling more grounded, more at ease in their bodies, more connected in relationships, and more empowered in choices. They want healing that honors both their individuality and their need for connection.

I feel passionately about utilizing art therapy while integrating a person-centered approach, somatic based approaches, narrative therapy, attachment theory, and using a trauma informed lens.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, specifically sexual trauma and childhood abuse/assault. But, I also have experience working with individuals who have depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC clients, and other child and adolescent concerns.

We need support, and need to feel safe in order to explore our emotional, somatic, cognitive, and spiritual responses to change.
I taught Loss and Grief to prospective counselors for many years. Loss comes in many forms - death, divorce, illness, disillusionment - and includes climate anxiety and grief. Support, understanding, and skillful guidance can make a difference. I am also certified to offer spiritual guidance as a different approach to inner work.

Have you been spending so much energy adapting and adjusting that you've lost touch with what you actually need?

My holistic approach draws from somatic therapy, mindfulness, IFS, emotion-focused, and behavioral therapies (CBT, DBT, ACT), honoring the whole self.
Each of us has an innate capacity for connection, meaning, and a sense of being at home in ourselves. Experiences of trauma, loss, oppression, or not feeling seen or understood can undermine that inner knowing. We learn to survive in ways that often make sense in context, by numbing, distracting, isolating, or adapting who we are to stay connected. Over time, these patterns may show up as anxiety, depression, addiction, or grief. They live not just in our thoughts, but in our bodies, relationships, and nervous systems.

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.
