These include a psychodynamic Depth oriented approach, Buddhist psychotherapy, existential and somatic theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and a deep alignment with principles of ecopsychology and wilderness therapy.
For me, “psychotherapy has to do with…people playing together.” My therapeutic approach is grounded in practicality, metaphor, and paradox. Whether you want to examine your relationship to archetypes and epic tales, investigate the mundane and extraordinary beauty in doing the dishes, or delve into your style of relating to another being: bring all of it - it is welcome and deserving of your attention. Fundamentally, I am fascinated by people - our stories, our journeys and our capacities for grace and awe.

I utilize the relationship between the body and mind to help clients process traumatic events through somatic and/or EMDR approaches.
There are many reasons someone seeks therapy. Whether it is from years of not feeling good enough or a life changing event, I can provide clarity, help you develop a better understanding of yourself, as well as help you to process trauma. By building an understanding of each part of the self and how the mind and body interplay, we can lessen traumatic and unwanted responses and build self-reliance and self-worth. I have a collaborative, holistic, and solution minded approach to therapy. I specialize in working with those who are neurodivergent and/or members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Pain is a sign that something needs our attention. When we are not aware of helpful ways to manage it, we look to what is available to us to cope as a survival tactic. We might numb our symptoms through food, social media, strained relationships, substances, negative self talk, excessive busyness--leaving us feeling disconnected or in constant conflict with others & ourselves. I believe in truth, empathy, & belonging. I vow to create a space where you will not be judged but held in all that you are. I view therapy as collaborative. You are the expert of your story & I am responsible to help you get grounded to anchor it.

Do you ever get a “gut” feeling? Have a tendency to ignore that feeling or explain it away? In session, we will work to reconnect your brain to your body and increase the trust you have in your gut reactions to the things around you. Our bodies often hold on to memories and traumatic experiences in different ways than our brains do. These unresolved emotions oftentimes present themselves as physical symptoms; anxiety, a feeling of being stuck, panic, irritability and more. Together, we can change your perspective on your anxiety, help you heal, and work to become more authentically yourself.

Through somatic techniques and evidence-based therapies, you’ll be guided to reconnect with your body's wisdom, embrace self-compassion, and empower yourself to live a life aligned with your values.
Are you wanting to reclaim your authentic self? You want to be more in control of your anger and emotions, not be taken for a ride again and again. You "know better" yet are frustrated that you keep doing the same thing. Or maybe you're in a relationship that's disconnected and you want to revive the love and intimacy? These can be challenging issues to face alone. Unfortunately, many people learn to tune-out or dissociate in these situations, which can cause more difficulty and lead to feeling stuck or hopeless. I focus on integrative practices that address your mind, body, spirit and emotions - it's not all in your head.

Hi there! I specialize in helping people navigate the dark difficult edges of life. Darkness might express itself as depression, anxiety, persistent grief, a sense of isolation, suicidal thoughts, a feeling of being stuck, or... a whole mess of things unique to you. ​In therapy, we work together to build a container that can hold the inevitable fear that comes with exploring dark edges, and the rejected, heavy parts of ourselves that seem to keep getting in our way. It turns out, witnessing and caring for these troubled parts of ourselves, opens up possibility for deep joy, curiosity, emotional courage and life shifting compassion.

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.
