Somatic Therapists in Seattle, WA
I am a clinician focused on both deep emotions and practical coping. My therapy style is to collaborate with Clients to find out what works for you the best. It usually arises naturally from our body as body is the container for whatever we've been through. I believe psychotherapy can foster our personal growth and empower us to reclaim our capability to nurture and take care ourselves. I am specialized to work on perfectionism, professionalism, depression, anxiety, panic attack, trauma, stress, autistic spectrum, emotional regulation, relationship, family of origin, and cultural/racial issues.

Like many healers, I pull from a variety of modalities, which may include narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, DBT skills, and somatic practices.
As a therapist, I am both direct and warm. I work to approach our time together with curiosity and acceptance.
My approach strives to be grounded in compassionate witnessing for who you are, what has happened to you, and what you have made of those experiences. I may be a good fit for you if you are looking for a provider who provides tangible tools as well as a grounded space to process.
I also provide supervision for associate-level clinicians.

My theoretical orientation is founded on strengths-based, relational, and somatic modalities.
Maybe you've spent time processing your past and the patterns that shaped you, but you find that some things still feel hard to shift. Anxiety, ADHD-related overwhelm, relationship stress, numbness, or trauma responses can continue to affect your relationships and sense of self, even when you understand where they come from. I work with people familiar with therapy who are looking for a more embodied and compassionate way to deepen self-understanding. These patterns used to protect you, but now they no longer fit the life you’re trying to build. Together, we’ll work toward self-trust and more choice in how you respond to life.

DBT, Solution Focused Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Approach
I work with a variety of issues and concerns, but passion and primary focus is helping people work through trauma. I use a variety of methods, which include DBT for distress tolerance, ACT, and EMDR. In the true spirit of EMDR, I believe that the past is always present, and many current presenting concerns are often manifestations of trauma that have yet to be processed. I like to work with body-based interventions to help people learn to self-regulate activated nervous systems, and then process memories that often are at the root of current distress.

I am focused on helping adults successfully navigate both new and chronic stressors in their lives. These stressors may be anxiety, grief and loss, traumatic experiences, new diagnoses, ongoing health conditions, caregiver stress, and life transitions. We will all encounter difficulties in our lives and my goal is to help you work through the things you are struggling with. I am able to hold your stories with compassion.

I use a variety of techniques to assist in therapeutic progress (mindfulness, somatic interventions, CBT, ACT, play and expressive arts, narrative therapy, etc.) and my style is rooted in existential-phenomenological philosophy.
I believe every person has the innate capacity towards growth given the right conditions. My goal in the therapy room is to provide emotional safety and support you in making space for growth, both by processing difficult aspects of life and by celebrating your wins. I will be soliciting your feedback so that we can ensure therapy is progressing in ways that are meaningful to you.

I practice from a trauma-informed lens, incorporating somatic and mindfulness approaches to support whole-body healing.
I work with adults and young adults who are navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or depression, healing from intergenerational trauma, struggling with adoption issues, or exploring identity development. You may be experiencing intense emotions or facing challenges in building meaningful relationships. I strive to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can deepen your self-awareness, embrace personal growth, and create meaningful change.

I approach therapy from a trauma-informed perspective and incorporate somatic psychotherapy and mind-body techniques to create a grounded approach, based in research and cultural-sensitivity.
Creating compassion and understanding for yourself is different than making excuses for your behavior. When we are able to understand how our backgrounds and experiences influence the way we relate to the world around us, we are able to become more intentional in our relationship with ourselves and with others. Together we can explore how to best support you in living a life guided by your values and deepen your understanding of your identities.

I integrate somatic therapy, mindfulness, and IFS to help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in yourself.
Life can look put together on the outside while feeling overwhelming on the inside. Whether you're a teen, young adult, or adult navigating anxiety, chronic pain, burnout, or a major life transition, therapy can be a place to reconnect with yourself. My goal is to help you better understand what's happening beneath the surface so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

I also hold an ecological and collective liberation lens. (For more details about somatic work and what happens in session, feel free to visit my website!)

You want to live a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling, but for various reasons this feels hard to get to on your own. I help men who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and lost reconnect to confidence, hope, and connection.

There is power in being witnessed as you are: a whole, complex and beautiful human who contains multitudes. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from yourself and from other people, or perhaps you feel anxious and overwhelmed - stuck in a cycle and exhausted. By suppressing our own needs and desires as a survival strategy, many of us have learned how to make ourselves small in order to navigate our world as safely as we can. You have done what you can to protect yourself, and you deserve so much more.

I work primarily with queer and trans teens and adults, couples navigating polyamory/non-monogamy, chronically ill and disabled people, neurodivergent people, and anyone carrying the weight of systemic violence. My style is direct, invested, and compassionate. I blend parts work, art therapy, and somatics to help you go deeper than cognitive models of therapy. I am also trained in Brainspotting (like EMDR, but gentler and less structured) for more focused trauma work.

Either way, you are open to breaking old patterns, adding new skills, and exploring the meaning you have created from the story you tell yourself about yourself.

I integrate energy psychology, mindfulness, and somatic practices to support deeper, more sustainable healing.
Together, these approaches allow us to work beyond talk therapy, not by replacing conversation, but by expanding it. Instead of only analyzing what happened, we focus on how your body is responding now, and what it needs in order to shift.

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.
