Somatic Therapists in Seattle, WA
Feeling unhappy in your body? Feeling like you are using drugs and alcohol to cope with life? I specialize in working with women and adolescent girls who are experiencing struggles around body image, their relationship with food, and substance abuse. So many women don't feel comfortable in their own skin. Food, drugs, and alcohol can be a way to cope with this experience. As women, we receive a wide variety of messages about who we are vs. who we should be. Holding onto these messages is at the root of many struggles in our daily lives.

I focus primarily on providing support to the LGBTQ+ community, of which I am a member myself. Additionally, I have experience working with individuals that are experiencing debilitating chronic pain, anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, grief and emotional abuse. My services include trauma informed care, and support that is personalized. I enjoy finding unique ways to help with balancing the nervous system including mindfulness techniques, breathwork, and art therapy. I do not believe that there is one way that will work for everyone & strive to tailor the tools provided on your healing journey to meet your individual needs.

In difficult situations we might shut down, have a hard time identifying/communicating needs, might experience anxiety or struggle to control anger. In our work together you will have a chance to learn more about yourself, grow compassion towards yourself and understand your triggers better. I believe that our bodies are constantly giving us messages. These messages are an invitation to help us understand our needs and attend to them better.

We live in an overly stimulated world even while hiding from a virus, with constant choices regarding how we spend our time and energy and procure our needs. The amount of content we engage with daily has most people overloaded and unfocused. Which means, most of the time, we are not truly listened to or seen. For some, stepping into therapy is the first time they have experienced being heard and seen, wholly, genuinely, and comprehensively. The initial experience of being heard, can have a profound effect on one’s life. That is where we will begin. In a space with presence, non-judgmental empathic listening, and acceptance.

We all struggle in life at one point or another. However, reaching out for support can take a lot of strength and courage. For this reason, I strive to provide a safe, accepting, non-judgmental environment where you can openly explore your struggles and receive the support and guidance you need. Many times our past experiences have left us with wounds that become aggravated, causing difficulites in our relationships and daily lives. Together, we will reflect upon your emotional states, core beliefs and sources of distress to gain deeper awareness and skills for positive change and healing in these areas.

My primary goal as a therapist is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to help you process challenges and harness your strengths. With this foundation, I layer in creative, experiential strategies that access the root of current and historical obstacles. As a clinical social worker, I have focused my training on relationship dynamics (particularly within couples and families) and creative arts therapies. My multifaceted professional background as an actor, teacher, and entrepreneur has uniquely honed my understanding of complex human emotion, interpersonal relationships, and the role of the body in storing our personal histories.

Healing happens through experience, and having a consistent, non-judgmental ear can help you see things in a new light. Together we may talk, move, create and explore your feelings. I will guide you through your depths so that you can reconnect to the source, get to know yourself, and come to terms with the past. Maybe you've hit a wall with talk therapy. Perhaps you want to be more present, bolster your own practice, or stop engaging in patterns that cause you pain. I approach you as a human being and help you grow into a fuller version of yourself.
