The moment we start to think "who am I," "why am I like this," or "is this the true version of who I am" are moments I consider to be breakthroughs. Moments of self-reflection can be difficult to understand, difficult to seek answers, and just the thought seems bizarre or confusing. At times it may not even be self-reflection. Instead, it is the feeling of guilt, shame, worthlessness, or insecurities. It can also show up as anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, somatic symptoms, interpersonal challenges, or strain in quality of life. This is the result of exposure to or experiences of neglect and abuse during our lifetime.

I take a relational approach when working with clients. We have all been shaped by both our personal history and intergenerational history. Anyone who would invest considerable time, energy, emotion, and money into therapy desires clarity and awareness. Oftentimes, clients have never been given a safe place to process the underlying reasons for the present-day issues. Nor have they been asked the right questions that would help them reflect on the joy and pain that was and is present. This is needed to develop a sense of self. We were harmed in relationship and we heal in relationship. This is why therapy is so powerful.

If you're feeling the pressure of challenging times, you're not alone. Many are struggling to manage the symptoms associated with chronic stress and chronic loneliness alongside anxiety and depression rooted in an unpredictable future. Perhaps you find it difficult to connect with others or have the relationships you want, or struggle to feel worthy of love. Understanding what contributes to your suffering and what you can do about it can lead to better awareness and gives us opportunities to break the cycles that keep us from our goals, who we want to be, and where we want to go in life.

I believe suffering revolves around burdensome ideals, fantasies, obsessions and problems in and of the world. These can stem from a mental, emotional, physical and/or spiritual tether. A disquieted heart requires a space to move in feeling and voice. The goal may be to get through the day or get through this trying season. I believe this is due to the will to live, breathe and be at peace within the unknown. Ultimately, a heart in mourning or fear desires to hope for a better day and tomorrow.

My philosophy is one of wholeness; our bodies, emotions, thoughts, and background work in unison to inform our present experience.

I'm trained in EMDR and use this frequently, while drawing from contemplative and somatic practices, mindfulness and meditative practices and parts work.
Sometimes life is painful. We all struggle and this doesn't mean you're defective. There's simply something that needs attention and care. Maybe you're overwhelmed with strong emotions, or feeling down or numbed out. Or you're experiencing painful, recurring thoughts that cause anxiety- part of you understands these thoughts aren't true, but they can really feel true. Whatever it is that you're going through, I'll listen with warmth and compassion as we work together to help you process difficult emotions, grief or traumas so that you can experience more joy, self-compassion, and presence in your life.

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.
