I am seeking out training in holistic and somatic methods of healing.
No matter where our pain originates, big or small, it leaves a mark. It feels like it forces us to carry things that no longer serve us. What if you could drop it all and leave it behind? Imagine this: That first moment where you recognize that you do not need to be defined by your pain. You're probably closer to it than you think, and together, we can help you cross that finish line and live your best, most fulfilling life. I am passionate about working with people struggling with single-event or complex trauma, depression, and the pain that comes with being a human being. I also provide LGBTQ+, poly, and gender affirming services.

I offer client-centered care that invites deep inquiry, self-compassion, and somatic awareness.
I’m a trauma-informed therapist with over five years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families navigating emotional distress, behavioral patterns, and addictive patterns. My integrative approach draws from CBT, DBT, attachment, and trauma-focused work, grounded in curiosity, compassion, and embodied awareness. I believe healing comes not just through insight, but through connection to one’s inner experience, wisdom of the body, and external environment. I help clients explore the felt sense of their emotions, reclaim lost or exiled parts of themselves, and cultivate deeper self-understanding and growth.

It's important to me that my clients feel welcome and safe enough to show up exactly as they are. I do my best to attend to my clients in a fully present and available way so that I can deeply witness, listen, and respond with clarity, non-judgment, and compassion. I believe that psychotherapy can be a powerful vehicle for self-discovery, self-acceptance, and transformation. I draw on my own experiences of joy and suffering to be with my clients in a human way. I identify as Queer and Non-Binary and have been practicing Buddhism and psychotherapy for 20+ years.

My practice is centered on adults who experienced significant adversity growing up. Adversity might be in the form of physical and/or emotional harm. Growing evidence, however, shows that neglect and living with inattentive caregivers who are inconsistent in their interactions with children, getting mixed messages about which parts of them are welcome, create problematic attachment patterns. Those of us who were raised by "scaregivers," or "frightened and frightening" parent figures developed relational templates that we carry into adulthood, which limit our ability to show up as our whole selves and live life to the fullest.

I draw most heavily from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Jungian Analytical Psychology, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, and Existential Theory.
I believe most problems stem from traumas of varying degrees. Awareness of how trauma impacts the mind and body allows it to be healed rather than avoided or channeled into destructive behaviors. I have experience working with trauma, eating disorders, mood disorders, addiction, personality disorders, grief and loss, and life transitions.

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.
