I often utilize Somatic Experiencing, trauma-informed principles, narrative therapy, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Do you feel like you're at war with your body? Maybe it's a Parkinson's diagnosis, chronic pain that the doctors keep dismissing, or the residual impact of trauma leaving you feeling out of sorts. You are tired of only being seen for your diagnosis and you know that there is more to life than managing your symptoms. You are ready to feel at peace with your mind and your body.

My approach is client-led, collaborative, and compassion focused, and I use a mix of cognitive and somatic (body based) techniques to help you strengthen your mind-body connection and heal your whole self - mind, body, and soul.
On the surface, you seem fine but inside, you’re overwhelmed, anxious and constantly doubting yourself. You struggle with saying "no" and asking for what you need. You aim for perfection, but there's still that nagging feeling that you're just not good enough. The pressure to be perfect and please everyone is exhausting and it can feel like there's no way out, but the good news is: you're not alone and it's possible to find relief. Together, we'll work on quieting your inner critic, setting boundaries without guilt, building healthy, authentic relationships with yourself and others, and finding peace and joy around and within you.

As a Jungian psychoanalyst, somatic psychotherapist, trauma therapist, spiritual guide, zen priest, writer and consultant with over 30 years of professional experience, I teach adults tools to wake up and overcome their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual challenges so that they can soulfully move beyond perceived boundaries of the limited self.
You are creative and successful in your career. You've worked hard to achieve; you use your training to help others. You've explored self-help and spiritual programs. Yet it feels like something is missing. You wake in the morning with a feeling of anxiety or dread. In your relationships, you react emotionally rather than respond consciously. Although people enjoy your company, you feel lonely and unhappy. You suspect that the old survival skills you learned to survive a painful childhood are no longer useful. You yearn to change and grow, to live with a calm mind and vitality, and to reclaim the joy that is your birthright.

Together we'll explore what's getting in the way of your best life, and work towards self-awareness and acceptance.

I have specialized training in Brainspotting, Somatic Work, and Imago Relationship Therapy.
I seek to create a space for people who have ever felt out of place, pressured to fit into boxes that don't reflect who they truly are, or follow patterns that don't serve them. My practice is rooted in the belief that authenticity is not something to fix, but something to be honored. I work with individuals and couples navigating neurodivergence, codependent relationship patterns, and those who identify as “minimizers” who want support coming out of their shell. I also support gender-diverse clients navigating social and medical transitions. My practice is sex-positive and knowledgeable of ENM/poly relationships.

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.
