I use a wide variety of theories from humanistic to somatic with spatters of many other things in-between.
You want change and you don't know where to begin. You have ideas on what needs to change, but you don't seem to get the footing to make it happen. Sometimes a co-creator of the life you want is what you need. I am here to help with the life transitions, depression, anxiety. The desire to get out of the rut. I believe we are all capable of change and that we have the power to create it. You have the innate wisdom inside of yourself and that wisdom is yearning to be awoke within. Changes in life are hard and so rewarding when your maximum potential is learned. It is time to get out of your own way.

I bring to my work a lifetime of experience with many different people in many different circumstances. My early life experience as a registered nurse enriches me as a psychologist and provides me with a unique perspective in navigating the path towards healing. I believe that the psyche holds within itself the power to heal, but our egos often get in the way. Through the struggles of life, we can lose contact with our own deep well of inner wisdom. My focus is on helping individuals develop the tools to re-connect with their true vital selves and restore balance.

Talk therapy doesn't always meet our needs. Working with the nervous system holistically through EMDR, somatic experiencing, & breathing offers gentler and more effective means to heal. Therapy is a unique opportunity to be vulnerable and learn to experience a healthy relationship, with a foundation of trust and compassionate experience. A diagnosis is not necessary, in my professional opinion, to work through the issues "in the tissues". Confidentiality offers you peace of mind and sets a foundation of trust between us. My work is about freeing the weight of the past & future anxieties, so you can be you again and enjoy life more.

I utilize an eclectic approach, incorporating verbal reflection, art making, movement, metaphor, somatic processing and personalized ritual.
Life's motion can feel intense and demanding, seeming to move at a pace beyond one's stride, resulting in chronic stress, increased anxiety, fear, and for some, chronic pain. Throughout this motion, self-care and nurturing relationships can feel overwhelming. Connecting with another human can be one of the safest ways to become grounded and encounter what is asking for acknowledgment and care. I believe the therapeutic relationship and environment has immense potential to provide a secure container for all that is felt to be seen and explored—giving fear the opportunity to be faced and transformed into intentional forward movement.

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.
