You're feeling anxious, overwhelmed or maybe even fearful of the future. All you've been wanting is to feel understood and validated by those around you. You remember times when you've felt better, more yourself, but now you just feel so disconnected. Going through challenges like these can feel really isolating, but you do not need to go it alone. Connecting with a therapist can be a great way to start your healing process. My favorite part of being a therapist is having the opportunity to sit across from someone and help them feel seen, valued and understood, while also offering day to day tools to help them feel better.

Clients wanting to optimize their potential and willing to explore effective solutions from Western and Eastern wisdom traditions are my specialty. During my forty plus years working in psychiatric hospitals, leading residential treatment programs, teaching relationship courses for couples and presenting Mind, Body and Spirit healing seminars, helping others heal the core of their issue is my passion. I work with adolescents, adults, families and couples from every orientation. Of course, the LBGT community is welcome. Respectful of every religious orientation, I love working with anyone wanting to unite their physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects of their being.

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.

I utilize a variety of methods including clinical hypnotherapy, EMDR and Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing and subconscious processing.
My primary goal is to partner with you to relieve suffering and promote well-being. I have extensive experience working with health care professionals, highly sensitive persons, those suffering complex or acute PTSD, individuals dealing with chronic health issues, and therapists experiencing compassion fatigue or burnout. I enjoy collaborating with those who've had less than satisfactory experiences with prior therapy, or who feel stuck in their efforts to change. My approach is intuitive, empathic, compassionate and grounded in evidence-based methods.

I have received continuing education in treatment modalities such as: Christian Integration, Complex Trauma Treatment, Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Self-Criticism and Shame Resolution, Affair Recovery, Betrayal Trauma, Written Exposure Therapy for Trauma, and Forgiveness.
Has infidelity, family issues, or other hurts disrupted your peace in relationships? Because we were designed to live in harmony with self, God, and others, it's painful and frustrating when we are hurt or disregarded. I help those whose relationships aren't working quite right understand what triggers their hurts, increase compassion for themselves and their loved ones, and teach skills to develop healthy, safe, secure connections. This oftentimes includes exploration of early childhood experiences where important relationships set fear and confusion for how to be close to someone. Healing that pattern is possible!

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.
