Somatic Therapists in 60604

Has life thrown a lot at you? Maybe you’ve successfully gotten through past difficulties, only to find your old ways of coping no longer serve you. Let’s work together to find your healing. With warmth and acceptance, I work to unlock your connection to and trust in your strengths, wisdom, and creativity. We'll shape an understanding of who you are, where you’d like to be, and what tools work for you to build skills and find solutions to your goals. Using my foundation in the neurophysiology of stress and trauma, I will partner with you to cultivate cognitive and body-based tools to cope and find new responses to present challenges.

If you are feeling stuck, I can be a guide in helping you find movement in your life. I will work with you to better understand your body and mind's ways of knowing as you explore your inner world. We may use creative practices like artmaking and body awareness along with discussion. Based on your goals, we will find what works best for you. I use a relational approach with a dash of humor in my practice, making space for both the hard things and the good stuff in life. Therapy should help you to feel that range more deeply, to feel you have options, and to feel capable of knowing what you need.

I am a licensed clinical therapist on staff at SpringSource Psychological Center and have immediate availability to help new clients. I received my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Arizona University and trained in CBT, Gottman Method, ERP, client-centered therapy, as well as other traditional therapies. Working with individuals, couples, and groups, I incorporate Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal and Somatic Experiencing Therapies. As an experienced therapist, I value continued professional learning and growth, allowing me to provide my clients with the very best treatment.

I am an art therapist, certified Brainspotting consultant, death doula, yoga teacher. Embodiment & somatic work is an interpersonal and collective liberation practice; it enriches our compassionate relations with our personal, generational, and collective experiences. I primarily practice Generational Brainspotting to support you in expanding your capacities and sensitivity to thoughtfully uncover and integrate memories, honor grief and joy - all of which can also deepen your generative conflict resolution skills, and access to clarity and creativity. It is your birthright to remember fully, your gifts and purpose in this life.

Each individual coming into therapy is valuable and capable of healing and growth. I work from a strengths-based and collaborative approach, looking to help encourage each person's uniqueness in life. I listen carefully to your inner wisdom, as I believe that each individual is the expert on their world. I believe that our emotions are important, and when we listen to them they are great teachers.

I am offering both virtual and in-person counseling services. I specialize in treating the issues that arise from unresolved trauma, difficult early life experiences, and perinatal trauma, anxiety and mood disorders. My goal is to support and empower my clients by using an integrative and collaborative stance, incorporating my background in psychodynamic psychotherapy with body-centered and mindfulness-based techniques. It is my hope that by equipping my clients with the skills to develop their own self-awareness, self-compassion, clarity, and peace, they can go on to experience more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

What's your definition of birthright? As we grow, family, culture, and society can assign meaning that does not serve our best interest but theirs. Devastatingly, we're often taught to point the finger back at ourselves when things go wrong. But I believe we heal and thrive when we nurture healthy intrinsic (fundamental to who we are) connection to ourselves and others. This work creates a safety net allowing us to build self-esteem and adapt without losing our personal power. Pursuing the arts with a former career as a performer, choreographer, and artistic director, I strongly relate to "fitting-in while trying to stand-out".

Healing from the past, embracing the future! I understand that each person’s story is unique and it takes incredible strength to seek support. I work with individuals, couples, and families who have faced trauma, depression, postpartum challenges, and relationship difficulties. My goal is to help you cultivate a sense of safety within yourself, empowering you to lead a more meaningful life. Whether you're struggling with past experiences that continue to affect your present, navigating the complexities of parenthood, or seeking to strengthen your relationships, I am here to walk alongside you.

I use a body-centered and arts-based approach so that you can dive deeper, break free from toxic cycles, and make meaningful change in your life.

Our motto is to walk beside our clients and share in this journey. We have 3 EMDR trained therapists, 4 couples counselors, a somatic pain specialist, and 3 interns.

We spend most of our time talking to ourselves. In therapy, we explore that narrative to help you feel more at peace. It is hard at first and once you find your confidence, you will notice significant changes in how you interact with yourself and the world; AND how the world interacts with you! I work with people who want a trusting and collaborative relationship built over time. I use a holistic and multicultural approach to better understand your unique experiences and provide treatment that is effective and ethical.

I know that therapy can be a daunting experience, but through personal therapy and my work as a therapist, I have seen the power and change it can bring. Knowing this, my role as a therapist is my greatest passion and highest honor. I am committed to every session being one that is supportive and safe to explore new, uncomfortable, or scary things, and bring about a change you can feel. I show up with enthusiasm and authenticity, ready to start this journey with you.

Culturally Competent Therapy specializes in building trust and a therapeutic alliance with their clients, so they are prepared to do the work. Clients, often including licensed therapists, feel accepted to be themselves in a safe environment. Individualized tailored approaches include culturally sensitive cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to treatment that may challenge the client's belief system. I enjoy helping clients of all backgrounds discover the root of their problems and understanding the value of cultural factors such as family, race, socio-economic status, work/career demands, and integration of faith.

I specialize in working with Black women who struggle to feel seen and heard while tending to wounds created by unrealistic societal expectations. However, I maintain the ability to work with individuals with histories of trauma, anxious thoughts, depressive feelings, and couples experiencing communication issues. Our sessions will involve holding space for who you have been, and who you are, while challenging you to see who you’ve always had the capacity to be. As a Spelman-educated therapist, I understand the need for Black women to have safe spaces to show up as they are, instead of who they have been told to be.

Finding a therapist is a challenging, yet courageous step. Maybe it is hard to find the words to express what is wrong. Or, you have the words but no one to share them with. It can be difficult to trust that someone will understand you. I welcome you to reach out. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, complex trauma, low self-esteem, shame, and struggling with emerging adulthood and identity. I understand the pervasive impact of childhood trauma and complex family dynamics. It is painful to long for connection and to feel unsafe or uneasy in the presence of others.

My aim for my clients is to gain an attitude of self-compassion and an empowered mindset. I believe that, generally, we are all doing the best we can with what we have. Unfortunately, sometimes what we have are old stories or traumas deeply embedded in our minds and bodies that make it difficult to find fulfillment in ourselves and in our relationships. Together, we can create distance from such burdensome threats to our current well-being. Using a relationship-focused, holistic therapeutic approach, I work to help my clients untether from fears and allow them to reach their full capacity to connect, to love, and to live.
