Somatic Therapists in 98195
My trauma-informed approach to counseling combines several therapeutic models including somatic therapy, strengths-based work, and Acceptance and Commitment therapy.
Hello, brave one! I understand and admire the courage it takes to seek mental health support. If you find yourself grappling with anxious/intrusive thoughts, depressed mood, gender or sexual identity, challenges related to career or life transitions, or struggles associated with relationships and self esteem, therapy can be a safe, supportive space to process these experiences. Together, we may examine social, cultural, and environmental factors that impact the broader context of your lived experience, meaning-making process, and ability to implement change.

Sometimes you just need a safe and confidential space to sort it all out. Life and relationships can challenge us to our very limits as we try to love other people and hold onto our own sense of self at the same time. It can feel overwhelming to navigate the emotions, interaction cycles, and patterns at play in relationships. As difficult as these challenges are, they are ultimately the key to our personal growth and development. I work with couples who want a better partnership, and want to feel heard, valued, and understood. I help them find genuine connection in their emotional, mental, spiritual, and intimate relationship.

When people first come to see me, they’re often feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or shutdown. Many of them have tried breaking patterns that no longer serve them, but can’t seem to do it on their own. If this sounds like you: you're in the right place. Oftentimes, old patterns and residual feelings are connected to events and experiences we haven’t yet fully processed. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental place for you to do this processing. As a relational therapist, I bring my full, authentic self to our sessions. I won’t just nod my head and take notes–I will roll up my sleeves and join you in your healing process.

Do you crave a more playful, connected, & inspired life with meaning & purpose? Do you wish for compassion as your default & the mental space to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically? If you grew up feeling neglected or uncelebrated, struggled to be vulnerable, or have a hard time relaxing, you’re not alone. I believe in radical incrementalism, focusing on 1% changes for consistency over intensity. We are all inherently worthy of love & belonging but often develop maladaptive behaviors to cope with societal pressures. My passion is to help alleviate loneliness & empower you to connect deeply with those around you.

If you miss the joy and freedom you felt playing in the grass as a kid, and are craving that kind of connection to yourself again, I would love to work together. I enjoy working with women in their 20s-40s who are trying to navigate the human experience in our modern society. If you are in this age range, you likely remember a time with less technology and more connection. As a result, the changes to our world can feel heartbreaking, scary, lonely, anxiety provoking, and overwhelming. You may be noticing yourself spending hours on Instagram, Netflix, or TikTok, only to feel guilty and worse about yourself and your life.

Many of us weren't handed a complete toolbox for navigating life's challenges or didn't have models for maintaining satisfying relationships. When it comes to emotional disorders and relational issues people often delay getting the help they deserve. This can perpetuate or prolong painful experiences such as depression, anxiety, and loneliness and relationships can become gridlocked with perpetual issues. Therapy can help us develop the skills to live an anti-depressant life, cope with (even reduce) anxiety, process regrettable events, cultivate meaningful relationships, resolve triggers that impede our goals, and much more.

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.
