One of my specialities is in applying the new science on how to heal trauma using applied principles of the “ somatic experiencing” work of Peter Levine to heal the nervous system from patterns of dysregulation.
My approach to psychotherapy is dynamic, creative, and attuned to each unique individual's needs. I do depth oriented work that supports lasting psychological change because we are working at healing the root cause of psychological suffering. I work with people who come to therapy for different reasons wether it be anxiety/depression, issues related childhood trauma of all kinds, relationship challenges, dealing with a chronic health condition, a life transition, or wether it is simply for personal growth, awakening, and psychological healing.

I enjoy working with people seeking fulfillment in relationships, careers, spirituality, habits, and mental health. I offer a mix of online, in-person, one-on-one, and group options. I work primarily with females ages 20-50, but I'm open to any and all who resonate with me. Each client is unique, but I often find that incorporating some practical tools such as yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, somatic awareness, exercise, and nutrition is essential can get you closer to where you want to be. My approach is to be authentic and connect with clients where they are with humor, compassion, connection, and playfulness.

I draw from neurobiologically informed therapies and offer a variety of Cognitive, Somatic, and Energy Psychology interventions, such as: Brainspotting, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, EFT, IFS and TRE.
As a Trauma Specialist I honor the differences between Counseling, Therapy, and Trauma Processing. I work well with people who are trying to break free from cycles of dysfunctional family patterns, people trying to do better than their parents did, people who are the product of an affair (NPEs), people who've had spiritually transformative experiences (NDE, OBE, etc), people experiencing Post Traumatic Stress, people who've suffered medical gaslighting and iatrogenic injury (especially vaccine injured people) and people who generally think outside the box. Seeing the world beyond the lens of convention is my specialty.

I specialize in Somatic Experiencing and Touch Skills for Trauma Therapists.
Is chronic stress negatively affecting your life with physical symptoms such as insomnia and digestive issues? Do you find it difficult to relax or let down, especially when someone else is present? Has traditional talk therapy felt limited and you’re looking for a way to integrate the body into your therapy? Somatic experiencing is helpful for healing from chronic stress and past traumas, recent or from childhood, and uses a bottom up processing approach, meaning it works with the physiology to resolve trauma and release the survival energy held in the body.

Our past can haunt us, and we might wonder why we can't experience the happiness and hope others seem to have. Our present grief or fear of change can be debilitating. The truth is happiness and inner peace are achievable, yet we may require a little assistance to find our way. If you are struggling, I can help.

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.
