There is a possibility of resolving PTSD and other negative experiences through trauma-informed therapies such as EMDR and somatic awareness, combined with cognitive and mindfulness practices.
Are you feeling enraged or in disbelief? Does it seem like it’s just getting harder to tolerate any stress? Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of reactions, and then feel down about yourself? Is your past holding you back in ways that are not helping you thrive in the present? When our past experiences control us, our ability to choose our responses diminishes, impacting us emotionally and physically, often leading to feelings of depression, anxiety, and shame. I view therapy as a collaborative process that fosters well-being mentally, physically and spiritually.

I've learned a trauma-informed approach and enjoy using concepts of Depth Psychology, humanistic-existential theory, and somatic psychology in sessions.
How would you like to spend your time on earth? What would make yours a “life well-lived?" Mainstream American culture places great emphasis on hard work, wealth, and appearance, but these values leave many people confused, stressed, and unfulfilled. Therapy can be a great place to cut through the noise and explore deeper meanings. In a lot of ways, the process of therapy is opposite to the values of patriarchy and capitalism. We face daily pressures to go faster, minimize emotions, engage in shallow relationships, and work towards a "better" version of ourselves that is perpetually out of reach.

You've experienced worry in the past but it didn't impact you like this. Your sense of direction, your passions, and the things that brought you joy felt clear. Now, that certainty is distant. Life’s transitions, changes, and even traumas may have left you feeling overwhelmed, with anxiety growing stronger. It might feel like you’re simply surviving rather than truly living. The ways you’ve learned to push through—whether from your upbringing, family, or the past, aren't working. But you don’t have to keep fighting anxiety alone. I specialize in helping teens and women in life transition exchange worry for clarity and ease.

I don't believe that struggling is weak or wrong, it allows us to grow into stronger and more capable people. I think that there are some experiences that hit us a little harder than others and have us needing some support along the way, everyone has conflict and difficulty in their lives at one time or another. I also believe that our emotional challenges can affect our physical experience through anxiety symptoms, chronic pain, exhaustion and difficulty sleeping as well as in other ways.

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.
