I utilize an eclectic approach that includes depth-oriented, somatic, Internal Family Systems and CBT techniques.
I believe that we each have an innate force that drives us towards wholeness and the fulfillment of our individual potential. However, life experiences can lead to a break from our personal experience of the soul, resulting in a deep sense of loss and isolation from self and others. I work collaboratively with my clients to remove obstacles that block the connection to a deeper experience of the soul and authentic self, and then move towards the realization of a fulfilling and purposeful life. "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there... " Rumi

I meet with clients at my offices in Elk Grove and Gold River, as well as online. I see couples, singles and provide counseling to adults. I address issues from trauma & abuse recovery to relationships to anxiety, depression, grief and loss. A key resource in recovery from traumatic events involves strengthening our ability to attach to ourselves and others in a way that soothes and calms our nervous systems and grounds us, based on the latest neurological research and evidence-based techniques. This therapy can be much more effective and require a shorter duration of treatment than traditional talk therapy.

I fully believe that life is a journey, and therapy is a way to explore where we've been, where we're at, and where we're going. You are the expert in your life, and no one else is able to experience it the way you have. However, through therapy, a new understanding of self and dedication to developing healthier ways to cope and manage could benefit anyone. In therapy, you are in the driver's seat deciding where, when, and how we get there, and as a therapist, I am there to guide you and aid in exploration.

You feel like you always have to do more. More at work; More in your relationships. Many people depend on you- your family, co-workers, and friends. You're tired and burnt out. You know you need to take a break but you’re afraid of failing or being rejected. It feels like everything you do is never enough. You just don’t feel enough. These thoughts keep cycling through and you can't see a way forward. You want to make a change but it's overwhelming. When you've had to do everything on your own, it feels like you need to make a drastic change. This is not the only option.

Pornography Doesn’t Have to Break Your Connections. For many men, engaging with pornography or browsing virtual spaces like Instagram creates emotional distance that can lead to emotional infidelity, eroding trust, intimacy, and impacting a partner’s sense of worth. Whether you’re in a committed relationship or seeking one, this cycle can leave you and those close to you feeling disconnected. Left unaddressed, this struggle can damage relationships, even leading to divorce, affecting not just you but your family’s future. For single men, it can make building a stable, loving relationship difficult

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.
