My approach is trauma-focused and includes a somatic approach utilizing the Trauma Resiliency Model.
Sometimes we can’t share how we really feel, even with the people we're closest to. Maybe you worry about burdening others or hope things will just get better. Perhaps you avoid your feelings or overthink them to exhaustion. Whatever it is, you don’t have to face it alone. Having experienced my own struggles in life has inspired my passion to help others. As a therapist, I've seen firsthand how depression, anxiety, and trauma can leave you feeling isolated and out of control. I want to be a beacon of hope. I want to help you tap into your inner strength, regain your confidence, and help you make lasting positive changes.

I believe in the connection between the body, mind, spirit and emotions, Using traditional talk therapy (CBT) and somatic tools like EMDR and mindfulness, I can help you to release the past, reclaim your natural resilience, joy, vitality and confidence, and potentially improve your physical health.
Trauma, stress, and other painful experiences can cause us to develop negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves and the world, keeping us stuck, and preventing us from moving forward. You may feel overwhelmed, powerless, hopeless, depressed or anxious or experience panic attacks. You tell yourself to "get over it," blame ourselves when we can't, and are often ashamed to let anyone know that we are struggling. You do not have to keep repeating the same patterns; life does not have to be all about pain and suffering. You can heal from your trauma, moving beyond those old behaviors to live happy, satisfying, fulfilling lives.

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.
