YOU’RE TIRED OF RELIVING THE PAST -You find yourself rehashing it over and over and over again, and all you want is for it to stop. Out of the blue, you are paralyzed with feelings of fear, vulnerability and panic from everyday situations. You’re far too familiar with being on high-alert, and never letting your guard down. You feel anxious, and held captive to past trauma, that you just can't seem to let go. It’s hard to sleep and the nightmares don’t stop. You can’t talk about it because no one understands. You don’t recognize yourself anymore. You wonder what’s wrong with you.

The treatment method I use will vary for each person or couple who seek my help. I give you practical advice based on your situation, not generic "deep breath, count to 10 and it will all be "better" advice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of my primary modalities. My hope is that we will build trust after you meet me and decide if I am a good fit for you. Therapists are like pants, I wont be a good fit for everyone and that is ok, come meet me and see!

I introduce cognitive and somatic interventions so you regain control over anxious thoughts and invite calm and joy into daily activities.
Anxiety symptoms are awful- racing heart, restless, short of breath, dizzy, headache, stomach issues, tearful, exhausted, insomnia, panic. Trips to the ER thinking there is something really wrong with you. Thoughts of dread, doom, worry. Am I going insane? Feeling like you are out of your body, disconnected. Sweating, shaking, can't concentrate, forget things, recurrent thoughts. Irritable, nervous, angry, sad, hopeless. Why is this happening to you? The uneasiness magnifies. You start to avoid places, activities, fearing it will trigger the sensations. The suffering at times feels unbearable.

If you have trauma, addiction, hyper or hypo-arousal, I can help with these through a combination of somatic psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Life may feel out of control for you right now. You may be using unhealthy coping skills - like drinking too much, or over eating - and perhaps you are beating yourself up about it. You have no time or space to figure out how to do things differently and don't feel good about how your relationships are going. The pandemic has really highlighted areas in your life that you need to make changes in but you feel stuck. Perhaps you are moving from crisis to crisis and the same cycle keeps repeating itself and you don't know why. Perhaps the ghosts of your past keep sabotaging your present. But there is help and a way out - you can do it!

I draw upon CBT, IFS, somatic therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy to support the processing of trauma, fostering a holistic healing experience that encompasses both mind and body.
Our life experiences can lead us to question our identity and purpose in the world we live in. This can lead us to anxiety, depression, and trauma. Do you want to improve how you face challenges, function in your relationships, and face overwhelming feelings? I place heavy importance on addressing trauma. Trauma disintegrates the parts that make up your whole self, which can leave aspects of who you are hidden from your awareness. Left unaddressed, anxiety and depression can worsen, which can rob you of the necessary connection that all human beings need to thrive. I aim to help you process unresolved trauma.

My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in psychodynamic theory and weaves multiple therapeutic modalities & research, including trauma-informed interventions, somatic therapy, neuroscience, and attachment theory. My clients appreciate my relaxed, warmly inquisitive and direct style. I adhere to a nonpathologizing model, recognizing coping mechanisms as survival strategies. I believe that emotions are powerful messengers, pointing to authentic needs and feelings. I work with people who are interested in understanding how their strategies are perpetuating anxiety & self doubt, preventing them from experiencing peace and confidence.

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.
