You have done everything you were always told you were supposed to, so why do you feel so miserable? Why is it, despite any of your accomplishments, you still feel like a failure? You may not have even noticed your dissatisfaction because you've been so busy taking care of others. But lately you've begun to realize that somewhere amongst all your efforts and responsibilities, you've never really been happy, not deep down. What's worse, you feel as though no one understands your pain because all they see is someone who puts on a brave face. I know you're tired of taking care of everyone else, and I can help you!

I highly desire to preserve the family unit. I love working with couples, teens, family dynamics while exploring exestential concepts, challenging traditional roles and perceptions that result in individual autonomy, confidence and authentisity. I love helping blended families work together in finding common values, aligning with parenting styles and goals, while increasing life satisfaction for all indivduals involved. I enjoy supporting couples recover from addictions and infedelity as well as other challenges and barriers that are often identified as "dealbreakers" and reframing previous expectations to create new ones.

Are You Feeling Overwhelmed? Burned out? Exhausted, but can't sleep? Maybe you distract yourself to get through your work day or school day by daydreaming of a life far from your own. But when reality hits, you freeze. Overwhelmed by the weight of it all, you don't know what to do next. You’re not alone. I know that it can be hard to reach out for help– but none of us are meant to go through this life alone. An environment with a compassionate and trained confidant, makes all the difference. Healing is possible.

Sometimes life hands us experiences we didn't ask for, don't want, & don’t feel equipped to handle. Filled with anxiety or surrounded by loss, it can feel like there is nowhere to turn. You want to be successful, have good relationships with friends & family, contribute meaningfully to the world & even have some fun. Instead you may find yourself struggling to get out of bed in the morning, cycling through negative thoughts, overwhelmed with hopelessness, or even sabotaging work or relationships. Sometimes emotions get so big that we defend ourselves against them, building walls that often lead to numbness, anxiety and depression.

Life is hard. In one moment, life as you know it can be completely changed. Are the things that once made you happy no longer making you happy? Have you been through a frightening experience that left you feeling scared, lonely, or even doubting who you are? Maybe you’ve been through a series of little things that you believe shouldn’t be bothering you, but they are. Do you feel completely misunderstood and alone? I get it. You are not alone. Everyone needs space to process life’s challenges and successes. No one is supposed to be able to figure it all out on their own.

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.
