Hi, I'm Harley. I understand what it’s like to struggle with sleep, battle anxiety, and feel caught in shame spirals. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced childhood trauma. If you live with a harsh inner critic and find yourself triggered in everyday interactions, I want you to know you’re not alone. These feelings and actions are trauma responses, and with the right support, they can be transformed. It can feel isolating, lonely, and hopeless, but there is hope. Together, we can compassionately work to unlearn these responses and build a life that feels safer and more fulfilling.

We all want a life full of meaning and joy, where we're free to be ourselves and be happy, but a lot of us struggle to have that experience. It can often feel like we're barely hanging on, just trying to make it through the day. We can find that we just can't seem to feel happy/fulfilled, that we can't seem to connect with our partner or others in a meaningful way, and that we feel alone, anxious, and hopeless.

If you're here, it's because you're seeking a change—a change that you haven't been able to achieve on your own, despite your best efforts. I understand the obstacles you're facing, both external and within your own mind. You may be experiencing pain or a sense of things falling apart. Your life may even seem to have all the necessary components for success, yet there's something missing, something that's preventing you from truly thriving. Regardless of how you got here, the goal of becoming a better version of yourself is absolutely attainable. It's within your reach.

Life is a complex gift, it was given to us with no true guidance or direction. We go through our phases and hope for the best outcomes, often we hit a wall and become trapped trying to find our way out. In protecting oneself from the unknown, we unconsciously close and lock the door to keep ourselves safe from what lurks behind it. These are the moments that become the hardest for us to reach out and ask for the help we need.

What exactly is addiction? Does it only apply to substance abuse, or does it overlap with behavioral processes like over eating, compulsive spending, or obsessively watching pornography? Can someone become addicted to an idea? To a feeling? To another person? I believe the answer is yes, and I believe all addictions can be treated in the same way. If you have found yourself engaged in any pattern of behavior that's causing a problem, but no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to change - I might be the right therapist for you.

The relationships we form with intimate partners and ourselves are vulnerable and very often confusing and scary. My goal is to help you create secure attachments, explore and manage anxiety and fears, increase self-esteem, and improve connection within yourself and loved ones. Many that I work with have experienced sexual, childhood, or relationship trauma that can cause anxiety, undesired attachments, difficulty to regulate emotions, and connections that do not feel fulfilling. You may feel lost and vulnerable within your relationship with yourself and your partner. You deserve a safe space to express and explore these dynamics.

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.
