Life is more like a winding labyrinth than a straight path. We hit moments of overwhelming anxiety, persistent sadness, grief, or the twists and turns of major life changes. It's during these times that a helping hand can illuminate the path ahead. Growing up, I saw how mental health and substance use challenges could weave through communities. But too often, these struggles were shrouded in silence, especially within minority communities like mine. Think about it: when a persistent backache throws your balance off, you wouldn't hesitate to seek medical help. So why should navigating mental health be any different?

I get it, sometimes life is hard! Do you often find yourself questioning your self-worth, feeling down and inadequate despite your efforts? Are you feeling overwhelmed by constant worry and unease, unsure of how to find peace amidst the chaos of daily life? Or are you a new mother/parent, who is struggling with the intense pressures of parenthood, feeling isolated and unsure of your abilities? If these questions resonate with you, know that you are not alone. Many people face these challenges, and it's important to seek support and understanding during these difficult times.

We believe in the importance of both Science and Spirituality in our work. We are advocates for both Herbal and Prescription treatment and believe in the use of both Eastern and Western medical systems to treat disease and maintain health. We practice a model of therapy, coaching, and counseling which is collaborative, open and holistic in nature. Our therapeutic relationship should feel warm, safe and be connecting. This model is different than many counseling models which have a less collaborative flavor. In these models typically the therapist is the "expert" in the room and should not be challenged.

Sometimes we become better at seeming to be well, rather than actually being well. Living our fullest lives comes when we are aligned mind, body, and soul. This life of wellness is a delicate balance that can be impacted by life and other circumstances leaving us looking for a change. Therapy doesn't have to be a last resort when we're struggling and feel out of options; perhaps it is just the next step to wellness.

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.
