Somatic Therapists in Oldsmar, FL

My ideal client seeks deep healing and personal transformation. They struggle with trauma, anxiety, or a sense of disconnection, feeling that traditional therapy hasn't fully addressed their needs. They seek a holistic approach, blending psychospiritual and somatic therapies, to heal both mind and body. Their goal is to find inner peace, emotional resilience, and a profound connection to their true self. They desire meaningful change, driven by a yearning for authentic living and holistic well-being.

You’ve tried talk therapy & it hasn’t helped... Talking about yourself may seem overwhelming when you have so much anxiety, past memories and feel distanced from those you care about. At work, it’s hard for you to hit that ‘off button.’ At home, you stay up late getting caught up in the thoughts of your past or replaying a conversation in your head. Your stress has caused yet another panic attack. Each week is so draining as you hold tension in your shoulders, a swirling spiral of stomach yuck, or feel keyed up as you scroll mindlessly on your phone. You crave relief & direction and haven’t been able to find it anywhere else.

Taking the first step toward seeking support is a brave decision, and I’m glad you’re here. With 16 years of clinical case management and counseling experience, I specialize in helping individuals who are facing substance use, working to heal from trauma, PTSD or C-PTSD, as well as individuals struggling with attachment issues, depression, or anxiety. I’m also certified in trauma-informed yoga, breath-work, mindfulness practices, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, any of which we can explore incorporating into our work together if you choose. My goal is to work with you to create a path forward that honors your unique journey.

Welcome to this side of therapy. If you’ve landed on my profile, you’re probably looking for someone who practices a little (or a lot) out of the ordinary when it comes to mental health. Working with me, you will do much more than talking to process life issues! You will also utilize art therapy, somatic movement, & dream work. Because lasting healing comes not just from the mind, but also the body, heart, & spirit. I’m quite versed in the realms of trauma, grief, sexuality, the unconscious mind, shadow/parts work, feeling your feelings, & spiritual awakenings. If you’re ready to dive deep, I’m ready to guide you through it!

Every person goes through a period in their life where they desire to make changes, face difficulties, find the courage to challenge themselves, or simply find that their old ways are no longer serving them in their life. I take the time to understand each client in order to tailor their treatment to their uniques circumstances. In my practice I thoroughly believe that a connection between therapist and client is the foundation for healing and change. It is an honor to provide the services that I do. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental safe place for healing.

I specialize in trauma, from mild traumas to PTSD and CPTSD, narcissistic abuse, and religious trauma. I emphasize the mind-body connection and rely on somatic therapies and evidence-based therapies like EMDR, in which I am fully certified with advanced training. Additionally, I specialize in relationship stress and anxiety for individuals and/or couples. For couples/marriage counseling I use attachment theory to guide my work. Beyond these specializations, I help individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, stress, and life transitions, aiming to provide holistic and compassionate care for healing and growth.

You will develop ways to practice more self-love & learn to receive and give safe love again. You will learn to accept the "unacceptable" parts of you, reclaim your frozen lost parts (Wounded Inner Child) gradually re-connect to your soul's true identity.
