I am a veteran, bilingual, highly sensitive person (HSP) therapist that specializes in treating trauma, nervous system regulation, somatic symptoms, and difficult family relationships.
Do you feel anxious, depressed, have symptoms of complex trauma (C-PTSD) or PTSD, have bodily symptoms that you can’t seem to control and feel like your mind and body are disconnected? Going through stressful events and unresolved traumatic life experiences can feel extremely overwhelming. It can feel even more daunting when you feel like you are alone and don’t have the correct coping skills and tools to get through it or you’ve been putting your head down and plowing forward for so long you aren’t even sure where to start. You are not overreacting. I can help individuals and couples go from “surviving” to “thriving”.

I am EMDR trained and incorporate somatic and mindfulness-based practices, along with elements of Internal Family Systems.
A well-known psychologist, Carl Jung, wrote, "We all walk around in shoes far too small for us." I see therapy as a space where we can expand beyond what limits us. Whether we are dealing with past trauma or current hardships, the possibility of healing is always there for us. I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, or are navigating challenging life transitions and tumultuous relationships.

My background is in interfaith spirituality, Jungian dream work, depth psychology, and somatic studies.
My personal and professional experience has shown that we are uniquely wired and gifted, and therefore, we each require an equally unique path for discovering our authentic selves and for creating meaningful connection. Intertwining psychology with spirituality, my approach is largely grounded in Jungian theory and is psychodynamic and integrative. Support for your mental/emotional development and spiritual unfoldment is provided from a deep place of presence which encompasses the mind, spirit, and body.

Talking to a perfect stranger about personal things doesn't exactly make a person feel warm and fuzzy. Realistically though, life is just hard! Sometimes we just need to share our thoughts with someone who can be trusted not to judge how life's toughest blows may have affected us. Sometimes we just need to be able to talk honestly about things we wouldn't share with just anyone. This doesn't make us broken, it makes us 'Human.'

Compulsive behaviors impact all aspects of one’s life, including thoughts, feelings, and actions. They can lead to various addictions that include substance use, sex, social media, relationships, gambling, and more. People with compulsive behaviors often struggle to align their actions with personal goals and what is important to them. But I built my practice upon the idea that anyone can recover if given the right environment, and I aim to provide a safe space where clients gain insight and tools for their emotions, experiences, and behaviors.

You’ve been grappling with the aftermath of a toxic or traumatic relationship that left you questioning everything about yourself. The process of breaking free, or even reflecting on the recent escape, feels like an emotional whirlwind. You feel vulnerable and uncertain because the trust you once had in yourself and others has been shattered. Recent financial struggles have added to the weight of the situation, making it hard to move forward. Now, you’re unsure of who you are and what you want. It’s as if the very core of your identity has been upended, and rebuilding that sense of self seems daunting.

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.
