From a trauma-informed lens, I integrate attachment, somatic & narrative-based practices to foster self-trust.
Each of us possesses an innate ability to evolve & heal, especially in supportive communities, to live our most genuine and fulfilling lives. Sometimes difficult life experiences & oppressive social structures may cause a disconnection from this inner healer, & we need support reconnecting with self. If you are BIPOC & LGBTQIA+, and are struggling with grief/loss, shame, peer/romantic relationships, immigration/acculturation stress, childhood trauma, & identity exploration, and need support integrating these experiences & realizing the life you envision for yourself, we may be a good fit.

All people go through struggles, but not everyone reaches out for help. One of the hardest things to do is reach out and ask for support. I believe with the right therapist, you can express yourself freely without fear of judgement or bias. I believe that no two people are alike and therefore each person deserves an individualized approach, at any age in your life. I strive to provide a therapeutic experience of connection and relatedness that supports each individual’s unique development of self-awareness, insight, and ability to change.

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.
