I focus on somatic work (combining mind and body), emotion focused, and brain science modalities such as Brainspotting, to give you all the best possible tools to feel better! I operate on the knowledge that humans need connection and safety to feel secure. I believe compassion and accountability are the foundation for life improvement and healthier functioning. My goal is for clients to feel compassion and also learn to give it to themselves and others while also increasing self-awareness, growth, and healing. Whatever brings you in, my goal is to find what works best for you and your goals.

All the internal struggles we keep to ourselves – such as adjusting to major life changes, dealing with relationship issues, coping with unresolved grief or childhood trauma, or managing everyday anxieties and feelings of unmotivation or dissatisfaction – significantly impact our daily lives. These challenges evoke emotions and thoughts that indicate a need to address them and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Our world can be pretty stressful and most of us spend a lot of our time feeling guilty, overwhelmed and have a belief that we are somehow deficient. I enjoy working with anyone who may be experiencing anxiety, depression and self-destructive habits due to having those negative beliefs and feelings about themselves. We all experience stressful things in life, and when there is just too many stressors creating an imbalance it can be difficult to have kindness to ourselves. I work to help others Learn how to be kinder to themselves, solve problems, regulate emotions and feel better about the way they are navigating life.

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.
