Somatic Therapists in East Longmeadow, MA

To those who stopped to read my profile, thank you for taking the time to consider if I am a good match for your needs. My first therapeutic action is to be sure you feel safe and comfortable in therapy. I want you to feel empowered as a consumer; if for any reason we are not a good match, I will support your transition to the therapist who is a better fit. While my primary focus is compassionate care for those who have experienced childhood (complex) trauma, grief, and loss, I also work with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, and anger. I also specialize in serving Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals fluent in ASL.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask for help; that is the first step. Admitting one needs help in addressing a painful issue is not a weakness, it is a strength. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment that fosters change and growth. My style is supportive, yet active. Together we will work toward defining and achieving your treatment goals. I have had good success working with individuals (usually men) who are unfamiliar and skeptical of the therapy process.

Therapy is much more than talking out your thoughts. I believe when engaged in therapy individuals feel supported, validated, empowered and encouraged to overcome or get through anything. Therapy is effective in dealing with a wide array of life’s most stressful issues including past trauma, anxiety, job or relationship issues, life transition, loss or just not feeling or functioning your best. I look forward to helping people build skills, think critically about their habits and work towards a better quality of life.

I believe in the human ability to heal, to change, to transfer her/himself. My job is to facilitate that transformation; and to allow the client to become the version of themselves they want to be. By providing a judgment free zone and space to heal, I teach clients skills such as emotional freedom therapy (EFT), mindfulness, acceptance, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and help them into the path to restore autonomy, ability, values and hope.

I often meet clients when they feel stuck or overwhelmed. They feel uncertain about how to move forward or don't have the supports they need to do so, and may feel as if every day is a battle. In our work together, I provide validation and reflection, pulling from the many strengths you already have. At times, life can feel too overwhelming to even see past the next few days. In those moments, our work is about grounding in the here and now, developing skills to manage stress, and having space to process. I enjoy working with clients navigating issues related to fertility & pregnancy, parenting, trauma, and climate-related anxiety.

I’m passionate about our capacity for healing and growth and love partnering with individuals and couples to create an empowering dynamic. As we move toward our most authentic Self, we can establish a deeper sense of personal and relational connection. Engaging in a therapeutic relationship with a compassionate, supportive, insightful therapist to walk alongside you is an act of great self-care, as we aspire toward fulfilling our desires and living our best lives. I have over 10 years of experience as a therapist and consultant to family-owned businesses. I’m also a music school owner and huge fan of musicians and artists!
