I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to treat several different types of mental health symptoms, mind-body and somatic techniques, and family systems and parts work.
I believe trust and safety are the 2 most important things in therapy. I strive to create this with a warm and non-judgmental presence, humor when appropriate, and listening to truly understand you. To help you make the changes you want in your life, I use a compassionate yet direct approach, helping you to challenge your thought processes and behaviors. I specialize in trauma and addictions, though work with a variety of other issues you may struggle with like having a new baby, relationship and trust issues, divorce, anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, impulsivity or concentration issues.

I practice somatic and relational therapy.
Many of my clients have learned that their experiences can be described as "trauma", and that trauma is often "stored in the body." These experiences can range from major life events, to buildup of chronic stress, to difficult relationships from the past. My clients often are curious how their early life, attachment with caregivers, or past relationships have affected them. Somatic and relational therapy can help to heal traumas of all kinds that are carried in our bodies and minds. My collaborative and flexible approach means that you have a voice in how we work on things together, and we go at a pace that works best for you.

In our work together, I will view your experience in the context of the people and places that have shaped your life. My practice is grounded in systems theory, relational therapeutic models, and a social equity perspective. I take a trauma-informed approach and emphasize mind/body integration, using somatic techniques proven to reduce symptoms of complex stress-related disorders. I believe we are all creative beings who are capable and deserving of pleasure, and will often incorporate art and play therapy models as a supplement to traditional talk therapy.

I am practiced in relational trauma therapy, integration therapy with ketamine infusions, Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy (IFOT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in combination with somatic experiencing, guided imagery, nature-based healing and mindfulness.
Relationships are a vital part of all life. We learn about ourselves, others, & the world around us through our relationships. Trauma, oppression, abuse, emotional wounds, grief/loss, & many other challenges can be overwhelming, create disconnection, & leave us feeling hopeless. Under certain conditions those challenges can offer us a place from where we can learn, heal, & grow. This process is not linear and is unique to each of us. I'm dedicated to creatively collaborating with you to bring more ease and authenticity into your life & relationships.

I also use metaphor, mindfulness, and somatic awareness as part of therapeutic change.
When you were younger, did you enjoy staying up all night with friends, talking about and exploring some of the fundamental mysteries of life? As an adult, do you feel like you’ve lost touch with that feeling of awe and wonder, and that life has become a stressful grind? I believe that therapy is a place where we can return to a space of curiosity and wonder to explore what fundamentally makes us human. Through this process, we can find relief from the roots of suffering and connect with something bigger than ourselves.

As a therapist, I strive to build a relationship based on trust and empathetic listening. I have a passion for helping people move through the hardships they might be facing in their lives. I realize therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach and I will work with you to help you build skills that are effective for you. I will help you gain insight into your life, identify negative thought patterns, and challenge you to think "outside of the box". During the time we spend together, we will focus on strength-based and person-centered treatment.

For the past 22 years I have helped traumatized, depressed or anxious clients feel safe, heard, understood & empowered. Trauma can make people feel hopeless, numb, empty and like they have lost themselves. They often resort to coping that helps them avoid or escape their emotional pain but doesn’t help them to heal or effectively manage their symptoms but they don’t know any other way. There is another way. In my gentle, compassionate, non-judgmental approach I help clients feel unconditional acceptance, support, understanding & safety.

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.
