I have completed my training to be a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and have almost completed the certification process.
Therapy is a journey to embrace our authentic selves, no matter our back story. Problems that we struggle with do not form our whole identity and are usually adaptations that were originally protective strategies. My approach combines many different modalities that help with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, as well as problems caused by addiction. I have limited in-person availability, however, I have found that telehealth can be just as effective as in-person counseling in many cases. My telehealth clients also have first priority for booking in person appointments as they become available. Free consultation available.

I use an integrated approach to counseling, drawing from Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Somatic work.
I work with a variety of life issues, from trauma and grief to depression, anxiety and everyday stressors in between. My hope for our work together is to help my clients develop a deeper sense of knowing and trusting themselves. I strive to provide a space to explore how and where a person may feel stuck in order to move forward with a better sense of awareness and a greater level of compassion. I believe when self-awareness grows, we are able to show up differently in our relationships, desires, and lives. I also believe change is possible when we have a trusting therapist/client relationship to build off.

I have been practicing in community-based settings since 2009 and have completed specialized training in EMDR, DBT, Mindfulness, Advanced Perinatal Mental Health, somatic therapies, CBT-Recovery, and Motivational Interviewing.
Life is a complex journey that can feel overwhelmingly hard to navigate at times. We all show up with our own profound life experiences and when obstacles emerge that seem insurmountable, we need support and guidance for growth, deep personal healing, and connection. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and genuinely value the importance of offering a safe environment to hold space where meaningful change and growth can occur. Therapy is a collaborative process and I recognize the importance of flexibility and adaptability.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety, major life changes and/or relationship stress? Do you struggle with feelings of shame and guilt? My practice is grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal, achieve fulfillment, and to be fully present to life experience. I believe in the importance of our relationships with others and our connection to the natural world and how this connection can be regulating, helping us achieve freedom from shame, depression, and anxiety. Combining nature based work with somatic techniques can help release traumas stored in the body.

I have completed the Somatic Experiencing training, a trauma healing modality that integrates the experiences of the body into therapy, thus achieving a more holistic approach to therapy.
When I reflect on what being a therapist means to me, the words that come to me are hope, healing, connection, and wholeness. The entire reason that I am a therapist is to help my clients discover that these do not represent mere words, but signify real experiences. I desire that each person I encounter in my work to experience all that life has to offer. However, I recognize that living in this world is not easy, and there is suffering, loss, trauma, disconnection. These experiences, though incredibly difficult, can also be the impetus and foundation of profound and transformative healing.

For the body: We focus on nervous system regulation utilizing mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR.
I work with women who want freedom from what haunts them. Women who are willing and ready to do the work to free themselves from the grip of whatever holds them. Addiction, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, a traumatic event, unhealthy relationships, you name it. Our past experiences coupled with our current modern society deeply affect our ability to find balance within our minds, bodies, and spirits. Healing is about returning to balance in these three areas. What does that look like?

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.
