My approaches include but are not limited to: EMDR, somatic approach to psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, art therapy, narrative therapy, Addictions counseling and relapse prevention, internal family systems, Jungian dream interpretation, attachment-informed counseling, healthy coping skills, family system therapy.
Wholeness leads to healing. I guide my clients to accept all parts of themselves and find balance in their lives. I entered the field of counseling with a passion for treating trauma (big T and little t trauma). Along the way I gathered some exceptional tools for doing so, including EMDR and a somatic approach to psychotherapy. Not so far removed from trauma, I have also developed a specialty in treating addiction of all kinds. I have seen the power of emotional healing to transform people's lives in ways they always wanted but didn't know how. I am here to help whenever the client is ready to do that brave and powerful work.

Are you struggling with chronic stress, upsetting memories, episodes of anger, panic, irritability? Are you feeling depressed or numb? Difficult life experiences cause the nervous system to make you feel this way, whether those experiences occurred recently or in the distant past. The body remembers and contains difficult experiences even when the mind doesn't. At some point the body can no longer contain the memories, and they pour out of us in the form of stress, anger, depression, numbness, or panic. Take advantage of one of the most effective post-traumatic stress treatments used world-wide today - the Trauma Resiliency Model.

Hi! So...you're looking for a therapist but the process has you feeling more overwhelmed than you already were. Take a moment, take a deep breath. It feels like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, I know. You feel like days became months became years and now this life you're living doesn't much resemble the life you truly want if you're honest. Chronic stress, trauma, and really hard life experiences are taking a toll on your mind, body, and spirit. The fatigue, the feeling that your body is maxing out, the worry that you can't go on much longer like this - this is your deep knowing that something has to give.

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.
