I work collaboratively and compassionately, using approaches rooted in somatic principles, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems, which tap into these natural abilities, regulate the nervous system, and treat trauma and accumulated life stress.
Do you notice yourself getting stuck in the same old patterns? Are feelings of shame and guilt constantly overtaking your mind and body, leaving you with the painful belief that you aren't good or deserving enough? Have you found yourself desperately trying to take control of your life through management strategies that used to serve you well enough, but now only seem to make things worse? If any of these questions resonate with you, know there is hope and a way through into a life of compassion, confidence, and peace.

Fremont, NE 68025
I take a nonjudgmental trauma-informed approach, recognizing the somatic components of mental health. I am especially interested in working with neurodiverse adults and teens. I believe that a mental health diagnosis isn’t something you need to be afraid of, rather it can be a key to discovering your superpowers and what you really want out of your life. I also travel nationwide to cofacilitate and provide spaceholding for somatic and spiritual retreats.

Inevitably, we all encounter periods in our lives in which what we've learned to that point isn't sufficient for the challenges we now face. I believe therapy can be a safe, supportive environment in which to better understand ourselves and the world and to revisit what we want in life and how to get there. Whether you are dealing with significant anxiety or depression, or simply need a new environment to learn your way through new challenges with a helping eye and ear, I bring a humorous, creative, curious and open-minded approach to helping you progress through life's challenges.

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.
