Specializing in Somatic, EMDR, IFS, Polyvagal and CBT Approaches, I understand trauma is stored in the body and that healing requires treating both the mind and the body and focusing on the innate parts of us that have allowed us to be resilient through traumatic experiences or the everyday stressors of life that can also provide us the opportunity to heal.

I am deeply passionate about assisting others in finding healing and freedom in their lives from the demands and stressors life can bring.

I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, with extensive training in somatic and mindfulness-based approaches, as well as EMDR therapy.
You're incredibly insightful and self-aware. You’ve read countless self-help books about healing - your copy of The Body Keeps the Score has been read through so many times it's falling apart. You know your attachment style and can identify the attachment styles of those around you. You know how to label your thoughts as irrational but then don’t know what to do with the actual feelings you’re experiencing. You’re aware of the same patterns that keep coming up for you over and over again, yet you feel powerless to actually change them. You've tried so many different things, yet you’re still feeling anxious, depressed, and confused.

I am trauma-informed and I utilize ego state work/parts, somatic, and attachment theory with EMDR to treat trauma and other distressing life experiences.
My treatment philosophy is based on our capacity to heal. My primary means of treatment is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR reprocesses traumatic memories. Our brains use thought patterns to bring ideas, feelings and sensations to the forefront without discrimination. In instances of unresolved trauma, our ability to move forward in our lives is blocked, because thought patterns allow past trauma to continue to be replayed as if happening in the present. I collaborate with my clients via EMDR to reprocess trauma, allowing the brain to let natural healing occur.

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.
