Somatic Therapists in Columbus, OH

Are you suffering from trauma, anxiety, fear, shame, anger, addiction(substance, codependency or relationship), low self worth, relationship conflict, having difficulty managing stress, or are tired of pushing through life? Do you sabotage yourself in attempting to reach your potential or find it difficult to live joyfully, struggle with connecting passionately in relationships, or living life in the moment? I will support you in attracting and creating the life you want. I offer approaches that guide you from trying to figure out life to learning to live intentionally and passionately in the moment.

Are you open and curious about how to create more ease in your life? Much of our stress, anxiety and depression is the result of our natural reaction to perceived emotional and physical threats. You may have heard fight, flight or freeze responses. We were born with these natural reactions and they helped us survive. Mindfulness based counseling along with cutting edge techniques can help you develop more awareness and with a little practice and a sense of humor you can calm and nurture the too easily frightened part of us. Overtime awareness, practice and brain plasticity can create authentic change within.

Do you often feel stuck in your head, replaying the same situations over and over? Do you have the thought that you have one foot stuck in the past?

Even positive experiences may be filtered through negative beliefs, causing us to doubt their validity. Trauma can affect every aspect of our life, from our ability to manage feelings, have fulfilling relationships with others and ourselves to our ability to live healthy lives.

Hello! I have been working in mental health for 15 years. I specialize in working with individuals of all ages, with special interest and care given to neurodivergence, trauma work, generational trauma/relational concerns and somatic work.

I am experienced in working a variety of clients, and specialize in working with athletes and individuals interested in Athletes who work with me may be recovering from an injury, transitioning out of sport, or struggling with any issue that is interfering with performance. Non-athletes who work with me may have a history of abuse, a history of mental health problems, experience dissociative symptoms, or substance abuse challenges that are interfering with daily life.

My focus is to help individuals heal, take action in their lives, and become aware of their inner strengths. This is achieved by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan together. My approach is ideal for those suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, and highly sensitive people.

Something isn't working; maybe nothing is working. You are likely in a difficult moment in your life and looking for help. If you are an athlete or exerciser, you may be experiencing disruptions to your performance, losing your focus or your mental edge, having difficulty sleeping or maintaining your nutrition plan. Perhaps relationships, work, substances, or mental health symptoms are throwing you off your game. You want to be in charge of your life and your goals again and you need someone who gets it. Your work with me will steer you back to yourself and toward reaching the goals of who you want to be as your best self.

Becoming integrated and feeling whole is a process. The beauty is we are all capable of healing. Traumatic events in our lives via developmental stressors or one-time occurrences can greatly impact us and how we cope in the world. The coping skills early on were our best survival skills but may not work for us now. Time in counseling, reflection and motivation can help us move forward. Healing is possible and I believe this wholeheartedly.

We all share human experience of facing challenges, seeking understanding, and desiring emotional well-being. I've lived with the challenges of navigating life between two cultures, enduring the complexities and confusion that often accompany such a unique upbringing. My lived experience ignited me to develop a skill set to effectively support other women, mothers and children of immigrants living in the diaspora. As a MENA therapist, I understand this step can be daunting. I hope you take comfort in me being here to support you on your journey and guide you towards discovering the inherent healing power within yourself.
