Somatic Therapists in Allentown, PA

An animal lover, a life-long advocate, and a forever student of personal development. Dedicated to supporting you in releasing the stress and overwhelm that comes along with being human, I’m a strong believer in teaching you the skills to affect change in your own life. It’s in my ethical code that you won’t be dependent on me as a psychotherapist to do the healing for you. Instead, I’ll teach you how to do it yourself, then we’ll celebrate when you eventually don’t need sessions with me at all!

It can be easy to feel lost in a demanding world where there seems to be no room for wellness. I am here to help you integrate mindfulness practices into your daily life to help ease distress. I will work with you to find stability within yourself utilizing somatic based therapies and existential exploration. Together we will take the journey in transcending beliefs, habits and thoughts that are no longer serving your highest well being.

Does your child lack motivation? Does your child constantly seem sad or angry? Are they having challenges managing their behavior and emotions at school or home? You are not alone. Throughout America, there are an estimated 15 million children and adolescents in need of therapy and concerned caregivers are seeking professional support. Let me support you and your family. My goal as a therapist is to support children, teens, young adults and families in developing the skills needed to cope appropriately with depression, anxiety, grief, behavioral challenges, and trauma.

Have you found yourself not getting much better from Talk Therapy sessions? Despite all of your efforts and work in progress, are you still struggling with rumination, confusion, exhaustion, numbness, sleeping and eating issues, avoidance, addiction, body image issues, guilt, shame, anger, irritability, sadness, feeling empty or void, loss of interest, self-limiting beliefs (I’m not good enough), and so forth? In over 8 years of clinical experience, I have observed profound healing in my clients by addressing the underlying causes of their distress.

Life can be difficult to navigate and can bring challenges to finding safety and security within the spaces we are in. You may be experiencing the following: struggling with the instability created throughout the pandemic, seeking support after coming out as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, exploring the impact of your cultural identity, or low-self esteem and body image issues that have worsened. I provide an affirming and strength-focused space for you to be heard as you address any of these areas and more. I cherish a warm, collaborative therapeutic style that allows you to join in designing the path that we explore together.

What if you had someone to process this with, without judgement? Life transitions are often filled with grief and loss, adjustment challenges, and relational changes.

Grief, trauma, insecurities, anxiety and depression do not discriminate. You are not alone. If you find it difficult to move beyond it and you feel stuck, this is normal. Our body keeps score and remembers. This is why I integrate techniques that connect the mind and body. It is important to release stored up tension and stress, as well as addressing our core beliefs about our experiences. While creating coping mechanisms is important I will also help you discover root causes and address obstacles in a holistic manner.

I am passionate about helping clients access their true selves and live their most abundant lives. Whether you are recovering from a traumatic event, experiencing a mental health concern, or simply feeling out of sync, I believe that you can experience healing through a helping relationship. I have specialized experience in working with foster families and children/adolescents as well as active duty military/veterans (and families), and issues including depression, anxiety, relationships, attachment, and childhood trauma.

Exploring emotions can be a profound journey, often beginning with the simplest of questions: How do you describe an emotion without using other emotional terms? This question underscores the instinctual nature of our feelings, guiding my approach to therapy. I believe in bringing awareness to these emotions, recognizing their inherent nature, and harnessing the strengths each person carries within them.

Folks needing a space to be uncensored and genuine. I make mindfulness and self-inquiry an approachable experience to address anxiety, depression, ADHD, traumatic life and interpersonal stress. We can go beyond traditional talk therapy and go deeper into self-understanding. LGBTQIA+, you are affirmed here. I work with teens and adults of all ages. The focus is to find ways to feel safe and take down walls at your pace. Folks seeking to expand understanding of themselves through changes in their nervous system and what body, beliefs, and values help us know. Find strength in honesty and being human.

Healing is a lifelong journey, and it is not one you must do alone. You are taking a courageous first step towards realignment with yourself. By untangling the past, we can begin to heal these wounds and reclaim the narrative of our lives. I companion clients navigating trauma, relational distress, gender and sexuality exploration, sexual concerns, and neurodivergence. In and out of the therapy space, I am sex-positive, sex worker friendly, poly-friendly, kink aware & affirming, and Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned.
