I facilitate holistic psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, reiki, and somatic approaches to reprogram the body and brain.
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!

I am committed to providing a holistic treatment approach and understand that the healing process involves the body, brain, and connecting with others, so I incorporate somatic practices and collaborate with caregivers.
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.

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.

I am also a trained yoga teacher and love to approach treatment from a somatic framework.
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. If you find yourself going round and round in your head, reach out - I'd love to help. I work primarily with pregnancy/postpartum, pregnancy & infant loss, surrogacy, and infertility, but love all stages of life transition work.

I employ solution focused interventions, CBT, and somatic modalities.
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.

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.

Your love life has been feeling a little stale. The stress of the relationship is overwhelming. All you do is fight and argue. You don’t even know if you should stay or go at this point. They’ve been unfaithful and you’re unsure how to move past it and begin to trust again. The exhaustion from never having enough help around the house is so deep in your bones now. Then, he has the audacity to expect sex over a three minute chore that he didn’t even do right. She won’t stop nagging you over every little thing, and rarely puts out. Those step kids don’t act right!

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.
