Somatic Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

In sessions, I provide education to my clients about how our feelings and emotions affect our brains and bodies. Many clients find it validating and comforting to know the effects and causes of their anxiety or depression. I find that incorporating different mindfulness techniques, such as intentional breathing and muscle relaxation, into sessions and into your life can help people feel more at peace and present in their daily lives.

As a counseling graduate student, I bring fresh perspectives and a commitment to creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Do your "symptoms" keep recurring despite your best efforts? Maybe you have recurring or chronic depression or anxiety, or are grieving a loss. Perhaps you feel like something is missing or wrong, even though you function well and have what others may consider a "good life." Or you might be struggling with your creativity, or with your identity. You may even understand that your struggles are rooted in childhood trauma, and yet, this insight hasn't led to much change... I would be honored to provide a safe space for you to deepen your healing journey, and help you get to know your true self.

You're ready to love who you truly are and face your future with a sense of hope. In our work together, you will gain a deeper respect for what makes you unique.

My passion is helping clients free themselves from their current problems while utilizing powerful techniques for transformation and recreation. Many of us carry wounds from the past we are not aware of, creating a cycle of repeated patterns often leading to self remorse and shame. Over time this can lead to dysfunctional relationships, health issues and difficulty trusting ourselves. My goal is for my clients to feel empowered in exactly who they are without any hindrance from past memories or relationships. Everyone carries deep wounds, but I believe it is truly possible to overcome them.

Life is hard. I'd love to help. Whether your problems feel big or you're wondering if they are "big enough" for therapy, you'd be surprised by the benefit you can get from having someone meet you where you're at. For those who have experienced scary, or traumatizing events or relationships, it can be difficult to move forward. We often feel stuck in the anxiety, depression, and negative thoughts that result.

I specialize in neurobiology-informed psychotherapy to address anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, attachment issues, etc.. My approach is integrative and whole person wellbeing focused. Psychological issues closely interact with physical health issues, such as chronic illness/pain, energy deficiency, sleeping, memory loss, eating/weight issues, etc. In therapy, I will work with you on the interdependent issues from psychological, biological, and environmental aspects and help you gain insights of your mind, body, and experiences, and use practical strategies to obtain healing and improve your quality of life.

The way I engage with therapy values you as the expert of your story and I am honored to hold space for you. I incorporate person-centered, emotion-focused therapy along with attachment and feminist theories. This means that I believe people are innately built for connection with others and I hope to invite you with empathy, honesty, and compassion as we work together to connect you with your authentic self and support systems. I like to gently challenge and laugh with clients during sessions, and I believe therapy can be most transformative through collaboration and vulnerability.

Finding a therapist, especially during periods of stress, can be extremely overwhelming. Yet, the connection, the solutions, and the relief that you can access in therapy is priceless.

Having the tools we need to navigate our way through life's challenges is often the key to greater happiness and fulfillment. I believe that human beings start from a place of health and resilience. When we have difficult or traumatic experiences, we can often be sidetracked by self-doubt, anxiety, depression and more. This can make life and relationships feel overwhelming, confusing and at times unmanageable. Therapy provides a safe space to explore and understand ourselves better while also developing the tools we need to move forward. Through this process, we can begin to heal from the past while creating a more intentional future.

My therapy style is informed by my desire to explore, understand, and empower my clients. I am Kink/BDSM, non-monogamy, body neutral and queer aligned. I believe therapy is political and a space where clients can be intentional about their identities. Topics that I particularly enjoy working with include gender affirming care, chronic pain, working through infidelity, aging, navigating multiple racial and cultural identities, and processing sexual trauma.

Whether you're going through a life transition, struggling in a relationship, or experiencing anxiety, it takes courage to seek help. Regardless of what you're going through, I want you to recognize that your resilience in life has brought you this far. I would like to help you from here by guiding you through this therapeutic process, as it may relate to personal trauma, early life experiences, and/or unhealthy patterns. I will help you unlock old patterns and beliefs about yourself that are no longer serving you or your relationships. I will support you in tapping into a deeper understand of who you are at your core.
