Along with a Master's Degree in Counseling, I have over 20 years of training and supervision as a Nondual Kabbalistic Healer, 30+ years of experience teaching expressive arts classes, training in The Constellation Approach, trauma-specific trainings that include a somatic-based Trauma & Attachment Mastery program, plus other resources.
Together, we'll create a safe space that helps you search for and find your unique answers. Rather than focus on disorders, we'll explore where your journey is leading you. My foundation in creativity, energy work and spirit-mind-body approaches will help you discover insights that lead to transformation. My clients include psychotherapists, parents, holistic leaders, artists, grandparents, writers, students, professionals-people who sense that pain and longing don't mean a person is broken; such experiences are simply a call toward greater wholeness. I'll compassionately receive, support and guide as you navigate life's challenges.

Utilizing evidence-based interventions using cultural humility and DBT, CBT and Somatic practices .
My experience has allowed me to support individuals navigating various life transitions, LGBTQ + experiences and needs, career changes, grief/loss, anxiety, trauma, and recovery from compulsive behaviors and individuals impacted by neurodevelopmental conditions. Whether you are seeking to develop coping/ management skills or simply open to guidance in navigating life's complexities, I am here to assist. In my experience the individuals that have benefited the most from our work together are those who are motivated to engage in self-reflection and are committed to addressing patterns that no longer serve them.

I work with clients ranging in age from adolescence through adulthood. Therapists typically describe themselves by listing the disorders they treat, such as depression, anxiety, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Though I have significant experience with all of these issues, I view many symptoms as important expressions of an internal struggle that may have begun long before clients seek therapy. These symptoms often and understandably create misery, but I believe that approaching them with curiosity may ultimately provide a path to reducing or even eliminating them.

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.
