As a somatic psychotherapist specializing in trauma & relationships, I help my clients understand their thoughts & feelings, while uncovering the untold stories hidden in their bodies.
Many people have been hurt in relationships. Yet, we often forget the capacity for learning, growth & healing these experiences can offer. I use evidence-based, holistic approaches to help clients uncover patterns, explore emotions, & develop coping skills that promote growth & recovery. Trauma & unresolved emotions often become "trapped" in our bodies & unconsciously compel us to repeat the same cycles, which we feel powerless to change. In addition to supporting my client’s relationships to themselves & to others, I help them regain a sense of empowerment & agency over their lives & a sense of safety in their mind, body, & spirit.

I am a relational body-centered, somatic psychotherapist specializing in the resolution of overwhelming life events and trauma.
I believe that we humans heal in the context of relationship and that therapy is the process in which we find our way to our whole selves. In the therapy room, I join with clients to co-create their unique path to wholeness by realizing their inherent strengths and utilizing them to developing a 'tool belt' of strategies for which to work through life's struggles. Together we orient to the client's inherent capacity to gain mastery of their own functioning from the lens of their truth.

While focusing on specific goals, we may incorporate yoga breathing, stretching or strengthening, body awareness and self-regulation techniques from Somatic Experiencing, or distress tolerance skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
**I'M NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME.** Life can be challenging but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. My specialty is in working with the effects of unresolved trauma, including anxiety and depression. I incorporate a mind/body treatment approach combining somatic psychotherapy, yoga, and mindfulness all based on an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma. My hope is that I can help each person who chooses to work with me to feel empowered to become the conductor of their own journey rather than being at the mercy of past or present life circumstances.

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.
