Hi! I'm so glad you are seeking support. We don't have to do this life alone (even if we want to, and trusting people feels impossible). As a therapist for almost 20 years, I love working with people experiencing ADHD, midlife transitions, anxiety, sober curious, and LGBTQIA. I think we can figure it out together.

As an intuitive therapist and energy healer, I look at ways to help the mind body and spirit. I love illuminating patterns in thoughts, emotions, behavior and relationships so that we can discern what no longer serves you. In order to find these patterns, I guide you inward through meditation, visualizations or hypnotherapy. We may use holistic tools and talk or hike in nature with my dog and talk. We use Mindfulness to tune you into your inner compass. I also assist with inner child healing and shadow work so you can truly feel healed. Our goal will be for you to feel connected and authentically yourself in any situation.

My approach combines traditional models of therapy through a somatic lens.
For some healing and growth can be a difficult experience. This is especially true if you have been in therapy before or have tried various treatment modalities and still feel like something is missing. Self-improvement takes time. Too much too fast can, in fact, be traumatic. My goal is to help you slow it down; to allow time for your process to unfold and integrate at a pace that creates lasting change.

Together we can identify past trauma(s), make connections between past and present, and identify relevant patterns. This process will allow you to understand anxious and/or traumatic responses and do the work to allow those parts of you to heal.

I often utilize red light therapy (medical grade), frequency therapy, DBT, and CBT, IFS, and Somatic approaches with my clients.

In session we cultivate present moment awareness, meeting cognitive, emotional, sensory, somatic, social and existential distress with compassion and curiosity.
We are all called to evolve beyond our survival level strategies designed to cope with wounding family systems, lineages and social systems. It is possible to integrate the legacy of trauma we have inherited and thrive in this lifetime. We are collectively facing monumental global challenges, socially, politically and environmentally, that amplifies this legacy, and hastens the call for us to cultivate greater capacity to stay present, grounded and lovingly engaged. Returning to wholeness requires reorienting towards mobilizing our rich inner and outer resources, shifting from generating suffering to unlocking liberation.

Have you ever noticed yourself feeling "stuck" in your thoughts, feelings, or behaviors? Do you experience an internal, exhausting, tug-of-war between your mind and body? This can feel overwhelming and lonely, leaving many people feeling powerless. This is a common feeling, one that I myself have experienced. Painful experiences, significant life changes, relationships, or past memories can begin to feel as though they have great power over us and the people we want to be. I am passionate about helping people name those thoughts, feelings, and memories in a safe relationship to begin the journey of healing and empowerment.

I take a holistic, body-centered approach to support your healing by using EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and processing emotions and past trauma.
You're calm on the outside, but inside is a rollercoaster of anxiety and stress. Overthinking and worrying runs your life and feeling relaxed seems impossible. No matter what you do, you feel overwhelmed with emotion or you numb out and feel nothing. You've been called "too sensitive", your self esteem is low, or feel like you're too much for people in your life. Maybe something happened in your past that still affects you and you wish you could get over it. Trauma and emotions feel trapped inside and you feel like you're in survival mode 24/7. You're tired of feeling this way and you're ready for a shift in how you experience life.

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.
