I typically blend EMDR with experiential, somatic, IFS/Parts Work and mindfulness techniques to not only provide you with practical tools to cope with the issues you are experiencing day-to-day, but allow you to fully heal old wounds and to live in the present moment.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I am passionate about helping my clients shed their burdens and feel more empowered in their lives. I believe each of us has innate healing powers that can become overcome by trauma, leaving us feeling stuck, frozen, or in states of panic. EMDR is a research-based approach that can be combined with other methods to allow old "stuck" memories to become processed, thereby relieving you of unwanted negative thoughts and feelings. I have been honored to witness my clients experience profound transformations using EMDR, and I am excited to now offer EMDR Intensives!

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner which means we will gently explore how traumas you have experienced are impacting you in the present, and we will find a way to release you from patterns that no longer serve you.
Do you appear to have it together on the outside but on the inside feel uncertain or broken? Do you put on a mask before going out into the world but in reality you are struggling to move through your day? Are you fearful others may see the real you? These experiences are common and you don't have to go through it alone. If you want to start to trust yourself, to find your inner wisdom, and to thrive rather than survive, then working with me in a body-based, trauma informed approach may be the missing piece of your puzzle.

If you are trying to manage intrusive worries, sadness, or grief, it's possible your body and mind may be signaling a need for greater attention and care. Often this is our soul's way of asking for a deeper connection to ourselves and others. Reaching out for support requires courage and some willingness to be vulnerable. If you are ready, we will begin by developing a secure foundation based on identifying and honoring your strengths and resilience before exploring difficult topics. We will take an approach that includes a somatic awareness which invites you to notice what's rising inside your body, not just your mind.

I am confident in many therapeutic approaches, but,CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Person Centered Theory, Solution Focused, and Somatic Experiencing are my primary therapeutic approaches.
Are you not feeling like yourself? Have you been feeling “stuck”, have you experienced emotional or relational trauma, struggle with Depression, or engage in self-criticism; I can help. As a therapist, I created a space where you can heal and just BE. While in therapy, you will overcome trauma, manage your depression/ anxiety, walk away from self-criticism and lean towards self-compassion and self-love.

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.
