My mixed-method approach often uses aspects of CBT, parts work, mind-body connection and somatic therapies.
Trauma can often root itself and interrupt the mind-body connection, impacting how we see ourselves and interact with the world around us. Together, we can process these experiences and explore ways to move forward. My treatment approach is individualized to honor the unique experiences of each individual. I will take the time to gather a holistic view that prioritizes what is important to you. I strive to make sure clients will always feel respected and the key driver of their healing experience.

I am trained in EMDR and often draw on somatic therapies, attachment theory, and parts work.
Experiencing trauma, loss, or upheaval is destabilizing and isolating. It can erode the relationships we value the most while making us call into question our sense of identity. Even if we avoid consciously thinking about it, the imprint of our past can wreak havoc on our physical health, our nervous system, and our present experience. The healing process asks us tune into our intuition and our bodies so that we can notice which parts of ourselves most need our attention and care. I can offer tools and support for those seeking to regain a sense of safety and connection with themselves, others, and the world around them.

I use Emotionally focused, Narrative, IFS, CBT, expressive arts, Somatic & Mindfulness to support women processing grief, and unprocessed emotions that may be creating emotional blocks.
Are you looking for a beginning, that pays attention to the subtle healing and shifts that you are making and wanting to bring into the world? Often times, the areas of our life that are not working well are guided by trauma informed emotional patterns and feeling habits, that pull us away from self trust, progress and healing. Fear and the energy it holds can unconsciously play a role in self sabotage, anxiety and counter manifesting. Using expressive arts, IFS, food science, poetry, spiritual awareness and a holistic approach, I can help you connect to your mind/body intuition. I also provide walk and talk therapy in Seattle.

My approach uses evidence-based practices of Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy, combined with humor, self-attunement, and somatic awareness.
At one time or another, we all find ourselves stuck and struggling to move ahead. We have learned to cope and move through our lives using tools and coping mechanisms that have worked in some ways, but have not allowed us to feel grounded, comfortable, or fully happy with our lives as we progress through them. My job is to work collaboratively with you to create safety and trust through which we can help you develop skills and gain insights, allowing you to reclaim happiness and comfort in your life.

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?

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.
