Waitlist for new clients
My approach to therapy is rooted in connection and safety. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship for healing and growth, and I strive to create a safe, accepting space for each of my clients. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, psychodynamic perspective, exploring with clients how past experiences, attachment, and trauma have impacted them. I believe in the importance of acknowledging the whole self in the healing process, and I often incorporate ideas from Somatic Experiencing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, playtherapy/expressive arts, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into counseling.

I enjoy incorporating somatic and trauma informed yoga therapy when needed to help my clients connect to themselves and their feelings.
Do you feel overwhelmed by life? Have you had disappointments and things in your life that did not go as planned? Have you found yourself in a divorce and it feels like your world is falling apart? Maybe you are a couple that needs help getting back on track. Or perhaps you have things in your life that have happened that were traumatic to you? If so, you are in the right place! I love working with clients to help them heal from past wounds, teaching them skillsets that will help them grow and create new pathways in their brain. My goal is to be your guide in your healing journey.

I practice through a somatic lens and predominantly use elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Embodied Recovery when working with clients.
I am passionate about working with women, teens, and members of the LGBTQ+ community on issues like disordered eating and eating disorders, body image challenges (not only the way we see our bodies, but the way we experience them), people pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and depression. Currently, I am practicing with Kimberly Rate (License 4434) as my primary supervisor.

These exercises consist of somatic exercises like movement, yoga poses, Qigong, exercise, walking, nature, and mindfulness.
Worry happens in your mind, stress happens in your body, and anxiety happens in your mind and your body. In small doses, worry, stress and anxiety can be positive forces in our lives. But most of us are too worried, too stressed, and too anxious. How do we manage this worry, stress, and anxiety in a healthy manner? Lee’s strength is building rapport and holding space for her clients by listening and utilizing curiosity to learn about her clients.

I draw from trauma-informed and somatic-oriented therapeutic approaches and lean heavily on mindfulness.
Hi there, I’m Betsy. I believe that while pain and loss are inescapable facets of the human experience, we can integrate them into the rest of our story when we connect to the safe presence of another. My guiding assumption as a therapist is that you have an inner healing intelligence inside of you, and it’s our collaborative work to cultivate your relationship to them by processing old wounds and gently examining that which no longer serves you as you slowly come to reclaim your whole self. I work with adults who have experienced complex trauma, religious harm and deconstruction, end of life, and grief and loss.

I work from a somatic orientation, bringing in the foundational belief that repairing our relationships with our bodies is intrinsic to the healing process.
I primarily work with individuals with histories of complex or developmental trauma, as well as acute trauma. I appreciate working with people struggling with or recovering from disordered eating, body images issues, or diet culture. I frequently work with anxiety and worry, and have experience working specifically with health anxiety and panic. I welcome anyone who feels hesitant (or maybe even skeptical!) towards their emotions or therapy; often, our greatest fears and desires are hiding under ambivalence and doubt, and I love treading into those waters with people.

Through my experience and training, I approach healing from a holistic perspective and I utilize a variety of interventions including Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, trauma sensitive yoga, CRM, IFS, and Ketamine Assisted Therapy.
I believe that we all deserve support and at the core of personal transformation is a duality of self-compassion and desire for change. As humans we are intrinsically wired for connection, resiliency and healing. However, sometimes there are things from the past or other life stressors that cause us to feel stuck and that healing is out of our reach. I am deeply interested in the mind-body connection and believe reconnecting to our bodies can be incredibly transformational. I work with folks in adolescence and adulthood who are desiring to address trauma, optimal performance, depression, anxiety and life transitions.

EFT, EMDR, Somatic, CSAT, and Attachment theory guide my work.
Do you struggle with sex getting more daily attention than your closest relationships? Maybe a previous infidelity or betrayal continues to plague the relationship? Many of my clients struggle to make sense of emotions, but long to feel safe and connected to friends and family. Despite our best protective strategies, emotional experiences will not be ignored. Over a lifespan, adaptive protective strategies of the past become our prisons. Mal-adaptive in the present, old and helpful strategies of the past form the barriers to trusting safe and connected relationships we all desperately desire.

Talk therapy is not enough. My approach to therapy focuses on combining cognitive and somatic therapies to strengthen connection to self, and reduce the blocks to healing. The goal is to connect to your authenticity, and have the freedom to find positive and affirming ways to enjoy relationships with self and others. The goal is to experience life without shutting down or disconnecting, and/or using destructive behaviors to reduce pain and distress. Attaining the freedom to choose what you want for yourself, begins with taking the first step.

Being a human is hard. Things happen that leave us feeling lost and uncertain of what to do with it all. On top of that, we hold a lot of what happens to us in the body, creating a struggle between what we feel and what we know, and wreaking havoc on our ability to function in the here and now. I am passionate about exploring this struggle through the creative arts, somatic work, and talk therapy. Words aren’t always enough, and using a blend of these three approaches opens up a deeper well from within our spirits. From that well, new life springs forth and we connect with our most authentic self.

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.
