Breathwork, somatic exercises, and guided meditation play a big role in my practice.
Are you seeking a sense of belonging and a connection to yourself? Are you so burnt out, you don't recognize your dreams anymore? My ideal client is ready to end the war with themselves and embrace their metamorphosis. I adore working with the girls, gays, and theys (lgbtqia+ community) on gender and sexuality discovery, as well as navigating life as a queer person. This is someone who needs a space to process, grieve, and celebrate their queerness as they learn to embrace themselves. My practice focuses on folks struggling with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and codependency. Are you ready for transformation?

I utilize modalities like Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Work, and love to incorporate the Enneagram.
I have found that my love for adventure and exploration has bled into the work I like to do in therapy. I struggle with "surface level" in the same way I have always struggled with small talk. I want to go deeper into what has shaped the lives of others and how this has impacted their current level of functioning. Ideally, I want to work with people who are interested in doing the same. The ones who are ready to take the ride and see what lies beneath. Within us is an entire universe of possibility, you just have to be open to it.

I offer several modalities of therapy tailored to your unique needs, along with brainspotting as a somatic therapy to help process trauma and move through difficult emotions.
Are you struggling with feeling stuck in your life? You know what you want to accomplish but feel paralyzed by feelings of anxiety, depression and fear in your body. You've been able to manage life by avoiding your emotions, but lately it just feels like too much. You are ready to seek support and finally feel some relief from past trauma and live a life where you feel present, calm, and motivation to continue pursuing your life goals for you and your family without the mental blocks getting in your way. You may have tried therapy before, but feel like nothing has worked and feel ready to try brain-body based approach.

It’s shocking how many people believe that suffering is normal. They muddle through life doing the very best they can, putting out crisis after crisis, not even recognizing that there’s a better way. It's impossible to get a handle on things when you feel like the world is on fire. You're panicked, you're depressed, relationships suffer, work suffers, your relationship with yourself suffers- there isn't a piece of your life it doesn't touch. Every ounce of energy you have goes to trying to keep it all from collapsing. IF you sleep, you wake up and you start again- doing it all over the next day. This isn't life, this is survival.

Everywhere you look everyone seems filled with joy, but you are filled with dread. Going through the motions, putting on a smiling face, covering up that you're barely handling your responsibilities has left you physically and emotionally exhausted. Your life has become an act of pretending everything is fine. But, you know the truth: everything is not fine. You want to change, to feel that spark of joy again, to live life fully and authentically. With each new year, you swear this time will be different. You'll accomplish your goals, you'll do things differently. You'll finally be happy. But how?

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.
