Aiming to thrive and not solely survive? Despite our adverse experiences or current circumstances, we can find ourselves wanting to find more meaning in life. I help clients slow down to closely examine the obstacles that are interfering with their ability to live the life they envision. My approach to counseling is to learn to love yourself as you are while working on your areas of growth. We are all worthy of self-love and self-compassion, but all too often this is absent in our lives. My hope is that through this process you find your true self and are courageous enough to embrace and live out your most authentic life!

Is it time for a reset? Do you look at your life and say, "what a mess, I am stuck!"? Maybe you've tried counseling before or maybe have been afraid to ask for help. I provide a sacred space to notice without labeling things as good, bad, right or wrong. As we sit with uncomfortable emotions, we notice where those feeling are showing up in the body, then we can change how we respond to them and handle them differently. This is where true shift happens.

Sometimes in life we feel stuck, helpless, or alone. Sometimes it seems as though it will be impossible to feel anything good again. There is hope! It is my goal to help you determine your individual skills and strengths in order for you to get back to your best self. We will also look at how physical health and implement small changes that might be helpful. I generally work with grief, anxiety management, bettering relationships, adjusting to life changes, and educating others about mental health and well-being.

While trauma can leave deep wounds and lasting scars, I believe you are infinitely more than a diagnosis, list of symptoms, or your worst experiences. You deserve to be treated as a whole person with unique needs and desires. My job as your therapist is to help you use your natural gifts and abilities to meet those needs and achieve your goals.

Before you read on, take a moment to breathe. Inhale slowly, breathing in through your nose, filling your chest with air. Notice your chest rise, expanding until it feels tight. Now hold that breath; hold it for just a few beats… And release. Release all that air in one long slow breath out through your mouth. Notice your shoulders droop and your mind clear, ever so slightly. This might the first full breath you’ve taken in a long time. And it’s no wonder why: life can overwhelm us with so much worry, anger, doubt, shame, and sadness that we feel breathless.

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.
