Through the work of Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) I help women heal from sexual and religious trauma.
You find it difficult to trust others, even those close to you. You may have intrusive memories that disrupt your daily life, replaying the event(s) over and over again. You wonder: Will I ever feel safe and whole again? Am I forever broken, unable to experience love and intimacy? You fight heartache of unfulfilled relationships and the fear of being abandoned or unloved. You're haunted by the same patterns of insecurity and self-sabotage. BUT: You’re ready to wake up each morning feeling a sense of inner peace, unburdened by the weight of shame and guilt from religious trauma. You no longer have to navigate the darkness alone!

What is SE? Somatic Experiencing® method is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma, chronic pain and other stress disorders.
My clients often come to counseling feeling broken and lost from grief and unresolved trauma, struggling with anxiety, fear and depression. Past experiences may have led them to believe they are only their brokenness, clouding any other awareness of who they are or what their life holds. I offer a safe, supportive environment to begin to explore those experiences and discover strength, healing, and resilience.

In my practice, I utilize psychoanalytic and somatic (body-mind) therapy.
The most important aspect of therapy is a trusting relationship in which one feels valued, understood, recognized and seen. I work with people who want to understand the connections between past experiences and patterns in their current lives to have more satisfying relationships. The people I work with want to feel connected to others, repair past relationships, participate in corrective and reparatory experiences, understand their feelings, actions and thoughts, and be at peace with themselves. Many suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, body image or eating, and find themselves in challenging periods of transitions.

I draw on a blend of therapeutic approaches like Inner Child Work, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and somatic embodiment, depending on your unique needs.
Trauma..People Pleasing..Anxiety - Are you feeling disconnected from the person you want to be? Perhaps your boundaries feel unclear, your inner critic is louder than your inner cheerleader, or your self-esteem feels stuck. Maybe you’ve noticed patterns of burn out, difficulty speaking up, self sabotage, or struggle to live fully in alignment with your values. You might be realizing you have trauma (generational trauma, even) and family issues that need to be processed so you can move forward. If any of this resonates, know that you're not alone—and you're already taking the first brave step toward change just by being here.

Have you ever wished therapy was longer than a single session because you’re just scratching the surface? It doesn’t have to be like this forever! Invest in a Custom Trauma Therapy Intensive to get a head start while saving time and money in the long run. You don’t have the time, money, or energy to “test drive” therapists. Therapy is for you, the client, so I like to learn the preferences you want for how your sessions will go. This helps you feel at ease, heard, and understood from the start. (We start with Intensives at a higher rate then move to individual sessions but less frequently than if you were just starting.)

I utilize mindfulness, EMDR, somatic exploration, compassion and connectedness to support clients in building safety, reprocessing trauma and increasing their well being.
Do you find that you have always felt different or highly sensitive? Are you anxious and overwhelmed in social situations or maybe noting that you have sensory sensitivities, or processing issues that make certain interactions challenging? This can be very alienating and exhausting to manage and can lead to self esteem issues and challenges like anxiety, depression, and increased instances of trauma. You may already have a diagnosis such as Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia or Bipolar. In my therapy, I pull away from harmful "cure" based approaches, and instead, into approaches that nurture self-acceptance and healing.

I use EMDR, IFS, and somatic models to help you reconnect with yourself.
Do you ruminate on past failures? Are you consumed with thoughts of “What if?” Is decision-making a source of stress for you? Unresolved emotional wounds can overwhelm us with mistrust in ourselves, the world, and others. Trauma can lead to a disconnection resulting in feelings of pain and isolation. I know because I lived with constant feelings of overwhelm and uncertainty. Unresolved trauma impacted my marriage, my children, and my career. I found healing through therapy and yoga. I want to help you get on the other side of trauma, intrusive thoughts, mistrust, and anxiety.

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.
