I integrate somatic practices such as EMDR (trauma healing) and yoga into therapy, recognizing the importance of the mind-body connection in healing.
I created As You Are Counseling to support and uplift BIPOC women on their intimate journey to healing and liberation. I believe in decolonizing mental health and honoring your lived experience. Through self-compassion, connection, and curiosity I believe BIPOC women can heal wounded parts and deconstruct negative beliefs. Together we will increase your level of self-awareness, learn mind-body practices, increase your capacity to manage life's stressors and create healthy boundaries. Ultimately, allowing you to feel more confident and in control of your life.

My extensive training & experience in proven trauma therapies such as EMDR, IFS, Brainspotting & somatic therapy allows me to help adults heal their inner child from complex trauma experiences, explore all aspects of themselves to become more self-actualized versions of themselves, leave intergenerational trauma behind & reframe themselves as survivors.
Have you found yourself overwhelmed by the weight of past trauma either from childhood abuse, intergenerational trauma, or sexual assault & feeling stuck with the memories playing out in your head? Or maybe you’ve been saying “I need to get back to my old self,” or “I’ve been dealing with a lot lately” & hoping for the insight or tools to change that? I work with adults & LGBTQIA folks just like you: ones that have it within them to thrive again after trauma & life challenges, but just need the support to tap into their strengths to get there or support gathering & sorting pieces of life to make sense of everything.

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.
