I am best suited for working with BIPOC women experiencing life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, work/relationship/motherhood balance, and impacts of trauma. I integrate somatic techniques such as EMDR and yoga practices to strengthen a mind-body connection. I believe BIPOC women can heal wounded parts and deconstruct negative beliefs when we get curious. Together, we can 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.

I utilize Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems techniques, incorporating warmth, humor, and non-judgment with insightful challenges that encourage growth and capitalize on self-acceptance.
Transitioning from what we’ve known our whole life to a new beginning (or even just a new depth) is difficult. It means giving up beliefs or ways of living that didn’t serve us. And when we give up what we’ve known our whole life, it’s hard to envision a new way forward. Sometimes before we can make big changes, we have to understand the past. I believe our bodies hold our stories of struggle and when we don’t fully process what's within us, we can get stuck in our transitions. We will work together to shine a light on life experiences and traumas, and dusty old habits and beliefs that may be holding you back.

Your body never feels right; you’re constantly tense and physically uncomfortable. Headaches, stomach issues, and difficulty sleeping are a few of your frequent problems. You feel stuck in the same place, feeling the same emotions and sensations over and over again. Your thoughts race and spin up negative thoughts about yourself and the world. You’ve been searching for relief from persistent anxiety, depression, and emotional pain. You don’t know when it started or where it came from, but you need help healing, and nothing has worked.

Unlike a traditional therapist, I use a holistic approach, blending of therapeutic modalities that include somatic therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), mindfulness.
You’re standing at the crossroads—your child teetering on the edge of adulthood—surrounded by a whirlwind of emotions. I know you wish to see your child thrive. Let’s talk and navigate this pivotal time together. The teen and young adult years are a complex dance of joy, confusion, and worry. The path forward, though full of potential, may seem treacherous. You wonder if they're making the right choices, if they're prepared for the world, how to best support them without hovering. The emotional rollercoaster, the shifting dynamics, and the late-night worries are overwhelming. But you don't have to go through this alone.

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.
