Authentic connection gives our lives meaning, but relationships are often difficult to navigate. Do you struggle with relationships? Find it difficult to know what you really want, and even harder to communicate it to others? Do you work so hard to keep everyone else happy that you feel disconnected from your own needs? It’s frustrating when your boundaries feel like lines in the sand—easily erased by demanding partners, bosses, colleagues, even friends. Is past trauma impacting your ability to connect in the present? For over 20 years, I’ve helped people just like you forge fulfilling relationships with others and with themselves.

My clients are incredible women who haven't felt like themselves lately, as life changes have derailed them and left them with increased anxiety, self doubt, and lost self esteem. If it's been hard to connect authentically with those around you and you want to be able to make decisions, engage with others, and handle recent changes with more confidence and peace, then I invite you to reach out.

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.

Life is full of surprises and often we are caught off guard. "I am not sure what else I can do", "Am I doing the right thing"," I just can't seem to get over my problem", "I wish I had someone to help me with my racing thoughts", " I want to be social but I am scared and need help". Does any of these statements resonate with you? Even successful people can have unresolved struggles. Depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and disturbing life experiences can block our happiness. I help my clients move beyond their stumbling blocks.

You seem to be good at everything *except* your relationship. You know something is off in your relationship, but maybe you just can't quite put your finger on it. Or you know exactly what the problem is, but you're clueless on how to change it. You don't want to give up, walk away, throw in the towel. You want to fight for your marriage. Perhaps there's be infidelity, perhaps many times over. Maybe your partner hid major issues or events, like debts or friendships, and now you can't heal from the betrayal and trust your partner again. Or perhaps you are the one holding the secret, and the shame is keeping you imprisoned in fear.

I love combining somatic/body-based interventions with expressive arts in my work with clients.
If you're here it means you are considering starting or continuing your journey towards healing. It can be overwhelming looking for help, not knowing what the process is like, or how to choose therapist that feels right to you. In my office you can bring what you need, whatever that looks like. Get comfortable, maybe you want to kick off your shoes and use the weighted blanket. It's not an overly formal, clinical setting but a place to come as you are as we gently explore how your past and present are interacting and hijacking the future you want.

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.

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.
