I offer support in the form of traditional talk therapy, coupled with EMDR and/or Somatic Experiencing.
My belief around therapy is to focus on what you want to accomplish, drawing from strengths you already possess. My style tends to be more active and interactive. Often individuals and couples face an impasse & may realize they might not have the tools to move forward. For some, it may be an ongoing concern like managing anxiety/depression, enhancing communication, healing from 'the past'. For some, there is an experience or event that is prohibiting forward movement.

Unsatisfying sex leaves us feeling inadequate, unloved, and disconnected. You may be fed up with sex feeling like a chore rather than fun and pleasure-filled, feeling like your relationship (with yourself or a partner) has gone stagnant or feeling disappointed, sad, and lonely. You might be wondering how it even got this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to reconnect with yourself and your partner. You’re ready to have pleasure-filled and fun sex. Most of all, you’re ready to embody your authentic sexual self.

I know what it's like to feel stuck, to second guess yourself, and to struggle with trusting others. Low self-worth, anxiety, stress, fear, and difficulty expressing/controlling emotions can be debilitating. Often times, these struggles come with dysfunctional beliefs and unhelpful thinking patterns. You are not alone. Healthy & meaningful relationships are attainable. Hope can be restored, healing can be found, and life can be renewed.

As a trauma-informed professional, I use a variety of interventions ranging from somatic to cognitive, to meet the individual needs of my clients.
Welcome. My name is Samatha and I specialize in areas often related to interpersonal trauma such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and issues of social inequity. Interpersonal trauma can include anything from childhood trauma that occurs in the family of origin, to ongoing discrimination in everyday life. Often times, trauma interferes with our ability to trust others and the world around us. This makes it very difficult to feel safe and secure in our own skin. It can be challenging to engage in the present moment and feel fulfilled, and it can compromise our health in many ways.

I work from a somatic, bottom-up perspective.
Spiritual/Religious abuse & early childhood trauma look similar in adults, and I work with both populations. Both create relational conflict. Both create guilt, shame, isolation, fear of abandonment, and rejection that may look like codependence, relationship avoidance, anxiety, and depression. Both cause you to lose sight of who you are. There's a root, and my goal is to help you heal that root so you can see yourself differently and connect with others from a healthier mindset, thus engaging in healthier relationships. Find your confidence, your inner self.

I have extensive training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), IFS/parts work, Somatic Experiencing, ART, and more.
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 take a holistic approach to counseling, incorporating CBT talk therapy, somatic therapy methods, and active meditation.
As a somatic therapist, my goal is to help you create safety and acceptance within yourself, allowing you to release the challenges and stories of your past.

My work combines somatic therapy with practices for nervous system regulation to help you release layers of tension, emotion, and limiting beliefs. Through this work, you can gain access to your most authentic self and begin to live in a more meaningful and awakened way.

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.

Utilizing trauma-informed narrative work, emotionally focused attachment therapy, somatic processing, and EMDR, I help individuals and couples navigate and heal from past wounds.
Our trauma is not merely an event; it's a deeply felt wound narrating stories of harm, neglect, and betrayal, deeply embedded in the fabric of our being. It interrupts our narrative, demanding to be acknowledged and engaged with. I believe sharing our story and mourning our wounds serves to both honor and restore dignity to the parts of ourselves that have faced shame and harm. My passion lies in assisting clients by helping them tell their stories and gently uncovering the pain, thereby revealing paths to healing and growth, leading to thriving life patterns, enriching relationships, and building a resilient, secure sense of self

I utilize a mix of therapeutic approaches including: feminist, attachment based, experiential, somatic, and internal family systems (IFS).
My passion is to help you uproot your trauma rather than just treat symptoms (which can often feel unhelpful and frustrating long-term). I frequently work with complex trauma/complex PTSD, insecure attachment patterns, LGBTQIA+ identities, ADHD, and Autism. Clients often come to me feeling "stuck", deeply misunderstood, repeating painful patterns, having had negative therapy experiences in the past, feeling like "nothing works", and have a history of intellectualizing their feelings. It is my goal to help you work through your trauma, navigate your identity, and feel more present and safe in your every day life.

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.

Life often feels like too much. It can leave us feeling lost, misunderstood, and alone.

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.
