“Some days it is all I can do to just breathe, much less get out of bed. No one seems to understand what I am going through, and I have lost sight of myself.” If you have said these things or have these thoughts, you are not alone. Life is full of ups, downs, twists, and turns. It tends to create challenges that may seem impossible to overcome and leave you struggling. Life struggles can have an impact on the way you perceive yourself and/or the world. You don’t have to work through these challenges alone.

Choosing counseling can be a monumental step in life's journey. I consider it a privilege to come along side you as you are seeking insight, growth and change. I enjoy working with women via phone therapy. My approach to counseling involves consideration of the whole person. Your mind, your body and your spirit. I utilize several counseling theories - Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Emotion-Focused, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy among others. Mostly though, I focus on meeting you where you are and without judgment so that you can experience the growth you desire.

The school year has barely begun and you are already feeling signs of anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout on the horizon. Your to-do list is so long that you feel as though it will never get done and you are already two days behind this week (and it’s only Monday!). You are sacrificing time with your family, friends, and yourself to make sure that your classroom and lessons are Insta-worthy. As a former teacher, I understand feeling overwhelmed, underappreciated, and alone. I can help you work through the “labyrinth” of teaching. You are not alone, and you can be successful without sacrificing your sanity, or your relationships.

Reaching out and asking for help is one of the hardest yet most vital parts of growth and self improvement in our lives. We all need help at some point - yes, even me! Therapy can not only help in dealing with the chaos life throws at us, but also help us learn how and when to ask for that help. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a safe environment to explore oneself and improve overall mental health. I'm also incredibly passionate about advocating for the expansion of mental health awareness through psychoeducation and increasing access to quality care.

I am the ideal therapist for someone who doesn’t think they need therapy. Perhaps wonders if it will even work.. Skeptical Men. Exhausted Women. Socially Challenged Teens. Or even that family or couple that looks incredible from the outside… but inside it’s a completely different story. You may not realize, but studies have shown that the connection and shared energy between therapist and client is the best indicator of likelihood of therapeutic success. If you get a sense that we may be a good fit for each other, lets get you on a path of healing. Let's skip ahead to the part where life starts to get better.

Before you read on, take a moment to breathe. Inhale slowly, breathing in through your nose, filling your chest with air. Notice your chest rise, expanding until it feels tight. Now hold that breath; hold it for just a few beats… And release. Release all that air in one long slow breath out through your mouth. Notice your shoulders droop and your mind clear, ever so slightly. This might the first full breath you’ve taken in a long time. And it’s no wonder why: life can overwhelm us with so much worry, anger, doubt, shame, and sadness that we feel breathless.

Morning hits you like a bag of bricks - trying to remember if you slept at all. The rumblings of fear in your chest and nausea in your stomach started several weeks ago. You put them on the back burner hoping they would go away and things would get better, but now the anxiety is turning into moments of panic and depression. Worries about your family, your health, being able to provide...the anticipation of what will come all play in the back of your mind. The more you try to hold it all together, the worse it gets. The loss of a world as you know it and fearful anticipation leave you feeling shut down, isolated, and powerless.

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.
