Somatic Therapists in Washington
Based on a foundation of trust, our work together will go beyond talk therapy to include mindfulness skills and somatic inquiry.
My practice is currently full. I help adults increase a sense of stability and resource in times of shift and change. I offer a safe place for you to bring your experience of anxiety, depression, anger, or your struggles with recovery. I work from the perspective that in order to connect with inherent strength and resilience, you don't have to edit or bypass what you're feeling. It's not one or the other. In addition to my work with individuals, I help couples who are struggling find new ways to connect and live with greater ease and joy.

My approach is deeply relational, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, based in attachment and family systems theory, Somatic Experiencing, and Energy Fluency therapy.
Seeking therapy can be a daunting process, while also being one step toward greater wholeness/healing. Relationship is where we are both wounded and healed. I work with individuals seeking relief from distressing symptoms such as; demanding too much of yourself, finding it hard to trust self, trust your own experience, self-soothing through addictive behaviors, pleasing others at your own expense, anxiety, depression, CPTSD. Our patterns of relating develop early within our first attachments, so our journey might include visiting some of those relationships to wonder how they impact you in the here and now.

I seek to create a space where all the different aspects of who you are may feel welcome. Compassion and trust are at the core of our work. Together, we will pay attention to the specific issue that brought you into counseling, as well as various aspects of your life and relationships. I love exploring the connection between the mind and the body, and for folks who are eager to explore this connection, I integrate counseling with BodyTalk (a biofeedback-based somatic modality).

I specialize in somatic psychotherapy, where I observe what the body is saying and work "from the bottom up" to affect change in thoughts, moods and behaviors.
When a client comes to me of their own choosing and is ready to make a difference in their life, this contributes a lot to their success in sessions with me. They are often experiencing somatic and mood issues, feel confused about decisions they need to make and are disconnected from their center. They are often looking for clarity of purpose, and for courage. Their need for love and belonging is often at the forefront of other issues, and our work is to forge a pathway to experience this.

Hypnosis, Family Constellations, Somatic and Depth Psychology all reach the subconscious for deep lasting change.
Why does this keep happening? Why can't I let this go? Why do I find myself in the same relationship over and over? Most of our personal challenges in life come from events in our early childhood or are passed down from trauma in our families. Theses things are challenging to heal or transform when we either don’t remember what they are or never knew to begin with. Even with events we do remember it can be hard to get to a place of transformation. That is why I work with modalities that get deep into the the unconscious so that change can take place on that deep level that is very challenging to get to with thinking and talking.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, providing counseling and psychotherapy to individuals. My role as therapist is to utilize the therapeutic relationship to foster self-awareness, growth, and change. I approach my work from an Integrative Theoretical Perspective that is holistic, humanistic and client-centered in approach. Although I draw from a wide range of theoretical perspectives, I am most influenced by Mindfulness Based CBT and Stress Reduction, IFS (Internal Family Systems), Somatic Therapy and EMDR, examined through an anti-oppressive framework. I currently work with individuals only and am no longer seeing couples.

I'm trained in EMDR and use this frequently, while drawing from contemplative and somatic practices, mindfulness and meditative practices and parts work.
Sometimes life is painful. We all struggle and this doesn't mean you're defective. There's simply something that needs attention and care. Maybe you're overwhelmed with strong emotions, or feeling down or numbed out. Or you're experiencing painful, recurring thoughts that cause anxiety- part of you understands these thoughts aren't true, but they can really feel true. Whatever it is that you're going through, I'll listen with warmth and compassion as we work together to help you process difficult emotions, grief or traumas so that you can experience more joy, self-compassion, and presence in your life.

As an art therapist who utilizes internal family systems and somatic approaches, sessions will go beyond talking about whatever you are facing and will involve using art as a way to express your experiences not only verbally, but physically and visually.
I am passionate about working with folx who are wanting to heal their relationship with food and their body. One of many tools I use is art in the therapy space. Whether you consider yourself an artist or just enjoy making, we will work together to address your concerns surrounding your eating and whatever else may come with that. I will sit beside you in the grief and pain that comes with this healing journey and we will work together to navigate these challenges. However, I also find the power in humor and joy as a way to work towards healing.

Experienced and insightful, I help clients find their way back to themselves and their relationships by increasing curiosity, compassion, and insight through the ability to self-reflect. Employing mindfulness, emotionally-focused and body-awareness therapies along with traditional talk therapy, I share ways to recognize ineffective patterns, increase somatic and emotional intelligence, understand and develop new coping skills, and enhance empathy and positivity.

Loss, grief, life transitions - these are part of everyone's life. We need support, and need to feel safe in order to explore our emotional, somatic, cognitive, and spiritual responses to change. We may use the Enneagram, explore mindful awareness, images and dreams, body sensations, and parts of our personality: the inner critic, the scared child, the seeker. For some, climate change is also a source of grief and anxiety. I offer sand play as a rich resource for in-person clients. Our focus is on healing and growth, more peace of mind, expanded self-awareness, and a deeper sense of meaning.

I see therapy as an opportunity to work toward growth, self-discovery, and healing. I believe that people come to me not only with where they may be stuck or hurting, but also with incredible strengths and abilities. Through warmth, collaboration, and direct communication I hope to help uncover patterns that are getting in the way of living well. I use an experiential, emotion + body focused approach along with art therapy and practical tools to develop new ways of experiencing and approaching the hard stuff in life.

For trauma processing, I also offer EMDR, Internal Family Systems and somatic work.
I am available to help you heal, navigate relationships and transitions, and discover why you may face the same challenges again and again. If you feel trapped, uneasy or stalled in making decisions, I can help. The stresses of life squeeze our ability to think clearly and feel at the same time. As a result, our emotions rule us, resulting in depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship difficulties. I use evidence based practices, such as ACT and DBT to help clients regulate their emotions and reach their goals.

I use yoga, cognitive approaches, creative expression, somatic techniques, & mindfulness to support healing & growth.
Trauma & abuse can cause us to feel isolated, out-of-control, and lost in our own lives. The resultant suffering & mental illnesses significantly disrupt our relationships, life satisfaction, and sense of self. These painful experiences can cause a disconnect between the four aspects of our being – mind, body, emotion, and spirit. Therapy offers a space in which you can understand this disconnection, re-story your experience, reintegrate these parts of yourself, and heal. In our work together, we will honor your experiences and help you find what you need to live a more authentic, empowered, and enriching life.
