Somatic Therapists in Washington
I am also trained in somatic psychotherapy.
During our lives, we encounter experiences that can move us away from a direct connection to ourselves. Influences from family, friends, peers, jobs, and the greater culture can affect how we view and express ourselves. We can become conditioned to thinking, feeling and behaving in a way that is incompatible with who we really are and what we want in our lives. This compromises our ability to value our unique identity and to express and apply ourselves, and our strengths. I will help you to identify, understand and remove barriers that are keeping you from realizing your fullest potential. I offer Telehealth only in California.

I am currently enrolled in the IFS Level Two training and also draw from CBT, DBT and Somatic Therapy.
Everyone carries emotions, memories, and sensations from difficult experiences, and consequently there are parts of you (i.e. behaviors, thought patterns, etc) that work very hard to help keep you safe. I welcome every part of you. Together we will hold space for your pain without rushing to distract, avoid or escape from it and my goal is to help you access the active healing presence inside. Please know, I personally understand that being a person of color poses many challenges in this country and seeking help from clinicians who don't look like you or talk like you makes it far more difficult. I see you and I'm here for you.

I use community-based experience and evidence-based practices derived from cognitive behavioral therapy, parent coaching, somatic and trauma informed therapy.
As a bilingual and bicultural Spanish speaking therapist I have a passion to work with Latinx community. I believe it is very important to understand a client's background, and belief system from a cultural and social perspective. I have experience supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, life transitions and parenting challenges. I work with adults, children and their parents/caregivers. People need a space where they can feel listened and safe to tell stories of pain and trauma. But also, a place where someone believes in them and can be an ally in their path to find their authentic self.

I employ a multi-framework approach, emphasizing neurobiology, cognitive structuring, and somatic experiencing.
Anand, coined in Eastern Philosophies, embodies human happiness or bliss. Our past experiences can act as barriers to this experience. In therapy, a journey of self-discovery, we co-create a space to unwind your narrative and find healing. I invite you to explore a heightened self-awareness to guide your everyday expierencing. As a guide, I assist with individuals facing grief and loss, anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, bipoc/immigrant issues, and trauma/attachment concerns. Together, let’s seek out to discover your definition of Anand—an essence of contentment.

The moment we start to think "who am I," "why am I like this," or "is this the true version of who I am" are moments I consider to be breakthroughs. Moments of self-reflection can be difficult to understand, difficult to seek answers, and just the thought seems bizarre or confusing. At times it may not even be self-reflection. Instead, it is the feeling of guilt, shame, worthlessness, or insecurities. It can also show up as anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, somatic symptoms, interpersonal challenges, or strain in quality of life. This is the result of exposure to or experiences of neglect and abuse during our lifetime.

My orientation is somatic psychotherapy, depth psychology, attachment and mindfulness.
I specialize in facilitating the transformation of complex and developmental trauma through honing and honoring intuition and connection with body, mind and spirit. The way back from emotional overwhelm occurs through reconnecting to our vital self, community and awakening or deepening our connection with the more than human world. Together we will work to identify the root causes of maladapative behaviors and beliefs, while learning to regulate the nervous system and rewire the brain for maximum vitality and coherence. I work with clients who are seeking to deepen their connection to spirit.

I integrate a variety of mind and body-based ( somatic) therapeutic approaches.
You may be ready to make a change, yet are unsure of which way to move or feel too frozen to take a step. Perhaps it is overwhelming to inhabit your body or revisit the past, you fear that you’ll be flooded by sensations or memories. Maybe a part of you wants to connect with others and another part worries that you'll just be hurt again. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I believe that you have the innate capacity for healing within you. Therapy is a way to cultivate the right conditions for healing seeds to bloom. I aim to create a warm and accepting space - one that can foster insight, growth, belonging, and even joy.

We will use gentle somatic approaches that allow us to get beneath the words in order to focus on actions and felt experiences that lead to transformative healing work.
I help survivors of trauma and difficult childhoods cultivate a calm, congruent life. Survivors may feel emotions that seem out of place in the present moment, experiencing anxiety, depression or shame, have unusual medical issues, or perhaps trouble remembering past events. Difficulty in relationships, low self-esteem, attention issues, and problems trusting are common. If this sounds like your experience, please know it is possible to both release and integrate your past for a more fulfilled present.

My practice is based in mindfulness, somatic practices, and anti-oppression to address unprocessed trauma, attachment wounds and old narratives.
Perhaps you feel alienated, empty, or disconnected. Maybe you struggle to trust yourself and others. It might be difficult to hold your boundaries and advocate for yourself. Unaddressed pains can show up as anxiety, depression, trauma, harmful relationships, self-criticism, and addictions - also manifesting on physical and spiritual levels. You might feel stuck and overwhelmed on how to move forward. Therapy is a place where you can build a deeper understanding of yourself, what you’re experiencing, where that comes from, and what that means to you. It takes a lot of courage to (re)connect with yourself and share your story.

I take a somatic based holistic approach to therapy, which means I believe our minds, bodies, and emotions are interconnected-when one aspect of our life is affected, all other areas are impacted as well.
I think there is no greater pain in life than bearing an untold story or feeling like you have to go it alone and do your work completely by yourself. As your therapist, I view my role as a fellow travel companion and a guide to help you navigate the terrain of your life. I seek to create a safe space for you to explore your story, create detours where there are obstacles, and create a path to a better future. I enjoy working with folks who not only want to find relief from their problems, but also seek to shift the paradigm of how they see themselves in relation to others and the world.

My goal as a therapist is to create a nurturing environment that empowers and supports you in navigating life's complexities. At the heart of my approach is a commitment to honoring your unique needs, learning about and integrating your strengths into sessions, and working to understand you within the multifaceted arena of your life. A core component of my approach is my training and experience in somatic and body-based therapeutic modalities. Somatic therapy helps bring our mind and body into balance by reconnecting us to the wisdom of our bodies.

While you, the client, lead with present issues, concerns, and goals, our work will connect the dots with past experiences, forgotten or left behind parts, symbols from dreams, sandtray work, somatic expressions, and the unfolding events of your life.
You may be experiencing a great loss, or even many losses from the pandemic, or feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve your growth. You may be experiencing pain or conflict in relationships, anxiety at work, stress from trying to “balance it all”, or residual pain from the past. There may be a sense of increased collective grief and eco-anxiety. The discomfort brings us back into conversation with ourselves- all the parts. From here we begin the process of healing and meaning making, to come to inhabit your life in a more embodied, present, and clear way.
