You are welcome here. You CAN feel better in your mind/body and in your relationships. Together we will create space and opportunity for curiosity, safe exploration, and resourcing.
Somatic psychotherapy taps into the wisdom of the body, uncovering a deep well of healing, understanding, compassion, and organic change. While I specialize in trauma, I welcome anyone wanting to engage in compassionate somatic inquiry as a part of their healing journey.
Symptoms are just a normal response to your lived experience. Anxiety, depression, anger, lack of focus or energy, intrusive thoughts, substance abuse or addictive behaviors, trouble with impulse control, consistency or showing up in relationships, finishing what you’ve started (or getting started!) All can be symptoms of unresolved trauma.
You may struggle to show up authentically and equally in your relationships with your partner. You may struggle as a parent with constant worry about how you are parenting and if you are enough. You may struggle to find solid ground as a family.
You can’t just talk your way out of this. Real change requires healing the whole person. The good news is you can learn to be in your body safely, learn how your thoughts feel, and grow your capacity for intense emotions and experiences. You can create positive change by learning to be present to yourself and others with kindness and compassion. You can learn to nurture your resilience and nourish your spirit. The answers and the healing are in you. You can live a life of connectedness, wholeness, and vitality. I am here to guide and support you.
I am a somatically trained, holistically oriented therapist with an integrative approach. I bring over twenty-five years of experience in holistic counseling and bioenergetics, as well as personal experience with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (CPTSD.) I am client centered and trauma informed. I’m a spouse, parent, and grandparent.
I see individuals, couples, and families with young children via telehealth.
