Your sensations, emotions and intuition are sacred guides.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I blend traditional talk therapy with somatic practices, paying attention to not only what the mind has to say, but diving into how the body communicates as well. Somatic therapy is a holistic approach to psychotherapy that focuses on the mind-body connection. It recognizes that trauma, stress, and other emotional issues can manifest in the body as physical symptoms. We focus on techniques that help you feel secure, resilient and relaxed, as we work through places that feel stuck.

When we approach our thoughts and body with intentional curiosity, we can break free from the cycle of automatic reactions that keep us from living the life we desire. And in order to create real and steady change, we have to address underlying issues, in addition to offering immediate, manageable steps towards feeling more empowered and capable. Somatic therapy provides ways to integrate present moment trauma release, attachment re-patterning, movement, inner child work, grounding exercises, reprocessing, and focuses on creating new neural pathways of safety and connection.
