Why Somatic Therapy?

Somatics is derived from the Greek word “soma” meaning body. Somatic therapy utilizes a body-oriented, integrative approach that considers the interconnectedness of your emotional, physical, and relational systems. This method supports the regulation of your nervous system, enhances self-awareness, and facilitates the resolution of stored stress and trauma responses.

Through this holistic process, you can experience improved psychological functioning & a greater sense of overall well-being. By fostering awareness of physical sensations and emotional responses, somatic therapy helps you break free from unproductive patterns and promotes lasting change.

My Services

Therapy for Individuals & Couples

My therapeutic style is somatic and empathetic. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, incorporating & joining mind, body and soul. We’ll use a variety of modalities to help you learn about your somatic body, identify behaviors, and manage physiological sensations that overwhelm you.

I incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help heal & process the lasting impact trauma to support struggles with anxiety, depression, sex and sexuality issues. Together, we work to gently explore the roots of your emotional pain whether from past experiences, relationship patterns, or difficult life events. We’ll understand how these experiences continue to affect your present life and grow from them.

Areas of Expertise:

  • Anxiety & Depression

  • Trauma

  • Life Transitions

  • EMDR

  • Sex & Sexuality

  • LGBTQ+

Client FAQ

  • Therapy is a process, not a one time event. Consistent sessions helps you build trust with your therapist, stay connected to your goals, and work through core issues before they pile up. Consistency also strengthens the coping skills you’re learning, making change more sustainable over time.

    Even when things feel stable (or especially when they don’t) showing up gives you a steady space to grow, reflect, and stay grounded. Meaningful and lasting change happens at a deep level. I recommend we make a commitment to see each other at least once a week if possible, in addition to regular check-in’s to assess progress and goals.

About Me

My history with somatics began at age three when I started dancing. Dance and sports related injuries lead to a 27 year career in physical therapy. It’s my goal to bridge what I feel is a gap in both the medical and psychological fields.

Drawing on my life experience and 30-year background in physical therapy, I bring a deep understanding of the mind–body connection to my work as a somatic therapist. I am committed to providing a compassionate, attuned, and empowering therapeutic experience that honors both the physical and emotional aspects of healing.

I equip you with tools and strategies to cope with overwhelming sensations, enabling healthier responses to stressors. This can include mindfulness techniques, grounding exercises, and body awareness. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment. Together, we will navigate your journey.
