I help people learn to unwind their nervous system with somatic corrective bodywork, brainspotting, & vibroacoustic sound bed therapy.
We are all designed to heal when wounded, and oftentimes a safe objective place to support healing and growth is needed. Trauma of all kinds and negative life experiences can create ruptures in our stability and consistency in life. I will partner with you to find and utilize the best tools, strategies, and coping mechanisms to create the life you want and find the place of inner balance and healing. Therapy is like an emotional gym. We do therapy in order to strengthen our emotional/mental health and assess what is causing internal dis “ease”. Compassion, grace & empathy are major therapeutic tools to promote healing and growth.

I love watching people heal from their emotional wounds and I love treating trauma. Whether we have anxiety, depression, or post traumatic stress, we all experience various levels of trauma. I enjoy getting to know people on a deeper, meaningful level, and then peeling back the surface layers of what is seen and exploring the unseen to get to the root of problems. Therapy, done well, is vulnerable and sometimes frightening, but it is incredibly rewarding for my clients and me. I love to watch my clients discover new, wonderful things about themselves as they gradually see themselves in new, hopeful ways.

Struggling with chronic pain is devastating. It is exhausting and disheartening to continually look for answers and have those hopes crushed time and time again. Though it may seem too good to be true, Pain Reprocessing Therapy really can bring you relief. This works because pain is processed through warning signals sent to our brains. Pain can be extremely helpful when we’re actually in danger, but sometimes our brains get stuck in fear and learn to interpret safe sensations as dangerous. This causes our brains to send warning signals when there is no real threat.

Hi, I'm Kevin. Chances are, if you're looking for a therapist, life, or at least part of it, isn't exactly the way you want it right now. Life can be challenging, even efforts to make things better can be challenging. It's one thing to start therapy and it's another thing to make therapy work.

You are worth the investment! Some studies suggest that over 80% of all physical symptoms may have emotional or psychological roots. Sometimes anxiety and depression are just our body's way of letting us know a change is needed. If your relationships or life situations are causing you more distress than joy, therapy can help. We all experience pain, loss, and feelings of rejection. Although these feelings are normal, if neglected they can quickly become barriers to happiness and growth.

How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
