You can thrive, feel more freedom and peace, and you don't have to do it alone. Relationship challenges, confusing emotions, and transitions can leave us feeling shaky. Somatic (body-centered) therapy can help you understand yourself while healing past hurts. Every relationship you have had with others and society influences your well-being. I can help you navigate relationships with self, loved ones, and the wider world with confidence and ease. You possess tremendous inner strength, courage, and determination. If you are willing to work, you can have the change you desire. You deserve to be your best self.
Somatic psychotherapy moves us beyond talk and into our lived experience. I work relationally with a trauma-informed lens, incorporating parts work, mindfulness practices, and an anti-patriarchy/social-justice orientation. I offer practical tools and practices to help you create lasting peace and a life worth living.
I work well with those who feel stuck or overwhelmed, and I especially enjoy working with people who want to live outside the box. My clients often occupy intersections of culture, race or sexual preference. I see creativity, connection, and multiculturalism at the heart of the work.

I use mindfulness in my practice, and am interested in your whole experience: emotional, somatic, thoughts, and meaning. After exploring what you want from therapy, we may use techniques such as EMDR, Brainspotting, touch and/or visualization techniques to help clear past experiences from the body. We may utilize IFS to help create internal peace. How your life is going indicates our success.
