I’m a somatic psychotherapist with extensive experience in community mental health and creative expression. My work focuses on helping teens and adults heal from trauma and emotional disconnection by using body-centered and relational approaches. I guide clients in exploring the connection between their physical sensations and emotional experiences. My goal is to empower individuals to feel more grounded, clear, and authentically connected to themselves, fostering lasting healing and resilience.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our sessions, you can expect a warm, supportive space where you’re met with compassion, curiosity, and zero judgment. We’ll explore how your experiences live in both your body and your story, and work together toward more ease, clarity, and connection. I bring my somatic training, relational focus, and a bit of humor when it fits—creating a space where you feel truly seen and supported.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I’m known for creating a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel deeply seen and supported. With over 20 years in mental health and a background in somatics and dance, I bring an intuitive, body-centered approach to healing. Clients often describe me as someone who helps them overcome feelings of shame and self-doubt with compassion, humor, and care. I’m deeply committed to supporting each person’s growth into their most empowered, authentic self.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
If you're someone who feels things deeply in your body—whether it's chronic tension, unexplained pain, or a sense that something’s just off—you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve tried to talk your way through things but still feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected. I work best with people who are curious about the connection between their emotional experiences and physical sensations, even if they don’t quite have the words for it yet. Like you, I know what it’s like to carry stress and emotion in the body, and I bring that understanding into a therapeutic space where you can begin to feel more whole, present, and empowered.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Somatic
In a somatic therapy session, I guide the client to tune into physical sensations in their body to increase awareness of how emotions are stored and expressed somatically. We use grounding and mindfulness techniques to help regulate the nervous system and build a sense of safety. When difficult emotions or memories arise, I support the client in noticing their body's responses without judgment, allowing for gradual release and integration. Throughout the session, I encourage a curious, compassionate connection to the body to foster healing and resilience.
Attachment-based
In sessions with my therapy clients, I will use attachment theory to help them explore how early relationships have shaped their current patterns of relating to others. By identifying their attachment style—secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—I can support clients in understanding emotional responses and interpersonal challenges. This framework will guide interventions aimed at fostering secure attachment behaviors, enhancing self-awareness, and building healthier, more fulfilling relationships both within and outside of therapy.
Humanistic
Using a humanistic approach, I will create a non-judgmental and empathic space that supports clients in accessing their inner strengths and authentic self. I will emphasize unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness to help clients explore their feelings, values, and goals. This person-centered approach empowers clients to move toward self-actualization and personal fulfillment.
