With compassion and understanding, I offer integrative trauma-focused psychotherapy and somatic therapy services for adults.
GROW THROUGH WHAT YOU GO THROUGH.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, or “talk therapy,” approaches health & healing via the cortical brain systems (language, conscious thought, explicit memory). Psychotherapy focuses on how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors (“top‐down” approach) and relies on insight and behavior change.
Somatic therapy
Somatic therapy, or body-centered therapy, utilizes the subcortical brain systems (body sensations, unconscious processes, implicit memory) to support safety and re-regulation of the nervous system. Somatic therapy focuses on how the body influences thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (“bottom-up” approach) and relies on body awareness and physiological regulation.
INTeGRATIVE SERVICES
My approach is integrative, meaning that it combines methods and ideas from different schools of thought. I offer different service structures to meet different needs, and incorporate both “top-down” and “bottom-up” approaches. My primary therapeutic method is EMDR.
Areas of focus include: Personal & Relational Growth; Depression & Anxiety; Addiction & Recovery; & Stress & Trauma.
