Somatic Mental Health Counseling

Self exploration with a therapist is like looking at a map; together we will talk about where you have been, where you are now, and then work together to figure out the best path to get you where you want to be. Your body and mind are the compass guiding us to health and healing. When we carefully hold our past experiences with compassion and curiosity, the painful parts of our history can lead to the most rewarding experiences in our future. Participating in therapy is an admirable and transformative experience. The rewards of this work can be a deep understanding of ourselves and our loved ones that can lead to compassion, empathy, empowerment, and life satisfaction.

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing is a therapeutic approach that believes our body’s have the wisdom needed to help us heal from trauma. The key is learning how to listen to our sensations, emotions, memories, and imaginings to make meaning out of the information the body provides. We learn to use our somatic compass, so we can always orient ourselves in whatever situation we are in. When we can master this skill, our ability to increase our choices and make decisions for the wellbeing of our future selves becomes transformative.

What I Specialize in...

Complex Trauma
- Explore how repeated difficulties or strained relationships early in life impact our current experience and how to make changes.
Intergenerational Trauma
- Explore how holding narratives, beliefs, and behaviors that are from past generations may be impacting your current choices and how you can decide to change.
Life Transitions
- Transformation is hard and often painful. I can walk with you through a life changing time with compassion and support.
Grief and Loss
- Grief is a deeply challenging emotion to process. We experience loss in many ways throughout our life and therapy is an ideal place to contain and move through many of these feelings.
LGBTQIA Community
- As a queer person with my own family, I always love working with members of my community to find belonging in a world that is not always built for us.
Working with Artists and Creatives
- Throughout my life the arts have been a safe haven to explore my own emotions and identity. I love working with artists, writers, performers of all kinds who navigate the complexities of being creators.
