Somatic Therapy (Body Centered)

Sure! Here’s a version under 500 characters: --- I offer somatic therapy to support healing from body dysmorphia, diet culture, and trauma. Using evidence-based methods, including therapeutic yoga and somatic awareness, we work together to increase body awareness, understand your body’s signals, and gently unlearn patterns rooted in fear, pain, and anxiety.

Attachment Theory

I believe that to heal we must feel, and that can be very scary to do alone or with a stranger. If you struggle with insecurity within yourself and relationships, connecting and building a trusting relationship with a therapist will take time. I utilize attachment and bonding interventions to holistically develop a trusted relationship between myself and the client to create a secure attachment.

Mindfulness-based

For creatives and highly sensitive people navigating trauma, life transitions, or a deep sense of misalignment, I offer somatic therapy rooted in mindfulness and body awareness. Through stress-reducing practices, present-moment connection, and compassionate care, we gently support your healing and growth.

Humanistic 

If it's a relationship issue, depression or anxiety, grief, or another of life’s many challenges, we all face times in our life where we feel overwhelmed and underneath the heaviness of life. Empathetic guidance and support can help us achieve our goals. I work with clients in an authentic and transparent manner, always applying my natural gifts of intuition, compassion and empathy.

Depression

Having experienced depression since I was a teenager, I understand its challenges of shame, heaviness and isolation. Together, we will focus on developing self compassion and resilience, utilizing self awareness and mindfulness to better understand and explore limiting beliefs to decrease your experience of depression and self criticism. Depression is often a sign of anger turned inward. What are you holding in, holding back, needing to speak and process?

Anxiety

These are difficult, anxiety provoking times and we can all benefit from stress reduction, self compassion and self care. My approach to decreasing anxiety utilizes practical, everyday techniques to reduce the challenges of living with anxiety, panic and fears of the unknown and uncertain future. We will explore the upside of anxiety and decipher what it is saying to you.

Body Image Issues

Growing up in “diet-Culture” can leave us feeling less than loving towards our bodies. I understand. Whether it is disordered eating behaviors, body dysmorphia or shame about yourself, I can offer support. Utilizing therapeutic interventions, increased mind and body awareness and self compassion, we can become allies of our bodies and selves and heal the hatred and shame of being imperfect.

Personal Growth

Are you curious about yourself, your patterns, and your relationships? Are you struggling with a mental health issue or addiction that you might need some support in addressing? All humans are faced with problems and challenges in their lives and therapeutic connection and support is helpful for the life you desire.

Loss or Grief

In life, we will experience some form of loss, whether the passing of a loved one, the end of a relationship or friendship, or the loss of hopes and dreams. I believe that an empathic, resilient, strengths-based approach will eventually result in your ability to discover your silver lining and deeper insight into yourself. Through therapeutic healing, you will develop inner wisdom unique to yourself. I'm also very empathetic of pet loss and grief.
