Body-Centered

Somatic Therapy

SPECIALIZED TREATMENT

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-centered approach that recognizes trauma is stored not just in our minds, but in our nervous systems. This gentle, powerful therapy helps release trapped trauma and restore your body's natural capacity for healing.

Release Stored Trauma

Work with your body's natural wisdom to gently release traumatic stress held in your nervous system, without having to relive the experience.

Regulate Your Nervous System

Learn to recognize and shift out of fight, flight, or freeze responses, building resilience and returning to a state of safety and calm.

Mind-Body Connection

Develop deeper awareness of body sensations and learn to use this connection as a powerful resource for healing and self-regulation.

How It Works

SE therapy focuses on tracking body sensations and building your capacity to tolerate and process difficult emotions. Through gentle guidance, you'll learn to complete survival responses that may have become "stuck," allowing your nervous system to return to balance and restore your sense of well-being.

Evidence-Based

EMDR Therapy

SPECIALIZED TREATMENT

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based psychotherapy approach that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences.

Trauma & PTSD Relief

Process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge, helping you move forward from painful experiences.

Anxiety & Panic Disorders

Reduce anxiety symptoms and break the cycle of panic attacks through targeted memory reprocessing.

Lasting Healing

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR often produces faster results by helping your brain naturally process and integrate difficult experiences.

What to Expect

During EMDR sessions, we'll work together to identify target memories and use bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements) to help your brain reprocess traumatic experiences. Many clients report significant relief in fewer sessions than traditional therapy approaches.

SPECIALIZED TREATMENT

DBT Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that teaches powerful skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Emotional Regulation

Learn to understand and manage intense emotions without being overwhelmed, perfect for highly sensitive individuals.

Distress Tolerance

Develop healthy coping strategies to get through difficult situations without making things worse.

Interpersonal Effectiveness

Build skills to communicate your needs, set boundaries, and maintain healthy relationships while preserving self-respect.

Mindfulness

Practice being present in the moment, reducing anxiety about the future and regrets about the past.

Who Benefits from DBT?

DBT is particularly effective for highly sensitive individuals, those experiencing emotional dysregulation, self-harm behaviors, suicidal ideation, relationship conflicts, and anyone looking to develop stronger coping skills and emotional resilience.

A Personal Approach

Healing Happens in Connection

I believe that therapy is most effective when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. It's not just about learning techniques or coping strategies—though those are valuable. It's about creating a space where you can be completely yourself, without judgment or pretense.

In our work together, we'll move at your pace. There's no rush, no pressure to "fix" anything immediately. Healing is not linear, and I'm here to walk alongside you through every step—the breakthroughs and the setbacks, the clarity and the confusion.

"You deserve a therapist who believes in your capacity to heal, who honors your story, and who meets you exactly where you are."

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, navigating past trauma, or simply feeling stuck, know that change is possible. I'm here to help you rediscover your resilience and remember your inherent worth.
