My Approach to Helping

I am a trauma-informed somatic therapist dedicated to helping individuals with trauma, anxiety, and depression.

If you are struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, your presence matters deeply here. I am a trauma-informed LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) licensed in California, Colorado, and New Mexico. I have been in practice for over a decade. Currently, I am seeing clients virtually with some in-person sessions.

Research in neuroscience shows that the combination of somatic therapy, EMDR, and breathwork have a deep capacity for healing trauma. Through cultivating somatic awareness, we can shift unhealthy patterns and past trauma. Somatic therapy utilizes the connection between the body, mind spirit and believes healing takes place within the whole self. EMDR works through bilateral stimulation of the brain and helps the brain re-organize thoughts around traumatic memories. Becoming present with our breath can help us move through trauma in our lives. Other modalities that I use in therapy are polyvagal theory, IFS, and attachment theory. All of these modalities come from a whole body perspective in healing.

We will work together to discover what is best for your process of healing. Whether this be through traditional psychotherapy approaches, body-oriented approaches, or ethno-indigenous approaches, we will create a plan specific to your healing journey. I look forward to working with you.

More Info About My Practice

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in somatic psychology. Somatic psychology is an integrative, whole-body approach to therapy that can help you gain a deeper understanding of your whole self. People often wonder how understanding the body can benefit them in therapy. It is a proven fact that trauma lives in our body memory and has been found in our DNA. In order for us to get to the roots of trauma, we have to understand what is happening within the body. When we begin to understand what is happening with the body, we can grasp moments when we are feeling triggered and respond in healthier ways
