Somatic Experiencing therapy (SE) is a body focused trauma therapy created by Dr. Peter Levine. Many of the trauma-based therapies fail to connect the mind to the body to re-negotiate trauma memories. The body and mind are inevitably connected. Somatic Experiencing is an approach to treating individuals affected by trauma. It is a very gentle and powerful therapeutic intervention for persons of all ages affected by trauma. SE is also a very helpful intervention for individuals suffering from chronic pain and chronic health conditions.
Healing is a deeply personal journey, and I believe every person carries the innate capacity to heal. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and certified Somatic
Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I provide trauma informed, body centered therapy that helps individuals reconnect with their inner resilience, restore balance, and move
forward with greater clarity and confidence.
My own experience with chronic pain and illness led me to specialize in mind/body approaches, particularly Somatic Experiencing (SE). SE, developed by Dr. Peter
Levine, is a gentle yet powerful trauma therapy that supports the nervous system in releasing stored stress and renegotiating trauma. It is highly effective for PTSD,
complex trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, and chronic health conditions.

In addition to SE, I am trained in iRest Yoga Nidra, a research-based meditation practice developed by Dr. Richard Miller. iRest helps reduce symptoms of PTSD,
anxiety, chronic pain, and stress, offering deep relaxation and a grounded sense of inner safety.

I work with adults and couples, using an integrative approach that blends somatic therapy, mindfulness, and evidence-based practices. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with:
Depression and anxiety
PTSD and complex PTSD
Developmental, childhood, and relational trauma
Chronic pain and chronic illness
Stress, overwhelm, and life transitions
Whether you’re navigating trauma, feeling disconnected from yourself, or simply longing for more peace and stability, you don’t have to walk this path alone. I would be honored to support you as you reconnect with your body’s wisdom, reclaim your strength, and rediscover a sense of wholeness.

TraumaInformed Psychotherapy
I offer a compassionate, collaborative space for individuals working through:

Mind-body Therapy for Chronic Pain & Illness
Chronic pain and long-term health conditions can leave you feeling disconnected,
discouraged, or misunderstood. Using somatic therapy, mindfulness, and nervous
system regulation, we work to reduce pain related stress, increase body trust, and
support your overall wellbeing.
Couples Therapy
I support couples in strengthening communication, deepening emotional connection,
and healing relational wounds. Sessions focus on safety, attunement, and
understanding the nervous system patterns that shape how partners relate to one
another.
A Collaborative, Compassionate Approach
My work is grounded in the belief that healing is already within you. Therapy becomes a
space where you can reconnect with your inner strength, explore new possibilities, and
move toward a life that feels more aligned, peaceful, and whole.
