About My Clients
My clients are mostly women or non-binary folks in their 20s and 30s. I work really well with creative types-- as a fellow creative, so much can unfold working with symbolic representations of our inner experiences.
My Background and Approach
I am a somatic trained therapist. Put simply, somatic therapy is therapy that includes the body. It may look pretty similar to traditional talk therapy, if you’ve ever been to a therapist before. You talk about whatever it is you want to work on, whether that is talking about a past trauma, a strained relationship with your family, relationship struggles, work stress, whatever it may be. As your therapist, I will ask questions to help you think deeper about the issue you bring in. The part where it “gets somatic” is when I ask if you notice any sensations in your body as you talk about certain things. I like to slow down the session here for you to feel any emotions, if any, that come up. One of my favorite tools for somatic resourcing is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a highly successful tool that has been proven to reduce physical symptoms of chronic stress. It serves a dual role of helping increase awareness of your body’s experience, and at the same time inviting relaxation.
