Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
This is a somatic (body-based) talk therapy that aims to heal painful symptoms of traumatic events. We will become curious about exploring what your body is telling you through imagery, movements and postures, thought patterns, and sensations. You will build resources to support yourself during times of distress, heal attachment wounding and traumatic memory, and rewrite limiting beliefs to ones that are empowered. Our work aims to help your mind, body, and spirit feel more regulated so you can find greater fulfillment and connection in life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT is an action-oriented approach that is based on working toward the life you want through becoming clear on your values, committed action, and mindfulness. Rather than argue with your thoughts, we instead look at whether your thoughts and actions are bringing you closer or farther from your values and goals. In this way, there is no need to prove if your thoughts and feelings are valid. We will help you find ways to change how you react to your daily experience and become more flexible.
Parts Work
Parts work is a type of therapy that is great for individuals who feel in conflict with themselves. Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, it’s wrong? Maybe you say ‘yes’ when you really want to say ‘no’, but saying ‘no’ creates too much anxiety. Sometimes we push parts of ourselves away as a way to cope with shame or to try to create change. Parts work can help you make sense of inner conflict and befriend parts of yourself that you don’t quite get along with, with the aim of feeling wholeness and peace. My parts work is influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Schema Therapy, and Carl Jung.
Intuitive Eating
Intuitive Eating is an approach that helps you rebuild trust with your body and your relationship to food. Rather than following external rules or diets, we turn inward—listening to your body’s cues around hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and emotion. Together, we’ll explore the ways you may have learned to disconnect from your body’s wisdom, and begin to gently reestablish that connection with curiosity and care.
This work helps you notice what comes up around food and body image—especially patterns shaped by diet culture, trauma, or shame. You’ll learn to tell the difference between emotional and physical hunger, meet cravings with less judgment, and make more space for true nourishment. For many, this is a process of unlearning: letting go of the pressure to control or “fix” the body, and instead practicing attunement, permission, and self-compassion. This is not a weight-focused or rule-based approach. There is no “right” way to eat—only what feels supportive, grounding, and true for you.
FAQs

Our work together will be shaped by many factors—such as what has or hasn’t worked for you in past therapy, how trauma is currently impacting your life, and your personal preferences.
If having a supportive space to share your experiences feels helpful, I’m here to listen and walk alongside you while we build internal resources together. If talking alone doesn’t feel effective, we can focus more on experiential approaches to gently process traumatic memory.
This might include exploring your values when facing important decisions, engaging in parts work to give voice to younger aspects of yourself, or learning practical skills to manage symptoms.
Throughout our work, I’ll regularly check in with you to see how therapy is feeling and make adjustments as needed—honoring your pace, your needs, and your voice.

Somatic therapy looks different for each person. For some, it may involve more body-based or experiential practices. For others, it can be as simple as gently noticing the physical sensations that accompany emotions while we talk things through.

Definitely not. I have worked with clients who've ranged from experienced yogis to those intimidated by the word 'meditation.' We will incorporate mindfulness and body-based exercises at your own pace.

Working with a trauma-competent therapist means your experiences are viewed through a compassionate, non-pathologizing lens. Symptoms like anxiety, depression, or panic are understood as signals of a dysregulated nervous system—not personal flaws. Together, we explore ways to soothe and support your system. Even behaviors that may feel unhelpful, such as disordered eating, are seen as adaptive responses—survival strategies that once made sense, even if they no longer serve you now.
As a relational therapist, I recognize that vulnerability doesn’t always come easily. You may not have immediate access to your true feelings—especially in the presence of another person or without time to process. As a trauma-competent therapist, I don’t expect you to always know or express exactly what you need. Instead, I intentionally slow down, pause, and check in to help create the space and safety needed for what’s true to emerge.

For many people, virtual therapy is even better than in person! Even somatic therapy can be done online. Read more about this on my Somatic Telehealth page.
