Somatic Psychotherapy

Therapeutic Support For:

  • It’s hard to make sense of

  • Bad things happen: a car accident, a fall, natural disasters, an experience of inescapable attack. After these experiences

    Trauma is stored in the body. Depending on your experience,

  • You know that you are in transition; You are outgrowing what has been, but do not yet know what it ahead. This feels disorienting and confusing. Perhaps you even feel stuck. It can be extremely uncomfortable to be in this liminal space and to discern your next steps.

    Somatic psychotherapy can help build your capacity to linger in the discomfort long enough to uncover the wisdom that is important to bring with you into your next chapter, and to reveal the emerging invitations into authentic expressions of your wholeness.

  • Grief undoes us. It strips us down to our core, and then invites us to rebuild ourselves in our given, or new, reality.

You are feeling overwhelmed and struggling in your daily life. You know it’s time to make changes, and you are committed to doing the work necessary for transforming your life. With a posture of curiosity and self-compassion, you are ready to go deep in understanding the root causes of your patterns. You are intrigued by the idea that your body holds wisdom that can open portals to your healing, wholeness, and integration.

I work with adults who are navigating transitions, traumatic histories, anxiety, depression, and grief. You may be new to therapy, or have hit a plateau with traditional talk therapy.

Somatic Psychotherapy sessions integrate the wholeness of who you are into your mental health treatment. Traditional talk therapy is combined with various mind-body practices to support your emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning and interventions are grounded in interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, and somatic modalities.

For those who desire a therapeutic space where their spiritual practices and beliefs are honored alongside their emotional and personal growth, I also offer spiritually integrated psychotherapy, regardless of religious affiliation or spiritual identity.

I am a deeply relational clinician that believes you are the expert in your own life, and that you have the inner wisdom, strength, and resilience to take the next steps on your journey towards wholeness. As a therapist, it is my role to listen deeply and hold your story with reverence, while offering supportive space, tools, and resources as a companion on your path.

I have a M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, WI. I have completed training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner through the Advanced 1 Level. A life-long learner, I have taken comprehensive and trauma-focused courses in Interpersonal Neurobiology with Dr. Dan Siegel and have completed additional trainings in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy, and Intergenerational Trauma. Additional learning in attachment theory, emotion focused therapy, and integral somatic psychology also influence my approach to therapy.

In-person in Milwaukee and Telehealth sessions offered for residents of Wisconsin.
