“Soma” is a Greek word meaning ‘body.’ It can also be translated as the ‘internal experience of the body.’

Somatic therapy is a form of body-based therapy. There are a variety of somatic modalities (such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, Sensorimotor Therapy, Polyvagal, Yoga).

Working with a somatic approach allows you to tap into your body’s wisdom and intuitive ways of communicating. It improves self-awareness, enhances interception (our ability to be aware of internal sensations and emotions), and invites integration of mind and body in the healing process.

Somatic interventions can support individuals in learning to regulate the nervous system, build resilience and discover pathways to living an embodied and present life.

All sessions are held virtually.. We use a HIPAA compliant, secure platform {Zoom} that enables us to share space in the comfort of your home.

Psychotherapy often supports those dealing with challenge, trauma, pain or loss. Psychotherapy is licensed and regulated mental health service provided by mental health professionals who have completed graduate training programs in counseling psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, and/or clinical psychology. Due to professional licensing requirements, therapists can only provide individual, relationship and group therapy services to clients located in the state/s in which they are licensed.

Ultimately, the frequency of our sessions is entirely up to you. Each individual arrives in this space with different needs & I encourage you to consider what will be of most support for you in this moment of life.

That said, I understand it can be helpful to have a reference point. Many folks embarking on a therapeutic journey opt to meet weekly for 50 minute sessions. For those who prefer this cadence, we designate a day of the week and time to meet that is consistent. For folks who need flexibility in their schedule, this can be arranged.

If a longer session interests you, 75-minute sessions are available at an adjusted rate and we can discuss as desired. If you are seeking therapy more than once a week, we can discuss the best way to support you in a consultation. Some folks say with this frequency for the remainder of our work together, while others may eventually shift to every other week.

The duration of therapy is determined by each individual's unique challenges and personal goals. For some, goals can be met within a couple of months, for others it may take years. Deeper work often requires a slower process to dive wholly into the root of one’s challenge and invite proper integration. Typically it takes a couple sessions to better gauge how long the course of our time together shall be.

I do not take insurance directly, however many insurance plans offer reimbursement of a certain percentage of the service fee. Check with your insurance provider to see what coverage you are eligible for.

Payment is due at the beginning of the session. I accept Zelle, Venmo, Paypal and credit cards. Payment is due for any missed sessions or cancellations with less than 24 hours notice.

Some clients like to pay for their upcoming month of therapy at the beginning. If this is something you’d like to set up, just let me know and I can arrange it.

There is a 24-hour notice policy. For clients who need to cancel or reschedule a session, please let me know at least 24 hours before our appointment. Clients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their session, will be charged the full fee for the missed appointment.

The decision is always yours. From the moment we begin to meet, I hold the end in sight, as my purpose is to help you tap into your resources, skills and personal agency beyond our therapeutic space. When you feel it is time to end, we typically will have a closing or ‘termination’ session as a way of assimilating and integrating the work we have done together. My door is always open for you to reach back out.
