Return to yourself,

slowly & gently

Somatic Psychotherapy in Richmond, Virginia

Maybe you feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, caught in relationship patterns, or like your body is carrying more stress than you know how to put into words. Somatic psychotherapy offers a way to slow down, listen to what's happening beneath the surface, and develop a different relationship with yourself, your body, and your experiences.

I specialize in trauma and somatic psychotherapy, helping adults understand the ways their experiences live on in their bodies, relationships, emotions, and nervous systems.

My hope is to offer a space where you can feel deeply seen, gently supported, and increasingly at home with yourself.

Do you understand your patterns intellectually, but still feel stuck in them?

Frequently asked questions

  • I work with adults (18+) dealing with a wide variety of presenting concerns. I currently do not work with couples or families.

  • I am only in-network with commercial Anthem plans at this time. Self-pay and out-of-network clients are welcome; I can provide a superbill if you wish to use out-of-network benefits.

  • My standard rate for a 60-minute psychotherapy session is $170, but what you pay may be different if you use health insurance. Please see my services page for more details.

  • “Somatic” refers to the body—it comes from the Greek word soma, meaning of or relating to the body. Many traditional talk therapies focus primarily on thoughts and emotions, but often overlook how much our bodies hold. I support clients in reconnecting with their physical experience to build deeper self-awareness, regulate stress, and work through trauma more fully.

  • I’m an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. My practice is inclusive for everyone, and I welcome you just as you are.
