Somatic trauma therapy and complex PTSD treatment
Somatic trauma therapy helps your body process what it still carries, at a pace your nervous system can actually use. It is designed for both single event trauma and complex PTSD from years of chronic stress or difficult relationships.
Trauma is not only what happened to you. It is what your body still carries. Maybe it was one shattering event. Maybe it was years of small ones: a childhood where you had to be the adult, relationships that taught you love comes with conditions, a long stretch of survival that never let you exhale.
Complex trauma often looks like being fine on the outside while your inner world runs on high alert. Overthinking every interaction. Struggling to trust rest. Feeling responsible for everyone's emotions. Going numb when things get too big.
In our work, we move at the pace your nervous system can actually use. We build safety and steadiness first. Then, gently, we help your body process what it never had the chance to, so the past can finally live in the past. Along the way you learn practical tools for grounding, boundaries, and self trust that stay with you long after therapy ends.
Grief counseling online in Florida
Grief counseling helps you carry the pain of the loss you've experienced. We work with the grief waves as they come, without timelines or pressure to move on.
Grief does not follow stages or timelines. It shows up in the body: exhaustion, a heavy chest, a throat that tightens at the worst moments, a fog that will not lift. And it comes with every loss, not only death. The end of a relationship. The family you needed and did not get. The future you had planned that is not coming.
I will not rush you toward silver linings. Grief needs a witness before it needs a plan. Together we make room for the waves, tend to what your body is holding, and slowly help you carry your love and your loss in a way that lets you live again.
Therapy for life transitions and identity change
Life transitions therapy supports you through endings and beginnings: divorce, career change, relocation, new motherhood, or outgrowing a version of yourself. We use the threshold as a place to rebuild self trust.
Some seasons ask everything of us. Leaving a marriage or a long relationship. Walking away from a career that looks good on paper and feels like a slow disappearing. Becoming a mother, losing a role, moving, starting over. Even change you chose can shake your sense of who you are.
This is threshold work. We use it to listen closely to your desires, honor what you are leaving behind, and build the self trust to walk toward what is calling you. This is where many clients finally stop living someone else's story and start writing their own.
Healing is when you learn to be a compassionate witness to your thoughts & emotions to become in tune to your body's natural wisdom.

Questions you might be holding
Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail?
No. Somatic work does not require retelling every painful story. Your body can process experiences without you narrating them scene by scene. You are always in charge of what we touch and when.
What if I've tried therapy before and it didn't help?
Many of my clients arrive having done years of talk therapy. Insight matters, and it is often not enough on its own. Body based work reaches the survival responses that thinking cannot, which is why this can feel different from what you have tried.
Is online therapy as effective as in person?
For this work, yes, and for many women it is better. You are in your own space, with your own blanket and your own tea, which is often exactly where the nervous system feels safest to open.
How much does somatic therapy cost in Florida?
My sessions are $150 for 50 minutes, private pay, online anywhere in Florida. Superbills are available for possible out of network reimbursement, and every new client starts with a free 15 minute consultation.
What does "Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern" mean?
It means I have completed my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling and am completing Florida's required supervised experience for full licensure. I practice under the supervision of a licensed clinician who supports our work behind the scenes.
