EMDR, Somatic, and
Internal Family Systems

Psychotherapy · EMDR · Somatic · Sensorimotor · Inner Child Healing

Modes of Therapy

In addition to general psychotherapy, I also offer three special therapy modalities that are specific to body healing trauma and focused on your body and mind connection. I incorporate EMDR, Somatic or Sensorimotor, and IFS in our sessions together.

Special Modalities Offered

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is especially useful for processing emotions related to trauma.

Somatic & Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

These modalities incorporate the physical body and your nervous system’s response to everyday situations into therapy.

Parts Work and Inner Child Healing

Specialized therapy tailors to healing the inner child and other inner conscious parts.

Transforming Touch®

Transforming Touch® is a regulation-focused therapy that uses safe touch to heal and repair early developmental trauma in children, adolescents, and adults. It was devised by Dr. Stephen Terrell and works with a 7-point protocol to build attachment and somatic trust in the body. Over time enhancements & the integration of primitive reflexes are incorporated. The practitioner meets the client exactly where they are with presence, regulation, and compassion, allowing them to open to the possibility of healing. It’s a relational, non-pathologizing approach that is profoundly healing at a nervous system level. It combines several disciplines including Attachment Theory, Neuroscience, Child Development Theory, Trauma, and Somatics.
