Mud Flower Counseling- Somatic Psychotherapy
Live Embodied- Connected, Present, at Home... in Your Body
As a licensed mental health counselor, I specialize in supporting emerging and younger adults (16-40ish) of all gender identities and expressions who have experienced trauma and who struggle with intense emotions and impulse control. I strive to be an ally with individuals experiencing sexual/gender identity related struggles and exploration and am happy to support you in advocating for gender affirming care.
Essentially- I help people learn how to reconnect and repair the mind-body connection so that they can live more fully in the present and experience more control over their emotions. I come to our work together blending existential & behavioral psychology, as well as somatic practices & Yoga philosophy. I draw from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and the Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method (an Internal Family Systems (parts work), Somatic Experiencing, & EMDR informed modality) in a way that meets you on your unique journey. I also recently became certified in Brainspotting, a neuroexperiential focused mindfulness technique.
Sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy and may involve education around trauma and your nervous system, body-based techniques for grounding and emotional release/regulation, self reflection, meditation, intentional breathing practices, and physical yoga postures or intuitive movement. We’ll also work to build our therapeutic relationship while talking things out the traditional way. Right now, life might often feel chaotic and overwhelming. Let’s work together to remove the barriers in the way of you living more present, happier, and free!
