Trudy is an integrative somatic psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through deep healing and transformation. With a background as an addictions specialist and extensive training in bodywork, she brings a holistic approach to mental health care—honoring the profound connection between the mind, body, and spirit.

Trudy integrates evidence-based treatments such as EMDR, DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and ketamine-assisted therapy with relational and somatic modalities. Her therapeutic work is grounded in motivational interviewing, harm reduction, and crisis intervention, offering clients both depth and structure in the healing process.

She specializes in helping individuals navigate complex trauma—whether stemming from developmental experiences, acute events, or chronic relational wounds—as well as challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance misuse, eating disorders, co-dependency, and family dysfunction. Trudy understands how these patterns can serve as survival strategies and works with clients to shift toward more adaptive ways of coping and relating.

As a somatically trained therapist and former bodyworker, Trudy attunes to the wisdom of the body, using it as a guide in the therapeutic process. She creates a supportive environment where clients can access insight, build skills, and reconnect with their sense of aliveness.

Trudy believes in the power of combining practical tools with compassionate presence. She offers structured exercises, therapeutic homework, and mindfulness practices to help clients build momentum between sessions. Her goal is to empower people to become active participants in their healing journey—developing emotional resilience, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of agency.
