Sometimes you need something beyond traditional therapy.
Maybe you've tried it all—podcasts, self-help books, Instagram hacks—but nothing seems to stick. The therapy you've done before might have scratched the surface, but there's still that nagging feeling that something is "off" or not quite right. Your relationships are still struggling. Boundaries feel non-existent. You’re tired, frustrated, and ready for something different.
-
“I understand why I react this way, but I can’t stop it.” — You get your triggers, but when the moment arrives, it feels like everything you’ve learned just goes out the window.
-
“I’ve done so much therapy and self-work, yet I keep falling into the same patterns. Why is change so hard?” — It’s frustrating when, no matter how much you try, you feel stuck in a cycle that never shifts.
-
“Once I finish this thing, I’ll finally get to relax.” — But that moment never comes. There’s always “one more thing” demanding your attention. And though you take pride in helping others, it’s disheartening when it’s never acknowledged.
Sometimes it feels like you’re never going to get the chance to relax, because there’s always something else to be done or another person you need to help. I’m here to tell you this: you don’t have to keep putting off taking care of yourself.
What is somatic therapy?
Emotions and past experiences can become "stuck" in our bodies, often showing up as things like tension, tightness, or discomfort. In somatic therapy, we connect the mind with the body, learning to listen to these physical sensations to better understand and release emotional blockages. Instead of only talking through issues, we explore how your body feels and what it's trying to communicate. This approach helps you tune into your nervous system, calm your reactions, and develop healthier ways to handle stress, anxiety, and emotions.
How It Works
Bridge the gap between mind & body.
We’ll start this work by getting an understanding of where you’ve been and where you are now: the inner work you’ve already done, the past insight you’ve gained, and the triggers that continue coming up. Once we’ve unpacked that, I’ll invite you to turn your attention inward. You might close your eyes to help you focus and start exploring the physical sensations in your body— things like size, shape, texture, temperature, or even images and words that come to mind. This process helps us uncover the deeper connections between your body and your emotions.
As you explore these sensations, I’ll guide you to get curious about what’s coming up. Often, this brings up sensations tied to past experiences, particularly childhood memories with authority figures or significant relationships. I’ll be right there by your side, guiding you to explore and cultivate new ways of being, responding, and relating to those close to you.
We’ll end each session by connecting your insights from our time with the concerns you brought in that day, identifying small “experiments” you can try during the week to integrate the discoveries you’ve uncovered. By engaging both your mind and body, you can begin to break deeply engrained patterns and build a deeper connection to yourself, making real, lasting change possible.
Somatic therapy can help you…
Trust your body and its wisdom
Rather than just analyzing or thinking through everything, you can learn to tune into—and ultimately trust—what your body is telling you.
Break the cycle of overextending.
Start to recognize when you’re running on autopilot and shift from constant “doing” to tuning into your own needs.
Take up space.
Learn how to feel more comfortable owning your presence, your needs, and your voice—without apologizing for it.
Pause before reacting.
Instead of automatically responding to triggers, know how to ground yourself, recognize your needs, and communicate from a more centered place.
Feel safe in relationships.
Discover emotional safety that comes from within, not dependent on your partner’s behavior.
Embrace real rest.
Little by little, expand your capacity to slow down, recharge, and let go of the pressure to always be productive.
Receive and believe.
Learn how to take in compliments, acknowledge your strengths, and truly see your own capability.
Step back when needed.
Notice when someone else is dysregulated and learn how to disengage rather than getting pulled into their chaos.
