Stop Feeling Stuck
and
Start Feeling Strong.
Somatic Therapy
is a trauma informed approach that supports personal growth by exploring the story your body and nervous system want to tell.
This work improves your mental health by restoring trust in your body's innate capacity to self-regulate, increases self confidence and reduces shame, and expands your ability to make meaningful connection with yourself and others.
Missed Connections
You were made for connection:
​​​
Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress can make it difficult to connect with yourself and others.
You might find yourself irritable at home or work.
You may have a hard time feeling safe in your relationships or find it difficult to move toward your goals.
You may feel spaced out, disinterested, or separate from the world around you.
​​
Trauma can set you back, making you feel hopeless, powerless, and without control. Using somatic therapies, I will help you develop the skills and presence necessary to support peace and strength in your mind and body so you can stop feeling stuck, and start feeling strong.​
