Somatic Therapy for Trauma

An Experiential Approach for Sensitive and Anxious Adults with Complex, Developmental, and Attachment Trauma

Your whole life, it’s felt like you just can’t relax. 

​​​

You’re constantly in your head, worried about how other people see you. You stay up late scrolling on social media, and it seems like everyone else is doing better than you. Memories from childhood haunt you, all the times you were made to feel like you were wrong or bad for just being alive. 

​

The shame is unbearable and makes you want to just curl up into a little ball and hide. The worst part is it’s affecting all areas of your life and you're pretty sure you're doomed because:

​

  • You feel like a total imposter at work and can’t muster the courage to ask for that raise you really need.

  • You keep canceling on your friends because you feel too anxious to go out in public, and you figure you’ll probably never have satisfying relationships anyway.

  • You’ve been too nervous to date because you’re afraid that once someone gets to know the real you, they won’t want to stick around.

  • You’re avoiding places that you used to love going to.

  • You try to make everyone in your family happy and end up neglecting your own needs.​​

​

It feels like trauma is constantly following you around, knocking on your shoulder, and you just want to feel light again. You want to feel carefree, you want to dance again, you want to laugh so hard that you cry!​

​

You've tried it all:

  • Weed and retail therapy aren't helping.

  • Talk therapy has only left you feeling worse.

  • You've borrowed every self-help book under the sun from the library.

  • Drowning yourself in work projects only helps so much.​

​

You're ready for some serious healing, but you don't know where to start.​

But what if you did start? And a few sessions later...​

​​

  • You feel like you can finally breathe again.

  • You're going out with your friends and having the best time.

  • You're making new friends that feel like a perfect fit.

  • You feel comfortable expressing your needs and boundaries.

  • You've made peace with toxic friendships that ended horribly.

  • You refreshed your dating profile and matched with a total cutie.

  • You see your mom and you don't get rattled anymore.

  • You feel a sense of peaceeven though you can't change the past. 

  • You speak up in meetings and you finally asked for - and got - that raise you wanted!​

​

Trauma fucking sucks. You're SO ready to get unstuck from where you're at. And that's where I come in.​​

​​​

I know you've probably looked at a million other therapist websites by now. Trauma - especially the way it impacts how we see ourselves and how we feel in relationships - is my jam.

​

I use somatic approaches for healing trauma. These are experiential approaches that address the physiological and emotional learnings that shape your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships.

 

The modalities I'm trained in are equal parts neuroscience and ancient wisdom. By helping your body feel understood and supported you can feel safer in your body, confident about who you are, and empowered to build healthy relationships. We can actually shift things so that you don't feel so stuck.​

 

Imagine actually feeling at home in your own body and able to connect with other people without losing yourself.

You can have all that and more when we work together.

 

I'm here and ready to answer all your questions.

 

I hope to see your name on my calendar!
