Is this therapy for me?

You may be noticing symptoms as a result of a singular overwhelming event, or longer-term circumstances, that have taken place at any stage of life. It's also possible that you do not have a conscious memory of what has caused overwhelm.

​

- The overwhelming weight of trying to handle everything on your own.

​

- Anxiety and fear when facing life transitions or unexpected changes.

​

- A constant state of stress and unease that just won’t seem to fade.

​

- A persistent inner struggle to feel worthy and enough.

​

- A sense of disconnection - unsure of who you are beyond your roles as a parent, partner, or professional.

What to expect in session.

Building Awareness of the Body - You’ll be guided to tune into physical sensations, helping you reconnect with your body’s wisdom and recognize patterns of tension, stress, or overwhelm.

​

Regulating the Nervous System – I support your body in moving through cycles of activation and settling, allowing stuck energy from past experiences to gently release.

​

Expanding Resilience – Through grounding techniques and gentle exploration, you’ll develop tools to navigate stress and emotions with more ease.

​

Completing Unfinished Responses – If your body has been stuck in patterns of fight, flight, freeze, or collapse, I help to facilitate the completion of these protection responses, reducing lingering anxiety or tension.

​

Integrating Healing at Your Own Pace – This work is not about reliving trauma, but rather about supporting your body in processing it safely—at a pace that feels right for you.

Benefits of somatic therapy.

I use a body-first approach by working with the nervous system rather than relying solely on thoughts and emotions. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which focuses on “top-down processing”(starting with thoughts and emotions), Somatic Experiencing (SE) uses “bottom-up processing”—helping you tune into physical sensations, movement, and the body’s natural rhythms to unlock deeper healing.

By working with the autonomic nervous system, where trauma is stored, SE helps shift patterns of stress and survival responses, allowing your system to gradually restore balance.

​

This gentle, body-centered approach works at a slow, manageable pace to prevent overwhelm while increasing your ability to tolerate difficult sensations and suppressed emotions. SE helps “unfreeze” the body’s natural responses, allowing for a healthy flow between activation (stress) and relaxation (calm).

Over time, this process fosters a greater sense of resilience, presence, and connection, helping you move beyond past experiences and into a life that feels more balanced and whole.
