Has therapy ever felt like venting, but you wanted more than just talk? You’re looking for a new holistic approach.
Somatic therapy uses your whole being, mind body spirit, as a resource for healing.
I blend top down and bottom up therapy (cognitive and body-based) to help your body complete the stress cycle to rest. In somatic therapy, healing can begin quickly without needing to retell your whole story. You’ll build new ways to relate when stress arises directly in your body.
If you want talking too, I blend somatic therapy with trauma therapy and parts work therapy to help you integrate any unresolved past that is affecting your present.
I’ll teach you specific mind body practices to calm your nervous system directly.
What are some of the mind body practices?
After any exercise, we’ll talk about what came up, so there is verbal processing too. You’ll leave knowing how to integrate the changes that you felt in your body into your daily life.
Somatic therapy addresses the underlying stress in your body so you can finally think clearly and choose coping skills with intention.
Therapy with me isn’t just sitting and talking, you’ll learn practical skills for daily life, informed by yoga, somatics, and nervous system polyvagal theory.
