Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy for Mind-Body Healing

Offerings

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Each person comes in with their own history, nervous system, relationships, and goals. My work draws from somatic therapy, depth psychology, attachment repair, spirituality, and parts work to meet you where you are and help you move toward greater freedom, clarity, and inner safety.

Somatic Integration
Somatic work is at the heart of my approach. Instead of staying in the mind, we slow down enough to feel what the body is holding - tension, fear, sadness, or long-standing protective patterns.

We bring gentle awareness to sensations and emotional cues, helping you build a deeper relationship with your inner world. As your nervous system learns what safety feels like, many clients find more internal space, ease, and clarity.

Bringing CBT Deeper Into the Body
CBT offers useful tools, but cognitive changes rarely stick when the nervous system is overwhelmed. I integrate CBT principles with somatic work so the body also shifts.

Instead of simply challenging anxious thoughts, we explore what happens beneath the thoughts, such as tightening, collapsing, bracing, speeding up. When the body feels listened to it feels safer, andthe mind naturally follows.

Trauma work
Trauma often leaves us braced against life, even long after the event has passed. My work focuses on helping you feel safer inside yourself, co-regulate with me in session, and gradually soften the survival patterns that once protected you.

Instead of pushing too quickly into the trauma story, we move at the pace of your nervous system, toward steadiness, integration, and relief.

Attachment & Inner Child Healing
So many present-day struggles trace back to early experiences where our needs weren’t understood or met. Through inner child and parts work, we revisit these places gently and with care, not to relive the pain, but to finally offer yourself the attunement and protection you didn’t receive then.

This work helps soften perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-criticism, and emotional shutdown so you can move through life with more self-worth, trust, and inner stability.

Chronic Illness & Pain Support
Living with chronic illness or pain affects every layer of life. I offer a space to explore the emotional burden, grief, isolation, and frustration that often accompany long-term physical challenges.

Through somatic work, nervous-system regulation, and trauma-informed care, we help your body feel less alone and more supported, even when symptoms persist.

Couples Therapy
I help couples understand what happens in their bodies and nervous systems during conflict or disconnection. Beneath most arguments are softer needs for reassurance, closeness, safety, or understanding.

Together we slow things down, notice patterns, and create space for honest communication and emotional repair. Couples often discover a deeper connection, more safety, and a more authentic way of growing together.

Therapy for Adolescents
Adolescence is a tender time filled with emotional intensity and growing independence. I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space for teens to talk about anxiety, friendships, school stress, identity, and family relationships.

Our work focuses on helping them feel safe in their own bodies and more connected to who they are becoming. When supportive, I collaborate with parents to strengthen connection at home.

Parenting Support
Parenting brings up deep emotions and old patterns. I help parents understand their child’s nervous system and their own so interactions become less reactive and more connected.

We explore boundaries, communication patterns, and the deeper needs driving challenging behaviors. This work can bring more ease, clarity, and warmth into the family system.
