Somatic Therapy + EMDR Therapy

You like feeling in control and put together, but lately you’ve been feeling like a mess: below the surface you’re dealing (or not dealing) with some uncomfortable mix of tired, robotic, frustrated, and overwhelmed. You wish you could analyze less, trust yourself more, and meet the challenges of daily life in a way you feel proud of. You want to go deeper, below the surface, and transform. 

Traditional talk therapy uses thinking or story as an entry point for therapy. Somatic therapy and EMDR access awareness and narrative through the body.  

I work best with sensitive, deep, questioning folks who value independence and crave warmth and connection.


Somatic psychotherapy and EMDR support you to be in your experience at the safe-but-not-too-safe edges where you can grow into the person you want to be. You’ll learn to:

 

  • Go beyond the chatter of your mind and listen to yourself in a new way


  • Rediscover your strengths


  • Befriend your shortcomings (so perfectionism, overworking, procrastination, or people pleasing doesn’t hijack your life)


  • Support your nervous system to reorganize past experiences 


  • Savor the nourishment of good experiences 


  • Nurture unseen or overlooked parts of yourself


  • Show up authentically in your relationships


  • Analyze less and trust yourself more

 

Somatic Therapy and EMDR therapy are embodied holistic approach to address issues like:

 

  • Anxiety 


  • Perfectionism 


  • People pleasing 

  • Anger 
and resentment

  • Stress
 

  • Burnout 


  • Overwhelm 


  • Life changes or transitions


  • Trauma


  • Shame


  • Relationship distress


  • Boundaries

  • Self esteem


  • Chronic pain



It’s your process, your life, but you weren’t meant to do it alone. We all grow, celebrate, and heal through relationships.

 

I'm a Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, EMDR Certified, and experienced integrating trauma-sensitive yoga with traditional talk therapy. Together we’ll develop a plan that recognizes your unique circumstances and goals so you can move through your life’s complexities with embodied intention.
