Are you experiencing anxiety, difficulty sleeping, a tense or painful body, or a sadness that lingers no matter what you do? Trauma can cause the body to develop a state of hypervigilance—a persistent sense of being on guard, as though it is continually braced for danger. Over time, these patterns of stress and tension can contribute to chronic pain, depression, digestive issues, PTSD-anxiety symptoms, insomnia, sexual health challenges, immune system dysfunction. By creating greater freedom in the body, breath, and energy flow, Somatic Therapy helps foster regulation, healing, and a deeper sense of well-being. Somatic Thera
This practice invites a tender & compassionate relationship with the body — one that supports healing that is integrative, restorative, and enduring. I specialize in PTSD-Anxiety Disorder, Grief & Loss, Depression, Insomnia, Physical Pain, Concussion (mild traumatic head injury), Sexual Trauma & Physical Assault, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, TMJ, Ancestral Work
Within a safe and nurturing environment, you are invited to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with the wisdom of your body. Through compassionate presence and mindful exploration, repressed emotions and stored experiences can gently come into awareness, allowing for release, healing, and transformation.

I use Integrative Somatic Therapy alongside Talk Therapy in my practice to facilitate deep releases of body stored trauma. Using Mindfulness, Yoga, Movement, Breathwork, Bodywork & Sound to support mind-body-emotion self regulation. Once you're able to breathe deeply into the body, you will feel grounded & connected to release fear, sadness, grief, anger and/or rage. Clarity comes when you let go.
