My approach is gentle & body-oriented, using Somatic Experiencing, talk therapy, & nervous system regulation to help you reconnect with yourself, release old patterns & rebuild self-trust.
You may seem fine on the outside, but inside, you feel exhausted—stuck in survival mode, overwhelmed, or struggling to trust yourself and others. Maybe you've experienced painful relationships, boundary violations, or chronic stress that still affect you. You might feel anxious, disconnected, or notice that your body carries tension, even through physical symptoms or autoimmune issues.
You want more than just coping—you want to feel like yourself again. To trust, set boundaries, and move through life with ease. Right now, that might feel impossible. But healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
