Sometimes life feels overwhelming. It can feel like we are fighting against unmovable forces or desperately treading water to stay afloat. Whether we zone out and lose energy, or become hyper anxious in response to our troubles, our nervous system takes over to protect us. When this happens we may find ourselves engaging in behaviors or thought patterns that aren't actually serving us, but keeping us stuck in a loop. Whether you are dealing with issues around anxiety, perfectionism, control, self-esteem, body image, relationships, co-dependency, boundary setting, trauma, stress, depression, or grief, somatic therapy can help.
As a Somatic Psychotherapist I help clients by supporting and helping to strengthen the body-mind connection. The mind is powerful, but the body tells a quieter story that often goes unheard. By bringing awareness to the body, the nervous system, our sensations and our emotions, we can listen, learn, and start to heal from a supported place of wholeness.
If moving through the "stuck" parts of your life and finding alignment, balance and wholeness in your mind and body feels interesting, exciting, or even a little scary to you, please reach out for a free consultation where we can determine if my style of therapy is right for you.
