I have a great deal of experience with those who are looking to move forward, but need support to gain self awareness, confidence and feel heard as they make the sometimes difficult changes that will allow this to occur.

I integrate family systems, somatic work, and nervous-system awareness to help clients slow down reactivity, understand each other differently, and create more connection at home.
Somehow, you’re having that conversation again. The topic might be different: money, sex, parenting, the dishes, your families, but the ending feels remarkably familiar. One of you feels unheard. The other feels criticized. Someone shuts down, someone pushes harder, and suddenly neither of you is even talking about the thing you started talking about. You love each other, but lately it can feel like you’re speaking different languages. Resentment builds. Intimacy changes. And even when you both want things to be different, somehow you end up right back where you started.

Somatic Therapists
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.
