Somatic Therapists in Tustin, CA

Grief - heartbreaking loss. Shocking pain. Death of a family member, child, friend, pet, relationship, job. Unexpected or anticipated, it's so hard. Loss of physical ability from illness or accident. Raw, striking agony. You hurt in your head, your heart. Your body aches. Crying spells. It’s difficult to concentrate or remember things, make decisions, think straight. Waking up at night unable to go back to sleep. You feel so alone, even when you are with people who don't know how to act around you. Impossible- your life is forever changed. Anxiety creeps in with worry about the future. The suffering at times feels unbearable.

“To see and hear what is here, instead of what should be, was, or will be. To say what I feel and think, instead of what I should. To feel what I feel, instead of what I ought. To ask for what I want, instead of always waiting for permission. To take risks on my behalf, instead of choosing to be safe and not rock the boat.” ― Virginia Satir.

Therapy should be client-focused & should occur in an atmosphere of warmth & safety. My style is caring, creative and non-judgmental. A trusting relationship between client and therapist is essential for successful outcomes in therapy. Through this relationship, clients can explore the emotional challenges that they are facing. With the help of an empathic therapist, one can begin to gain awareness of unconscious emotional patterns, feelings & beliefs. Through the processing of this unconscious material, old wounds can be healed and the client can gain insight that equips them to create a life that is more satisfying and meaningful.
