English
| español I believe the ability to heal already exists in you, waiting to be uncovered from beneath past protective patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you're successful & functioning on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Your mind overthinks & your body is tense. From past trauma or current stress, part of you feels broken, not enough, unworthy, or unlovable. You already know this shame, but aren't aware of other parts of you. Those that know how to rest, relax, self-care, balance emotions, & love yourself. You hope you can befriend your own mind, body, & spirit as allies instead of enemies.
As a somatic & IFS informed therapist, I teach practical skills to help you face & release trapped stress & emotions from your body, so you can begin to love all parts of yourself. By allowing your body to complete its stress cycle, your mind is unstuck & now free. I may then offer trauma work to integrate any unresolved past that affects your present.
During somatic therapy, we don't just talk or think about change, you truly feel it, because we address your nervous system directly through concrete experiential exercises. I specialize somatics & parts work to treat anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, & addiction. If you feel ready or simply desperate enough to take a chance on this new approach, let's talk.
