Somatic Therapists in Canon City, CO
Hi, I'm Eddie! As your therapist, it is my goal to see you become a better version of yourself. It is my belief that life's experiences teach things about the world that may no longer be the most helpful or true today; even if they were true at the time in our past. When we don't adapt and remain flexible, we find ourselves in a web of mistaken beliefs, thinking errors and unresolved life problems. As a result, it becomes too hard to find our way and manage life's challenges in the here-and-now. I love to be present when my clients find a new way and authentically experience change.

As a licensed clinical social worker and former classroom teacher, I bring both clinical and educational insight to help families and individuals build measurable progress.

Over a decade ago, I decided to step away from my career as a teacher, which I loved, and embark on a path of self-discovery. This change was difficult, but I knew I would continue to do what excites me: helping people see the world differently. My journey took me to several places, eventually landing in a small village in southern Africa. It was here that I learned firsthand the importance of mental well-being. Although my job in this village was to teach, the people there taught me more than I could ever teach them.

I integrate somatic interventions, mindfulness practices, and practical lifestyle strategies to support lasting growth.
Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in your own thoughts can be exhausting, especially when life feels nonstop. Many of the people I work with are accustomed to pushing through stress, overthinking, caring for everyone else first, or feeling like they can never truly relax.
I believe healing often begins by slowing down and listening to what the body has been trying to communicate all along. Our bodies carry stress, emotions, and long-standing patterns in ways we may not always recognize. Learning to notice these signals with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment, can open the door to meaningful change.

I utilize body and brain based modalities such as Brain Synchronization Therapy (like EMDR), somatic therapy interventions, and Energy Psychology.
You've been through so much. Far more stress, anxiety, hurt, and betrayal than anyone should ever have to go through. Fear now lives where peace and joy should be. Yet you still have so much left to give. So much love and caring. I'm guessing you have probably heard this before: that you take care of everyone else, possibly at your own expense. Even though you have so much to give to others, it can be very difficult to feel connected to the people you love and to yourself when so much anxiety and fear is present.

Have you experienced trauma, stress or loss in your life? Most likely the answer is yes, we all have a different tolerance for the things life throws at us.

My goal is to create a safe place for you or your child to begin understanding how these stressors are impacting your life. I want to normalize the importance of self awareness, communication and self love.

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.
