Somatic Therapists in Indianapolis, IN
It is a somatic approach that integrates the entire nervous system, not just the brain.
Are you doing everything “right,” yet still feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by your past? Do you feel like you are walking through life with a mask, trying to prove to everybody that you’re “fine”?
You don’t have to keep being “fine”.
Therapy can be a space where you finally take off that mask, feel deeply understood, not judged, and where real, lasting change begins. Here, your story matters. Together, we’ll gently untangle the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that have been holding you back, while building a new way of relating to yourself; one rooted in clarity, self-trust, and compassion.

You may look like you are holding it together, but inside your body feels tense, tired, or on edge. Past experiences may still surface through anxiety, grief, or a sense of not feeling safe, even when life seems calm. If this sounds familiar, you are not broken and you are not alone. I work with children, teens, and adults impacted by trauma, including medical trauma, who want relief and deeper healing. Clients often seek support for anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, family stress, grief, life transitions, or questions around identity, sexuality, or faith. Some simply want a safe place to feel seen and begin healing.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to start therapy. Many of the clients I’ve worked with have felt overwhelmed by the demands of others struggling with anxiety, burnout, or a sense of disconnection from themselves. In our work together, we focus on building boundaries, gaining clarity, and reconnecting with your sense of self.

I use a mix of different treatment types in my practice, including but not limited to: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused, Somatic, and Person Centered therapies.
The people I work with tend to be navigating life changes and transitions, exploring identity concerns and/or neurodiversity, as well as seeking ways to manage their emotions. Curiosity, openness to new perspectives, and motivation to take action are welcomed. Transition can mean many things: entering the workforce, going to school, beginning/ending a relationship, gender, existential concerns, learning how to "adult" and so much more. I enjoy helping people learn more about themselves and build skills. This helps us know how to take care of ourselves and gives us ideas of what to do when life gets messy.

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.
