I provide somatic therapy to adults who grew up in dysfunctional families—people who had parents who were emotionally volatile, emotionally immature, struggled with substance abuse issues, or were mentally checked out. If you grew up in this kind of family, you may now struggle with chronic anxiety, poor sense of self, people-pleasing, and difficulty feeling safe in relationships. I'm hear to help you with those issues.
I take a somatic approach to therapy, which means I focus on the feelings in the body. The body is where we experience our emotions, and it is where we store our unconscious fears and beliefs. By observing the body, we can gain insight that we didn't have before, and we can work through all the unprocessed pain we have been carrying.
Somatic therapy invites you to be present. It does not always involve moving the body (though sometimes gentle movements help the process); but it does challenge you to sit with uncomfortable emotions without trying to fix them. If you can learn how to do that, you can heal your wounds and overcome your stuckness. I'm here to accompany you on that journey.
