You've built a life that looks successful from the outside. But inside, you feel anxious, depleted, or disconnected. Maybe you've tried therapy before and it gave you insight, but the patterns haven't shifted. Or maybe you've never been in a therapist's office, and you've been doing your own work through reading, podcasts, or practice. Either way, you sense there's something the thinking mind can't resolve on its own. That's where somatic work begins.
I'm a licensed therapist (LMFT) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I work with adults who carry stress, anxiety, or relational patterns in their body, not just their biography.
Somatic Experiencing works directly with the nervous system to shift what insight alone hasn't changed. If you're looking for depth over quick fixes, I'd welcome a call.

Many clients come to me after doing talk therapy. They found it helpful for understanding their patterns, but they still feel stuck.

Traditional therapy engages the mind. Somatic work also engages the body, where stress and old patterns tend to live. That's often why insight alone isn't enough.
