Somatic Therapists in 33156

I recognize the impact of trauma in my client's lives and seek to help them embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Many of the clients I support are dealing with the effects of past traumas, which may manifest as emotional distress, physical symptoms, or challenges in daily functioning. You may be seeking support for managing body-based distress and are open to exploring body-based tools for healing outside of cognitive therapy. Many of the modalities I use are based on the understanding that trauma is not only a psychological experience but also a physiological one, involving the body's nervous system.

As a Radix practitioner and psychotherapist, I work from a body-centered/somatic orientation with a broad range of issues, specializing in treating adults who have experienced trauma, relational challenges, addiction and codependency.

You may feel restless, like something’s not quite right. You may want to heal wounds, discover your purpose, feel more alive. Old ways of being are not quite working for you anymore. You want more - to be more yourself, to more fully embody your purpose, to have more fulfilling moments. To feel more connected, more like you belong, more sweetness. You have a sense that you're meant for something more than the mundane, the 9-5, the checking all the boxes. But you feel lost. You're not sure how to get where you want to go.

Do you find yourself gripped by anxiety and worry, no matter what you do?

You’re ready to gain deeper insight into yourself & your past experiences, and you’re ready to stop living on “autopilot” and start creating new patterns in your life, so you can live your best life.
