Life gets overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying things alone for a long time. In our work together, we slow things down, regulate your nervous system, and help you feel safe in your own body again. If you’re ready for grounded, trauma guided, compassionate support, I’m here. I work with heterosexual or LGBTQ individuals

Many people come to therapy carrying quiet burdens — the kind that don’t always show on the outside but feel heavy on the inside. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of navigating everything on your own, you’re not alone. I offer a space where you can slow down, breathe, and be met with compassion rather than judgment.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in trauma‑informed care. I help adults make sense of their experiences, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward clarity, steadiness, and self‑trust. You don’t need the “right words” or a perfect starting point. I offer support that feels safe, steady, and genuinely attuned to you.

Groups

Somatic Therapy Techniques

Hosted by

Susan McGilloway

Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that integrates physical sensations with emotional awareness. It helps clients notice tension, movement, and breath patterns to release trauma, reduce anxiety, and restore balance. By focusing on the mind-body connection, somatic therapy empowers individuals to process experiences stored in the body, fostering resilience, grounding, and self-regulation.
