Have you tried talk therapy before but feel that sharing your story isn't as helpful as you would like it to be? My approach to therapy is to track activation in your nervous system as you share your story - helping you attune to your experiences of distress, anxiety or depressive symptoms. This is your body's way of communicating to you about your experiences in the world, past and present. Together, we can work with this felt sense to expand your resilience, resulting in better coping. You will learn to recognize and expand the internal, external and missing resources to aid in your healing.
I use Somatic Experiencing. SE is a “bottom-up” treatment that brings the nervous system into the conversation compared to talk therapy alone which is a top-down approach to treating distress. SE can help with trauma, but also addresses anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, difficulty concentrating, feeling numb/dissociation, relational trauma and more.
I will hold space for your story and I will respect your identity, culture, agency, and pace. I use a trauma-informed lens to explore your story, and along with SE I also use Internal Family Systems or ‘parts work,' and I like teaching clients about the powerful tools of meditation and mindfulness. I like being creative and moving the body in therapy!
