Therapy for individuals and couples

Somatic Therapy

Many of us want the same things: to feel safe, to love and be loved, to be seen, heard and supported, and to be at home in our bodies. However, being a human is complicated, and when presented with more than is manageable, our bodies' innate intelligence takes over and holds onto tough experiences for us. This is where somatic psychotherapy can help. In therapy, I provide a warm and accepting space where we work together, respectfully exploring what nourishes you and what your needs, values, and aspirations are. We’ll explore what holds you back, where you’d like to see change, and what may support you in expressing your whole authentic self. We’ll gently and slowly uncover what experiences your body may be holding as they arise in the present moment and how to interpret your body's innate guidance and knowledge.

My work is informed by bioenergetics, spiritual psychology, and a two-person relational approach. In my work with couples, I lean into the Hakomi principles of mindfulness, organicity, non-violence, body/mind holism and unity. I am passionate about supporting people in becoming more fully embodied.

Why Somatics?

As a somatic therapist, I see the body as central to our lived experiences, and so whatever it is you’re coming to therapy to work on, we do so through tuning into the voice of the body. Traditional psychotherapy can be thought of as a top-down approach: “let’s make changes through your mind” whereas somatic psychotherapy is a bottom-up approach: “let’s change your mind through your body.”
