What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a holistic approach to healing that focuses on the connection between the mind and body. If you’ve reached a plateau in talk therapy, somatic therapy might be the next step in your healing journey. While talk-based therapy helps you process and understand your experiences intellectually, it may not fully address the emotions and trauma stored in the body. This is where somatic therapy comes in.

In somatic therapy, we focus on your bodily experiences rather than solely analyzing with the mind. Many women, especially those who have experienced trauma, find it challenging to feel and process emotions physically. By tuning into your body’s sensations, we can gently explore and release stored stress and trauma, leading to deeper healing and transformation.

How Somatic Therapy Can Help You

If you’ve been feeling stuck or unable to move past certain challenges, somatic therapy can help you breakthrough. It supports you in:

• Moving beyond the limitations of talk therapy by accessing and processing emotions held in the body.

• Achieving greater nervous system regulation, leading to a sense of calm and resilience.

• Building a deeper connection with your body and its signals, empowering you to respond to life's challenges with more ease and clarity.

While I am still working towards full licensure under supervision, our sessions will be a safe space to explore these experiences. We won’t focus on digging up old trauma, but rather, we’ll gently address whatever arises naturally through somatic modalities. This approach ensures that healing happens at a pace that feels right for you, with a strong foundation of trust and connection.

Your Journey with Somatic Therapy

The process begins slowly, allowing us to build trust and understand your unique needs. As we progress, you’ll notice improvements in your ability to manage stress and regulate your nervous system. This is not a quick fix but a profound, body-centered journey toward healing and self-discovery.
