You Can’t Think Your Way Out of a dysregulated nervous System
Book A Free Consultation
You’ve read the books. You understand the patterns. But no matter how much insight you gain, your body still goes into survival mode when triggered.That’s because trauma and stress aren’t stored in your thoughts, they’re stored in your body.Somatic therapy helps you reconnect with the signals your body is sending, so you can respond with care rather than automatic defense. It’s not about “fixing” you, it’s about creating space to feel safe, present, and regulated in your own skin.
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to healing trauma, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm. Unlike traditional talk therapy that focuses primarily on cognition, somatic therapy helps you:
It’s not about forcing cathartic releases or diving into pain. It’s about building capacity, the ability to stay present with yourself, even when things feel unpleasant, and even when they feel pleasant.
If you’ve ever thought:
…then somatic therapy might be the missing piece.
Somatic work with me isn't a set of exercises. It's a relational process where we co-create a space for you to experience safety in your body, often for the first time.
You'll learn to notice subtle sensations, breath patterns, and physical responses without judgment. We move slowly, with care, so your system feels safe to notice rather than shut down.
We'll explore grounding tools that help your nervous system shift from survival mode (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) to a state of safety and connection.
If we're working with traumatic memories, we'll do so gently, pacing the work so your body isn't overwhelmed. Somatic therapy focuses on regulation first, processing second.
Attachment wounds and trauma often make co-regulation difficult. In therapy, the relationship itself becomes a space to practice steady, attuned connection.
I offer somatic therapy for adults who:
As a licensed trauma therapist (LCSW) with advanced somatic training, my work is deeply rooted in body-based healing, but it’s not formulaic. I don’t believe in forcing catharsis or rushing integration.My PhD in cultural anthropology informs my understanding of how lived experiences (culture, identity, family dynamics) shape the body’s relationship to safety.As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I understand the subtle ways bodies adapt to survive in spaces that don’t fully see them.Clients often describe therapy with me as “permission-giving”, a space where their body’s pace is honored, not overruled.
Whether you're new to therapy or returning with a deeper intention, you deserve a space that honors your story and supports your healing without judgment or urgency.

No. Somatic therapy with me is entirely non-touch. We work with body awareness through guided tracking, breathwork, and noticing internal cues—always at your pace.
Yes. In fact, dissociation is often a key reason people seek somatic therapy. We'll work gently to build your capacity for connection without overwhelming your system.
Not at all. Somatic therapy meets you where you are. No prior experience required.
