Somatic Psychotherapy

Healing that includes the mind and body

Your body holds what words can't fully reach.

Somatic psychotherapy works with the body directly.

Talking about what happened can only go so far. Somatic therapy connects with the nervous system alongside the conversation, so healing isn't just something you understand intellectually. It's something your body gets to experience differently, too.

Somatic Psychotherapy Can Help With

  • Anxiety

  • Trauma and its lingering effects in the body

  • Chronic stress

  • Feeling disconnected from yourself or your emotions

  • Patterns that talk therapy alone hasn't shifted

  • Difficulty being present, in your body or in your life

  • Wanting more than coping — wanting to feel whole

How Somatic Psychotherapy Differs

This isn't talk therapy with a body-awareness add-on — the body is part of the work from the start. Sessions bring attention to what's happening physically as you speak: where tension shows up, how your breath shifts, what your nervous system is doing in real time.

We draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gestalt therapy, and mindfulness alongside somatic awareness — not as separate techniques, but as different doors into the same goal: helping you meet your experience as it actually is, rather than how you think it should be.

Nothing here requires you to perform insight or arrive with the right words. Presence is enough to start.

My Approach

I work the body, not just the story

Your nervous system holds information your mind hasn't put into words yet. We pay attention to both.

I draw from multiple traditions, not one script.

ACT, Gestalt, mindfulness, and somatic work each offer something different — I bring in whichever fits what's actually happening for you, rather than following one fixed method.

I start from the assumption that you are not broken.

Healing isn't about fixing what's wrong with you. It's about building a different relationship with your own experience. A relationship with more room in it.
