Message to clients

When faced with adverse, stressful, or traumatic experiences you may have found yourself minimizing, detaching from, or hiding parts of yourself to feel safe or to survive. Sometimes that disconnections becomes habitual and these experiences leave lasting imprints in our mind and body which may manifest as anxiety, depression, OCD, and/or as addiction to substances and sex. I use a blend of psychodynamic talk therapy and somatic therapy to create a supportive space to help you recognize and process these experiences, allowing for emotional healing and greater alignment with your true self. Through body focused techniques, somatic therapy helps you reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been shut down or numbed in response to trauma or stress. By fostering a deeper awareness of your body’s signals and understanding how the past informs the present, it becomes possible to recognize old patterns and create space for new, healthier ways of being. New connection then leads to new possibilities and relief from symptoms.
