Somatic Psychotherapy

gently changing the way you know yourself

In our world connection and compassion are not always easy to find or ask for. It can be hard to allow ourselves to step out of the rushing and the pressure for an hour, to be witnessed in an atmosphere of caring and acceptance. People long to be heard and seen and experienced by another in safety and warmth.  As humans, we are built to need this connection.

In therapy we can begin to grow as we feel invited to notice ourselves in new ways.

In life, along the way, we may feel stuck, hurt, or just off track. Then we need an accepting witness and the invitation to know ourselves differently and freshly.

As we awaken and heal we can begin to feel calmed, and energized from with in.

To me the many parts of the healing process, sitting with you in your little wounded spaces, as near or far as you need, sharing your excitement and joy as you begin to see shifts and change or just laughing with you at many of life’s absurdities, are beautiful, mixed and profound. I work from a strong skills set and a deep love for the human spirit. I invite you to come in for a free 20 minute conversation to check out our working together.   

I have witnessed that where there is great hurt there is also an amazing capacity for healing.

So whether you  feel  like you have had your struggles your whole life or that they have come on  suddenly, therapy can help.You can feel  better,  you can feel less isolated and your own wisdom can begin to emerge. Bad experiences can lose their sting and simply become a part of history.

If you are experiencing;

* Depression

* Anxiety

* Grief

* Trauma

* PTSD

Or you feel like you are having a hard time coping with;

* Parenting

* Divorce or separation

* New transitions

* The challenges of high school, college or adjusting to young adulthood.

*  You have made the choice to be clean and sober and now what’s next?

These issues and events can bring intense feelings. Support in navigating these times can be the critical difference in how you come through them. I would be honored to help you through what you need to get through, and forward to the next stage of your life.

If we work together, we will create a process suited to your needs, that builds on your strengths. I provide a mind-body approach that gently and effectively helps you build the change you want for yourself. This approach can change your relationships with yourself, those you love and the world around you, and bring you greater satisfaction in your life as it opens up to you in new ways.
