somatic therapy for women

Here’s how I see therapy: it’s a sacred space where you can evolve.

We are living in a time of collapse — both within and around us. Our old ways of being with ourselves, each other, and the earth are collapsing, and we are the transition team.

Here, you can transition your suffering into wisdom. You can learn to trust your inner knowing. You can redirect your life towards purpose and ease, and rewire your nervous system for love and connection.

Together, we can adapt with grace. And as your therapist, I can be your emotional midwife, guiding you through.


My approach is simple: I help you heal your nervous system.

 

I imagine you know why you are stressed, but could use some help healing all the way through. Somatic psychotherapy can help with this, because it’s therapy that ingrates your mind and body. Your head, heart and gut all get a seat at the table, here.

I use a form of mindfulness centered somatic psychotherapy called Hakomi, that has roots in the Eastern Philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism. I love this work for its focus on compassion and organicity. I am also trained in a trauma healing technique called Brainspotting. Brainspotting is targeted at healing neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain.

I’m influenced by the principles of Peter Levine’s work with Somatic Experiencing, and Stanley Kelemen’s work with Formative Psychology. Lastly, I bring in some of Donald Epstein's work with Somato Respiratory Integration and use guided meditations adapted from the teachings of Richard Miller and Swami Satyananda.  For those craving guidance with your intuition, I weave in teachings on the feminine principle. Through working with me, you can develop your inner voice, prioritize your ease, and reconnect with the natural world.  

 

Your approach and presence is so refreshing in a sea of pretty buttoned up and rigid therapists. I also enjoyed our spiritual discussions and believe it contributed greatly to how much I have grown during my time working with you.
