Somatic Therapy
Your body holds stories that words alone can’t tell.
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach that helps restore balance to the nervous system - especially after trauma, stress, or long periods of survival-mode living. It’s not just about regulation; it’s about honoring the intelligence of your body, and listening to what it’s been carrying.
I specialize in working with folks who are living with the impacts of trauma - whether from specific events (like accidents, assaults, or medical experiences), or from the slow, cumulative toll of caregiving, activism, and navigating oppressive systems. Many of my clients arrive feeling anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or numb - and maybe unsure why. Together, we make space to notice what’s beneath those signals.
Somatic work can look many ways. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we pause and notice sensations, images, or emotions in the body. Sometimes we orient gently to the environment around us. We don’t force insights or re-live painful stories - we track what’s present, and follow what unfolds.
This process isn’t about fixing you. It’s about creating conditions where your system can remember what it already knows: how to flow, how to rest, how to reconnect.
You are not broken. You are responding, wisely, to a world that often asks too much. Somatic therapy offers a space to listen to that wisdom and begin to move with it, not against it.
