Somatic Therapy

Historically, most therapy has hypothesized that the brain and the mind are the headquarters of our emotional and behavioral issues and nothing from the neck down matters. This has now been thoroughly debunked.

More current research is telling a far different and more complex story- emotions are held and remembered on a physical level within the body. All roads are a two-way street- what’s happening in the brain impacts the body, and what happens in the body impacts the brain.

Much of what ails us stems from a profound disconnection from ourselves, our bodies, and the world around us.

Somatic therapy strives to bridge that divide and return us to a more natural dance of connection and conversation between ourselves and the world.

I have years of additional training in somatic psychotherapy and often uses mind-body tools to help clients recover from trauma, manage stress, foster resiliency, and support integration and personal growth.
