Somatic Therapy

Your body has been keeping the story, too.

You can understand exactly why you feel the way you do—and still find yourself reacting the same way.

That's because healing doesn't happen through insight alone.

Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to trauma and mental health that works with the nervous system, physical sensations, emotions, and protective responses alongside the mind.

When talking isn't enough, we listen to the body.

Your nervous system learned how to protect you long before you had words for what was happening.

BEYOND THE STORY

Rather than only talking about an experience, somatic therapy helps you notice what's happening inside your body in the present moment.

BUILDING CAPACITY

Together, we work toward increasing your ability to experience emotion, connection, uncertainty, and stress without automatically moving into fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown.
