Somatic Experiencing Integrated Psychotherapy

Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach that works with your nervous system's natural capacity to settle and self-regulate.

It invites us to do something we're not very practiced at: less thinking and more experiencing…paying attention to what is happening underneath the story we tell, not just the story itself.

Reach out to connect

Maybe you are:

Noticing that your body tenses, freezes, or reacts before you are even aware of a stressor

Feeling like you've talked through the story endlessly, but it still doesn't feel resolved

Sensing that some of what you're carrying started before you had words for it

Looking for a less heady, more embodied way of working through things

Someone who's tried talk therapy before and felt like part of the picture was still missing

And you want to:

Feel like your body is working with you, not against you

Reach what is stuck underneath the story, not just retell the story again

Feel settled in a way that actually lasts beyond the session

Trust your own sense of what's too much, not enough, or just right

How I work

I work relationally and at an unhurried pace, paying close attention to your nervous system's own signals about what it's ready for next.

My practice includes a Somatic Experiencing orientation, deepened through ongoing work with Kathy Kain's Touch Skills training.

About Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing works by noticing and tracking what's actually happening in your body…sensations, tension, breath, small movements…rather than staying only in the realm of thought and story.

A session might involve noticing where you feel something in your body, orienting to the safety of the room around you, or slowing down enough to let a small amount of activation move through and settle.

Nothing about this requires you to relive what happened or perform any particular reaction. Your body already knows how to self-regulate. This work simply makes space for that capacity to come back online, at whatever pace works for you.
