Tension is building inside of you and lashing out or shutting down seem to be the only way to deal with this feeling. But this is not how you want to live your life. Acting in these ways is harming you and your relationships. You vow to stop this, to do things differently, but it keeps happening over and over again. They say you are “too sensitive” or you need to “lighten up.” But it just feels like no one sees you or understands you. There is so much responsibility on you and when you are dismissed the resentment gets even bigger. You can't imagine how therapy can possibly help when it feels like everyone else is the problem.

But it can. Somatic Therapy with me will help you focus on new ways to process the sensations in your body and allow your nervous system, your mind and your body, to develop new, clear ways to communicate your needs, wants and feelings to yourself and to others so that you can find new ways to respond. Yes, you can do this.

We will work together to create a new experience for your nervous system so that you are in charge – not your old triggers. Tapping into your inner wisdom you will find clarity, calm, and freedom from rage, depression and anxiety. With connection, heart and humor, together we will help you make the changes you need. Call today for a free consultation.

Ever wonder why you can get so defensive sometimes? Trauma wires the nervous system for survival and protection. It takes some work and with support you can change this behavior. Through holistic, somatic and mindfulness approaches we will work together to help you rewire your nervous system for connection and healing so that you can finally have the relationships you desire.
