As a Somatic therapist, you will work to understand the way your nervous system responds to people and your environment. Somatic therapy explores the relationship between body sensations, emotions, and psychological experiences. With a deeper understanding of the way your nervous system responds and reacts, you can access your implicit memories and heal unconscious behavioral patterns and distressing emotions stored in your body.

Imagine feeling less tension and calmer in your body. Imagine being able to manage stress and anxiety better and find peace from within yourself. Imagine coming to know your emotions at a deeper level, feeling less scared of them and instead more connected to them. Imagine having more control over your responses instead of reacting without thinking about it. Somatic therapy can help you achieve this.

As an EMDR therapist, I’ll help you become "unstuck" in the present by addressing and healing painful experiences from your past. You may find yourself grappling with familiar, uncomfortable feelings that seem inescapable. Over time, these feelings can build up, causing reactions that feel out of character or bigger than the situation calls for. It’s common to feel as though you’ve lost control over these responses or emotions.

This may look like…

You make a mistake at work and feel a rush of shame, you start convincing yourself that you are incapable.

You have a conflict with your partner and experience a deep sense of anxiety or abandonment.

A friend may cancel plans last minute and you experience a wave of rejection, familiar feelings of not being good enough creep in.

You thought certain experiences were left in the past but they still seem to be impacting you. Despite your efforts to move on, old emotions, thoughts, and behaviors keep resurfacing, leaving them feeling unresolved. EMDR therapy can assist you in breaking free from these experiences by resolving old and stuck emotions, patterns you just can’t seem to break, and negative beliefs you hold about yourself like “I am not good enough” or “I am to blame”.

EMDR helps with painful experiences that still impact you today. This can include: a chaotic or angry environment growing up, emotionally immature or neglectful parents, bullying, parent’s divorce, cheating/infidelity, a break up, hurtful past relationships, consistently feeling alone or rejected, being parentified, substance abuse in your childhood home

As an attachment-based therapist, I’ll guide you in exploring your attachment style and the underlying experiences that influence how you connect with others. Research shows that our early relationships significantly shape our interactions in adulthood. By understanding and addressing your attachment patterns, you can transition from feelings of insecurity to a more secure sense of self and healthier relationships. Together, we can navigate this journey toward emotional safety and deeper connections.

Have you ever avoided conflict at all costs in relationships, even if that means ignoring your own needs?

Have you felt nervous when someone gets too close or shows too much vulnerability?

Have you felt like you want closeness with others but struggle because it is hard to trust in relationships?

Have you repeatedly sought out reassurance from friends or your partner to feel validated?

Do you often feel a fear of abandonment or rejection in your relationships?

Do you experience frequent thoughts such as “I am too much” or “I am not good enough” in your relationships?

Attachment-based therapy can help you explore and transform your relationships with yourself and others, fostering confidence, security, and a strong sense of self-worth.
