I got you and can understand. I found myself saying those things during the course of my life and like you, I was also seeking support to understand those feelings.

Areas of Focus
When we hear the word "trauma," we often think of major events like accidents or war, but our nervous system experiences trauma in many ways. The buildup of smaller stressors (financial struggles, loss, divorce, or difficult childhood experiences) can have an equally deep impact. My somatic approach to trauma work is slow, steady, and grounded in empathy, considering your unique history and coping patterns. While I can’t promise an easy path, I’m committed to creating a safe space and supporting you throughout your healing journey.

Anxiety
In the Somatic Approach, anxiety is seen as a response of the sympathetic nervous system, often called the “fight or flight” response. It can appear as rapid heartbeat, muscle tension, restlessness, or excessive worry. While many focus on managing anxious thoughts, this can sometimes intensify the experience. Somatic work instead helps calm anxiety by engaging directly with the body and nervous system. If you’d like to learn more about how this approach can support you, I’d be happy to discuss it further.
Our society often holds misconceptions about grief, expecting people to “get over it” quickly or only grieve certain types of losses. In reality, grief is complex, non-linear, and deeply personal. It can arise from many experiences—moving, job loss, the end of a relationship, or other major life changes. Grief may bring emotions like sadness, anger, disbelief, or numbness, all of which are valid. You don’t have to navigate it alone—your grief is welcome here, and support is available.

Relationship Issues
Relationship issues often are far more complex than simple miscommunication.
In our time together, we will explore relationship challenges beyond isolated incidents, focusing instead on the underlying dynamics, patterns of interaction, and behaviors. This approach will help you develop a deeper understanding of what constitutes a healthy relationship and equip you with strategies to navigate your own effectively.
