Somatic Therapy
is a trauma informed approach that supports personal growth by exploring the story your body and nervous system are wanting to tell. This work supports your mental health by restoring trust in your body's innate capacity to self-regulate, increases self confidence and reduces shame, and expands your ability to connect with yourself and others.
Missed Connections
You were made for connection:
​​​
Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress can make it difficult to connect with yourself and others.
You might find yourself irritable at home or work.
You may have a hard time feeling safe in your relationships or find it difficult to move toward your goals.
You may feel spaced out, disinterested, or separate from the world around you.
​
Somatic Therapy can help by teaching you how to reconnect with feelings of safety and strength,
develop a healthy sense of self,
and reclaim your choices and reasons for choosing them.
