INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Through a combination of talk therapy and body-centered techniques, I support my clients to gain a deeper understanding of the ways their thoughts and emotions are connected to their physical sensations.

I provide weekly therapy. Many of my clients are looking to work through:

  • Trauma or pain from childhood (physical, sexual and/or emotional abuse)

  • Memories, sensations, flashbacks that are feeling disruptive

  • Big life changes (break-ups, moving, job changes, transitioning from school to career)

  • Navigating relationships (feeling stuck in a specific role within family, work, friendships, and/or romantic partnerships)

  • Grief, loss and bereavement

  • Identity exploration and crisis

  • Managing panic attacks and overwhelming feelings of anxiety

  • Body image struggles

  • Creating and maintaining meaningful boundaries

The following theoretical and body-focused techniques guide my work: 

  • Trauma-focused & trauma-informed

  • Psychodynamic theory

  • Feminist theory

  • Internal Family Systems/Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (parts work)

  • Relational

  • Attachment-based

  • Strengths-based

  • Somatic Experiencing®

  • Yoga

  • Mindfulness

  • Polyvagal theory

  • Movement

  • Creative expression

somatic experiencing

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-centered technique that helps people recover from traumatic events by focusing on body sensations and physical responses. The idea behind this method is that traumatic experiences can get “stuck” in the body and cause symptoms like anxiety, depression, physical pain, and other mental and physical challenges.

I help my clients get to know their bodies and their unique nervous system responses through education, movement, breathing exercises, and other techniques that support building a safe connection with their bodies. We then gradually work towards processing physical responses that may be associated with traumatic event(s). 

My goal when using Somatic Experiencing with any client is to process traumatic experiences in a safe and controlled way so that they can feel more empowered by their connection with their body.
