Somatic Therapists in 27707

We live in a world that makes us sick and then capitalizes on our pain. The pain gets passed down through intergenerational trauma, parenting, and the culture at large. The impact erodes our physical and emotional health as well as our ability to nurture strong relationship with our own true selves and others. This unprocessed pain can manifest in your life in a myriad of ways including chronic depression, anxiety, low self-worth, codependency, overworking, addictive behaviors, and relational conflict.

Our bodies store everything we have ever experienced, making them essential in therapeutic and healing processes. When our bodies are full of painful experiences of the past, it can feel impossible to be engaged, invested, or fully alive in the present. I work well with clients that are seeking a somatic, integrative, and trauma-informed approach. My work with clients is creative, collaborative and designed to help individuals find pathways to embodiment and an expanded capacity to embrace all emotion or circumstance with greater ease, intimacy and balance.

As a Somatic Therapist and Licensed Health and Wellness Coach, I believe that everyone has within them an inner wisdom and inner healing power that is their natural birthright.

I have wide experience assisting individuals in managing a variety of behavioral and emotional concerns including trauma, chronic pain and health issues, difficult life transitions, weight management, anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Although you may feel scratched, dented, or even shattered at times in your life, you are not broken. Successes and challenges are only part of your whole, and we humans learn by doing, which sometimes means we grow at the rate of pain.

Therapy can help you gain the perspective and skills to be who you want to be.
