Somatic Therapists in Aiea, HI
My therapy model is client focused and includes not only talk therapy but also somatic experiencing and environmental support.
Are you curious about different modalities to find clarity in trauma, narratives you tell yourself, or coping better through depression and/or anxiety that is coming up for you? The art of effective therapy not only addresses the identified need of the person, but the co-existing issues related to family, relationships, employment, education, spirituality, physical health, and mental health. I provide psychotherapy, ecotherapy, and psychedelic-integration therapy in an effort to shift modalities based on client curiosity.

We can explore both somatic and unconscious aspects of your experiences using trauma-informed approaches.
Individuals come to me for a trauma-focused, body-centered ( somatic therapy), or Jungian depth approach to psychotherapy, especially when they’re navigating complex trauma. Many feel stuck, lonely, overwhelmed, or lost and seek a therapist with both clinical expertise and personal experience. Facing these deeply distressing experiences alone can be isolating and helpless. Whether you're new to therapy or have had past experiences that felt too clinical, you may find yourself searching for something more meaningful and with lasting impact.

We will grow into integrating these capacities in ways that work for you in your current life.

Somatic & mindfulness practices help to deepen self-compassion and a connection to your Inner spirit.
I help people enjoy life more instead of trying to be everything for everybody. This means reducing distractions, setting healthy boundaries and tuning into what's most important to you. We may have learned from a young age to put the needs of others over our own or experienced trauma, abandonment or other stressful experiences growing up. Connecting with and healing our inner child can bring surprising results. Giving that vulnerable part of us permission to make different choices, to do what makes us happy is sometimes all that is needed. I facilitate this deep inner work through hypnotherapy and guided meditative techniques.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
