Therapy that is somatic, relational, experiential, and transformative
My practice provides therapy meant to help clients get unstuck from whatever life issues bring them to therapy by using modalities that facilitate awareness and change. They do this by helping clients access, process, and release deep emotions through direct experience. Unlike more traditional talk therapies, these modalities emphasize the emotional and sensory experience, allowing the client to engage in therapeutic techniques that can tap into their subconscious or past traumas in a more embodied way. For a client, this type of therapy can feel like a journey into their inner world, marked by moments of vulnerability, discovery, and emotional release.
“The impulse to heal is real and powerful, and lies within the client. Our job is to evoke that healing power, to meet its tests and needs and to support it in its expression and development. We are not healers. We are the context in which healing is inspired.”
Ron Kurtz, Body-Centered Psychotherapy
Typical Client Issues…
Clients who are entering a new phase of life and are struggling with identity issues, marriage/parenthood, separation/divorce, feelings of shame/inadequacy, struggling with uncertainty or feeling a lack of control.
Clients who struggle with being flexible or going with the flow and who would like to be more spontaneous and playful. Clients who struggle with social anxiety, or who tend to focus on others needs more than their own.
Clients who fear being rejected by others, who’d rather tell themselves they are fine being alone than face the struggles that come with trying to find connection.
Clients struggling with anxiety, having sleepless nights because they are facing some challenge in life that leaves them asking, “What do I do now?” and are unable to find an answer.
Clients who feel disillusioned by politics and the state of the world. Clients feeling the impacts of discrimination, trauma, violence, neglect. Clients feeling like they have no place in the world or that their entire life has felt like trying to swim upstream.
Bonus points if these clients are also neurodivergent and/or LGBTQIA+!
