I work with people who want to feel more at home in their bodies, in their relationships, and in their lives.

Together, we practice sensing safety, tending to the nervous system, listening to the body, and meeting each other in the here and now.

This kind of relational somatic therapy might be for you if any of these statements feel true for you:

• you often feel like you are either “too much” or “not enough” in relationships and in life 

• you are longing to feel truly safe and truly yourself in your relationships

• you want to feel less shame and self-blame

• you have a self-critical or perfectionist inner monologue 

• maybe you’ve done a lot of self reflection, maybe you’ve even done a lot of therapy, but the intellectual understanding of “why” isn’t making you feel the way you hope to feel

• when you’ve accomplished a goal, you move the goal posts on yourself

• you often push through to the point of exhaustion

• you do identify or have identified with the labels: perfectionist, over-thinker, over-analyzer, intellectualizer, over-achiever, and/or people-pleaser

• you find it hard to know when it’s safe to stop, slow down, or rest 

• you feel deeply and have been told by yourself or others that you’re “too sensitive”

• you often don’t realize until after an interaction, when you’re alone, that something upset or bothered you

• it feels difficult to tell people when they’ve done something that has kicked up feelings of hurt or anger in you

• it feels like you had to grow up too fast

• you often feel overwhelmed or even surprised by your own emotions

• you can explain your emotional experience intellectually, but it can feel hard or scary to fully feel or express your emotions

• you are longing to feel less in your head and more in your body

• you are longing to feel more present and less stuck in the past or anxious about the future 

• you deeply desire relationship and connection, but you often feel lonely or missed in your relationships and connections 

• you feel different than everyone around you because of your emotional experience, sometimes you tell yourself “no one else feels this way”

• you feel like you often have to hide or mask your feelings or your differences to stay safe or stay in connection 

• you don’t want to acknowledge your needs because you’re afraid that they’re too big to be met

• you are afraid that if you were honest about what you wanted and needed in relationship, you would drive people away
