Services
Somatic Psychotherapy
Somatic psychotherapy combines body awareness and psychological techniques to address trauma, anxiety, and emotional patterns. This approach helps clients release stored tension, improve self-awareness, and heal pre-verbal trauma through co-regulating touch, movement, and mindfulness. Ideal for those seeking holistic healing beyond traditional talk therapy.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy focuses on improving communication, intimacy, and trust using somatic and attachment-based methods. Sessions explore relational dynamics, conflict resolution, and conscious uncoupling for diverse relationship configurations. Designed for couples seeking deeper connection or navigating transitions like open relationships or divorce.
Trauma Resolution
Trauma resolution employs somatic experiencing and co-regulating touch to address complex trauma and early attachment wounds. This therapy repairs disrupted physiology, reduces chronic pain, and integrates traumatic memories through body-centered techniques, fostering safety and self-regulation for lasting recovery.
Therapist Supervision
Supervision offers therapists guidance in somatic methods, licensing preparation, and clinical skill development. Tailored for interns and licensed professionals seeking to deepen their practice, enhance couples therapy techniques, or transition to full-time private practice with expert support.
Mindfulness Training
Mindfulness training teaches clients to cultivate present-moment awareness through yoga, meditation, and iRest Yoga Nidra. This practice reduces anxiety, improves emotional regulation, and strengthens the mind-body connection, empowering individuals to live with greater clarity and purpose.
