When Holding It All Together Starts Falling Apart
You’re tired all the time, but your mind won’t slow down. Your chest feels tight, your stomach’s in knots, and no matter how much you try to keep it together, something inside just feels off. Maybe you’ve been through something hard, or maybe life has just been relentless, and now even the smallest things feel overwhelming. You try to push through, but the truth is, your body is screaming for relief.
You might be someone who always shows up for others. The caretaker. The achiever. The one who has it together. But inside, you feel disconnected from yourself. You’re not sleeping, you're anxious more than not, and it’s been so long since you actually felt peace.
With support, Somatic Mindfulness Therapy offers a space to reconnect with yourself, emotionally and physically, so you can begin to feel whole again.
Reconnect with yourself through body-based therapy
What is Somatic Mindfulness Therapy?
Somatic Mindfulness Therapy blends gentle body awareness techniques with present-moment mindfulness. It’s a body-based approach that helps you reconnect with what your body is telling you, so you can stop living in constant fight, flight, or freeze. This therapy works by helping you notice and respond to the signals your body sends, especially those linked to trauma, stress, or emotional pain.
In sessions, we use breath work, grounding, safe movement, and nervous system regulation tools to gently process stuck emotions and release physical tension. This work isn’t about digging into your pain all at once. It’s about going slowly, staying present, and helping your body feel safe again. Many people feel a shift within weeks, sleeping better, feeling calmer, more in control, and like they’re finally coming back to themselves.
Why Choose Me as Your Somatic Mindfulness Therapist?
Stress, anxiety, and trauma can show up in your body long before you find the words. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or like you’re carrying more than you can handle. Therapy can help you slow down, feel supported, and finally begin to feel like yourself again.

You Deserve a Therapist Who Sees You
I’m a licensed therapist with certifications in EMDR, Clinical Hypnosis, and Somatic practices. But more than that, I’ve lived through seasons of anxiety, caregiving, grief, and burnout. I’ve seen firsthand how trauma gets stuck in the body, and how powerful it is when we learn to listen to what our bodies are telling us instead of fighting it.
I’ve spent years supporting women and young adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that don’t serve them. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and safe. I won’t push you faster than you’re ready. My role is to guide you with curiosity, compassion, and a sense of partnership, so you can reconnect with yourself, release what no longer serves you, and begin to feel peace again.

Your Body Remembers What You Try to Forget
Ignoring the Pain Doesn’t Make it go Away
When stress and trauma go unaddressed, they often don’t fade with time. They get stored in the body, draining your energy and robbing you of joy. Without support, you may find yourself stuck in cycles of burnout, anxiety, and disconnection. But with therapy, you can rebuild your inner sense of safety, process emotional pain in a gentle and effective way, and start feeling more present, peaceful, and fully alive again.

FAQs
FAQs About Somatic Mindfulness Therapy
How is somatic mindfulness therapy different from traditional talk therapy?
Instead of focusing only on your thoughts and words, this approach includes body-based awareness. We’ll explore how emotions show up physically and work with those signals to support healing.
What if I’m not comfortable with body-focused therapy?
That’s okay. We go at your pace. You’re in control of how deep we go and what we explore. Many clients find comfort in starting slow and building trust over time.
How soon will I feel results?
Some people notice changes within a few weeks—sleeping better, feeling calmer, or more in tune with themselves. Everyone’s experience is different, and there’s no rush.

Not at all. I’ll guide you through each step. You don’t need to have any background in mindfulness or somatic work to get started.
