Somatic Therapy for Women Ready to Find Themselves Again

For thoughtful, capable women who are tired of holding everything together and ready to reconnect with themselves.

Somewhere along the way, you stopped asking yourself what you need.

You notice what people need before they ask. You think ahead, carry a lot, and genuinely care about the people in your life. Somewhere along the way, you may have gotten so good at taking care of everyone else that you slowly stopped noticing yourself.

From the outside, your life might look like it's working. But inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying so much for so long.

Maybe you've done therapy before. You understand your patterns. You know where they came from. But when you're stressed, overwhelmed, or in conflict, you still find yourself reacting in ways that don't feel like the person you want to be.

Over time, many of the women I work with realize they aren't just struggling with anxiety or perfectionism. They're exhausted from trying to hold everything together while quietly leaving themselves out of the equation.

You don't have to stop caring about the people you love. You just don't have to lose yourself while doing it.

That's where our work begins.

Why you still feel stuck

One of the hardest parts about this kind of work is that insight often isn't enough.

You can understand why you respond the way you do and still find yourself reacting the same way when you're overwhelmed.

That isn't because you're failing.

It's because your nervous system learned certain ways of surviving long before you had words for what was happening.

Our brains are wired for survival, not happiness. If understanding your patterns was enough to change them, you probably wouldn't be here.

Therapy becomes a place to slow down, understand what your nervous system has been trying to protect you from, and discover that you have more choice than you may realize.

What therapy with me looks like

We'll talk. We'll laugh. We’ll cuss. Sometimes I’ll bring patterns up I notice. Sometimes I'll ask the tough and hard questions. Sometimes we will disagree. Sometimes we'll sit quietly. Sometimes we'll notice what's happening in your body before we make sense of it.

For all of my fellow intellectualizers—I get it. I'm one of you. We don't have to stop thinking. We'll simply invite your body into the conversation, too.

Rather than asking, "What's wrong with me?" we'll begin asking, "What happened that taught my body to respond this way?"

Together we might:

Notice sensations, emotions, or impulses that your body has been trying to communicate.
Understand why certain patterns or relationships keep repeating.
Learn to recognize your own needs with the same care you've given everyone else.
Build more trust in yourself instead of constantly second-guessing yourself.
Process experiences that still feel unfinished.
Practice staying connected to yourself while staying connected to the people you love.

I draw from Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-conscious yoga. These approaches simply give us different ways to understand your experience—they're never more important than the relationship we build together.

My approach

I don't believe you're broken, I don’t believe you are lazy, crazy, unmotivated, or even bad and I'm not interested in fixing you.

I believe your mind and body adapted in ways that helped you survive. Together, we'll approach those adaptations with curiosity instead of criticism, moving at a pace that feels manageable for your nervous system.

I tend to work best with women who are looking for more than a place to vent. Many of my clients have already done therapy and are ready for something different—something that creates change not just in how they think, but in how they experience themselves.

I won't promise quick fixes. What I can offer is a warm, collaborative space where you don't have to perform, have all the answers, or keep holding everything together.

If you're ready to reconnect with yourself and build a life that feels more like your own, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
