Approach
Somatic Therapy & Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Including the body as a full partner in the conversation — because your body has been holding the story too.
Why the body
Trauma lives below language.
Much of what trauma does happens in the nervous system, not in the storyline. Somatic work helps us listen to that layer — sensation, impulse, breath, posture — with curiosity rather than alarm.
What sessions feel like
Slower, more spacious.
We might pause on a small sensation, follow an impulse to your best defense that never got to complete, or resource in a felt sense of safety. Nothing dramatic — and nothing you don't consent to.
Common questions
What people ask.
- Do I have to move a lot?
- No. Somatic work is about noticing, not performing. Sometimes the smallest gesture is the most important.
- How is this different from talk therapy?
- We include the body as a full partner in the conversation — because your body has been holding the story too.
- Is this the same as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?
- Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is one somatic tradition I work within. I draw on it alongside other somatic and trauma-focused approaches.
