Meeting ourselves deeply means we'll go through some of the deepest, darkest places of our humanity together. We'll grieve, witness our deepest fears, cry, hold sacred rage, and experience the parts of ourselves longing to be met. It also means we'll learn how to take in and experience the sweetest, best parts of life. We'll learn how to allow ourselves to access the good and then we'll learn how to take it all in; the joy, belly laughs, silliness, play, delight and connection. We'll hold these all of pieces as parts of the greater whole of ourselves. 

I know first-hand the devastating effects of developmental and shock trauma. I know how exhausting and overwhelming it can be to continue to try to put one foot in front of the other, day after day, just to continue to feel overwhelmed and hopeless. And I know, that much of my journey would have been impossible alone, without the help of loving healers. I feel very deeply in my soul we are not meant to live through experiences alone - we are made for healing and we are designed to deeply feel like we belong.

Somatic Psychotherapy is similar to other traditional talk therapies, however, one of the beautiful aspects of somatic work is that we attune to our bodies. We give them space to explore, breathe, talk, and express their deepest needs and find ways to love ourselves wholly and unashamedly. We slowly find ways to meet our deepest physiological needs. We find ways to truly make each hard, complicated, confused part of ourselves feel welcome and at home. Trauma healing can be tender, full of big emotions, and occasionally intense, but it can also be incredibly sweet, and relieving to finally begin to create and settle into the home waiting for you inside yourself.
