Have you been trying to do things differently but it does not seem to be working? Are you feeling as though despite how hard you try you cannot seem to convince yourself that things are fine or to stop the racing thoughts. Are you finding that no matter how many times you keep telling yourself "it's fine", "you're ok" or "that things are gonna get better", it does nothing to alleviate your distress or the intensity of your emotions? Have you tried therapy before and it does not seem to be doing anything? If any of this sounds familiar, a somatic based approach may be helpful. Targeting the nervous system can start to bring about unity between the brain and body making change feel more accessible. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, board registered Art Therapist, a graduate of Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing training program and served as the DBT clinical lead at a state hospital. Throughout my 16 year career in mental health I have been focused on supporting individuals to work through trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, loss and to increase their overall wellbeing. Through my varied training and experience I have come to an approach that combines traditional evidenced based treatments with image and sensation exploration to be able to abstract the meaning, latent belief systems and energy that can keep us stuck. We will work together to bring more balance in both your internal and external world, to increase your confidence and over all well being. Some of the work we do together may involve practical skills that can support symptom alleviation and other work may involve discovering and tracking energy and emotions within the body that may be holding you back from being able to make changes. My goal is to help your brain and body feel more aligned and less at odds with one another. To find ways to not only tell yourself to feel better but to actually experience relief from painful emotions or paralyzing numbness. FREE CONSULTATION I offer a free 15minute consultation to see if working together would be a good fit for your current needs. Please feel comfortable reaching out if you think my approach would support you on your healing journey. There is no pressure or obligation to start services during a consultation.
