Somatic Embodied Psychotherapy

My Approach

Somatic & Embodied Psychotherapy

Somatic and embodied psychotherapy integrates traditional talk therapy with awareness of the body, emotions, and nervous system. This "bottom-up" approach invites us to notice the felt sense of the body; the sensations and experiences that can offer insight beyond our thoughts alone. 

We are often taught to focus on the external aspects of our lives while paying less attention to what is happening within us. Somatic practices bring us back into relationship with our bodies, helping us recognize patterns, old beliefs, and stories that may no longer serve us. Through greater embodied awareness, we can deepen our understanding of ourselves and become more aligned with how we want to feel, think, act, and move through our lives.

Inner Relationship Focusing

Inner Relationship Focusing is a gentle, body-centered practice that helps clients develop a compassionate relationship with their inner experiences. By bringing awareness to the felt sense of the body, clients can listen more deeply to emotions, sensations, and parts of themselves that may be difficult to access through thought alone. This process can be integrated into psychotherapy to support greater self-awareness, understanding, and compassion.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Mindfulness therapy brings awareness to the present moment while encouraging a nonjudgmental relationship with thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Practices such as mindfulness meditation, body scans, and gentle movement may be incorporated to help clients recognize patterns and develop greater awareness of the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be holding them back.
