What is Somatic and Trauma Informed Psychotherapy?

Trauma healing that supports your nervous system, not overwhelms it.

Trauma touches every layer of who we are — our thoughts, our emotions, our relationships, and our nervous system. My approach to trauma therapy honors the whole person: mind, body, soul, and the systems you move through.

I understand trauma not as a single event, but as experiences that can be overwhelming, prolonged, or repeated — shaping how you see yourself and the world. Trauma-informed care starts with acknowledging that what you’ve lived through matters, and that your reactions make sense.

In our work together, safety and trust come first. You are always in the driver’s seat of your healing. We move at your pace, gently exploring what feels ready to be understood or released. Instead of forcing change, we co-create space for your inner wisdom to lead.

Because trauma lives in the body as much as the mind, I incorporate somatic practices that help calm the nervous system, build regulation, and reconnect you with your inherent resilience. This may include grounding, breathwork, movement, mindfulness, or other body-based tools that support you in feeling more present and safe within yourself.

Every person’s story is different, and therapy should reflect that. Our work will be tailored to your needs, your identity, and what healing looks like for you. The goal isn’t just to reduce symptoms — it’s to help you reclaim connection, meaning, and the possibility of feeling at home in your life again.
