Somatic Psychotherapy for Trauma Survivors

In person and online therapy in St. Louis / Missouri

Does your past still haunt you? Perhaps you've been in an abusive situation, and you’re building a new life, but you struggle with the echoes that interfere with your world now. Your emotions are all over the place, you check out or shut down, and it doesn’t quite make sense to you or to those around you. The internal chaos is sometimes invisible to others, but the pain is real and you feel isolated and alone. You want to learn how to climb out of this but don’t know how.

Counseling for Nervous System Dysregulation and Flashbacks

Sound familiar? Imagine being able to get off the emotional roller coaster, connect to and understand yourself better, and stay present more. Picture standing up for yourself and sleeping peacefully at night. Embrace a future in which you trust yourself to set and keep boundaries that honor you while helping you have authentic connection with others.

Somatic therapy can heal complex trauma

Have you heard that trauma memories are stored in the body? Bottom-up approaches help you do more than simply think your way beyond trauma. As a somatic psychotherapist, I am uniquely qualified to help you get to this new reality, using a blended approach to help you heal and manage the automatic responses so that they don’t rule your life.

Don't want to do somatic work? That's ok too! I am skilled and experienced in a range of evidence-based processes that can help. Read About Me for more info.
