You're Not Alone
Does This Sound Familiar?
You wake up exhausted, even after a full night's sleep
Your mind races constantly, making it impossible to truly relax
You feel irritable and snap at the people you love most
Simple tasks feel overwhelming and insurmountable
You've lost touch with activities that once brought you joy
Physical symptoms like headaches, tension, or digestive issues have become your constant companions
Stress isn't just a mental experience—it lives in your body
Somatic therapy helps you release the accumulated tension stored in your nervous system, teaching you to recognize early warning signs and develop sustainable practices for regulation and resilience.
Understanding
What is Stress?
Stress is your body's way of mobilizing energy to face a challenge, whether it's a threat, a deadline, or a meaningful pursuit. It's normal—everyone experiences it, and your body is built to rise and then reset.
But chronic stress is different. It's waking up exhausted no matter how much you sleep. It's a mind that won't quiet, irritability that strikes unprovoked, or daily tasks that feel overwhelming. It's your body sending constant signals—headaches, tension, digestive issues—that something is off.
When this becomes your norm, your nervous system isn't just responding—it's stuck in overdrive. These aren't personal flaws. They're signs your system has been on high alert for too long.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about somatic work and how I can help.
How is somatic therapy different from traditional talk therapy for stress?
While talk therapy works primarily with thoughts and narratives, somatic therapy addresses stress at its root—in the body. We work with the physical sensations and nervous system patterns that keep stress locked in place, creating more immediate and lasting relief.
How quickly will I notice results?
Many clients experience some relief in the very first session. More lasting changes typically develop over 8-12 sessions as your nervous system learns new patterns of regulation.
I've tried everything for my stress. Will this be different?
If you've tried managing stress through willpower, medication, or purely cognitive approaches without lasting success, somatic therapy offers a fundamentally different approach. We work with your body's innate wisdom to create sustainable change.
What are your fees?
My fee is $175 per 60-minute session. Longer sessions are available and prorated accordingly. I reserve a limited number of sliding scale slots for individuals who need nervous system healing but face financial barriers. If cost is a concern, please reach out to discuss current availability. I don't accept insurance.
