Individual Therapy

The truth is that trauma and codependency have their impacts on your mind, body, and relationships, so if you have been in talk therapy and feeling a bit stuck, somatic psychotherapy may be a great fit for you. With the somatic approach, we are going beyond talking and bringing your felt sensations into the room and discovering the opportunities there for healing.

Couples Therapy

When we are working on healing your partnership in couples therapy, it is important to understand that each couple is going to have their own balance of dependency and autonomy. When this becomes unbalanced (codependency), the relationship suffers breaches in trust, communication breakdowns, and continues to stay in patterns that are no longer serving the relationship.

Throughout my 7 years in the field of somatic psychotherapy, I have developed my experience supporting adults and couples/partnerships with navigating addiction recovery, trauma, LGBTQ+, infidelity, codependency, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and communication skills.

I have continued to witness that bringing your body, its memories, and sensations into your healing process is crucial. If we are not engaging your body in the therapeutic process then we are not looking at the root of many emotional issues from a holistic perspective.

So if you’d like to give a body-based (somatic) approach to healing trauma and breaking patterns of codependency, reach out today and let’s book a free 20 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit to work together!
