Somatic Therapy for Trauma in Sacramento, CA and virtually throughout California and Texas

Real healing for your mind, body, and soul.

It is not just all in your head.

You have been through some painful and hard things like broken relationships, sudden losses, something that took away your sense of safety, toxic work environments, or family struggles. Even though you know that trauma doesn’t define you it keeps showing up in your patterns, your relationships, your life, your work. You love when you have these moments of being your most real, compassionate, whole, and centered self. You love those moments where you are present, connected, and fully engaged in your life. Trauma seems to keep those moments few and far between. All of the coping skills, thinking your way through it, trying to calm yourself down, and more just isn’t enough and it is getting exhausting. You try to tell yourself “They are just thoughts.” “It is all in my head.”

Trauma leaves a lasting impact on the mind and the body so healing trauma needs to address all parts of you.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You struggle with any situation where you are not in control, whether it is a group outing or a life transition, and you just can’t relax and enjoy the moment.

  • You get in a perfectly healthy disagreement with a friend or partner but your heart starts racing, you feel panicked, and you shut down or blow up.

  • You want to try new things and take meaningful risks but it is like there is this constant barrier that holds you back and keeps you second guessing yourself.

  • You get a meeting request from your supervisor at work and automatically get thrown into a tornado of stress and worry and thoughts of all the ways you might have messed up.

  • You avoid certain relationships, places, and opportunities that could be beautiful and meaningful out of fear that you just can’t seem to place or get rid of.

  • After something stressful happens (even something small) it takes forever to calm down and you are exhausted afterwards.

Trauma shows up as racing thoughts, automatic reactions that you just can’t seem to control, trouble in relationships, and missed opportunities and it also shows up as a racing heart, shallow breathing, stomach aches, and tense muscles. Healing trauma transforms the way that we show up in life, relationships, work, our minds, and our bodies.

Imagine Realizing That…

for the past few weeks you’ve been experiencing more peace that ever and you haven’t had to force it. Imagine being able to make choices, seize opportunities, embrace new experiences, and connect deeply and authentically with the people you love. Imagine living in ways that are intentional and aligned with your values,  with less fear and more openness, less instability and more freedom.

Most importantly, you can find the stability, safety, and resources you need to do all these things naturally, within yourself. You can learn to work with your nervous system, nurture yourself in meaningful ways, and retrain the way that you respond to the challenges of life. 

You can create the space you need to live a fully engaged life that isn’t run by triggers and automatic reactions but by intention and compassion.

  • Learn to Understand Your Nervous System

    Your nervous systems talks to you in many ways. One important way is through sensations or feelings that show up in the body. Through somatic therapy you learn how to pay attention to sensations in the body and explore what they are trying to tell you.

  • Get Grounded

    When you are triggered, thinking your way our of it often isn’t an option. Learn practices for brining you mind back to the present moment using movement and your senses.

  • Reprocess and Transform

    Your nervous systems wants to heal and fully process trauma so that it can become a source of resilience, peace, or growth. Through EMDR and the Trauma Resiliency Model we give the mind the space it needs to do this work and create calm, safety, and sensations of wellbeing.

  • Tap into Wellbeing

    With new skills and practices in place, I support you in processing triggers, memories, and experiences in a new and more empowering way that can transform the role trauma plays in your life and help to free you to focus on what matters most.
