Bringing the Body
into Therapy

I work with:

  • Trauma and Stress Responses: Fight, Flight, Freeze (and fawn). 

  • The emotional side of body symptoms

  • Becoming more attuned to the needs of the emotional body

  • Accessing and reorienting to embodied relief, peace, and comfort

​

I have led trauma-informed yoga support groups for women, and focused my graduate studies on body-based therapies for sexual trauma. However, body-based therapy can be helpful for all kinds of trauma.

​

Some clients are called to this process because movement and body awareness can feel less overwhelming than conceptualizing "what happened," while others may have a sense of feeling physically disconnected from themselves, and want to come back.

​

Working with the body can also help one develop coping tools to access and return to peace before verbally processing unresolved pain.​​​

Did you know that universal emotions such as fear, sadness and happiness activate specific areas of the body?

Individual therapy of course will follow a different structure, and generally involves conversation, while integrating a body focus when applicable for the individual's needs.
