Relational Somatic Therapy in California
for creatives, deep feelers, and queer folks
navigating trauma, burnout, or the ache of disconnection.

Why Somatic Therapy?
Trauma Recovery
When something overwhelming happens, the body holds what the mind can't process. Trauma lives in our nervous system long after the event has passed—shaping how we respond to stress, connection, and even rest. In our work together, we approach trauma gently, at the pace your body can integrate, helping you find safety again from the inside out.
Emotional Regulation
Emotions aren't problems to solve—they're information. But when feelings arrive too fast, too big, or seemingly out of nowhere, it can be hard to trust them. Somatic therapy helps you build capacity to be with your emotions without being overwhelmed by them, developing a steadier ground to stand on.
Mind-Body Connection
We often live from the neck up, disconnected from the signals our body is sending. Somatic work invites you back into relationship with your whole self—learning to read the language of sensation, tension, and impulse. This isn't about thinking differently; it's about feeling your way toward what's true.
Relational Healing
Our earliest wounds happen in relationship, in the space between child and caregiver. They shape how we connect for years afterward. Relational Somatic Healing goes to the source: the body, the nervous system, the lived experience of connection. We create a new, lived experience of secure connection that can transform how you relate to yourself, others, and the world. Healing happens beyond words, through the felt sense of being truly met.
Stress Relief
Stress settles into the body over time. It lives in the jaw, the shoulders, the breath. Somatic therapy goes to the source, working with your nervous system to help it settle, release, and restore. We're building resilience, a body that knows how to find its way back to calm.
