Somatic therapy in Colorado and North Carolina
Your body knows the way back to you.
Move beyond the limits of talk therapy. Experience somatic healing and relational depth in Boulder, CO, and throughout North Carolina.
You know your story by heart. You can explain your past, your patterns, and your triggers with perfect clarity. Yet the "clench" in your jaw and the weight in your chest remain.
True transformation happens when your nervous system finally has the space for your intellect to land and take root in your body. Whether we meet in my Boulder office or via telehealth in North Carolina, our work goes beyond "talking about" the pain. We listen to the language of your body to unwind old survival patterns and create a genuine, felt sense of ease.
You’ve intellectualized your healing long enough.
"It's the relationship that heals"
-Irvin Yalom
A space for the compassionate achiever.
You spend your life caring for others, creating, or leading, but you often feel disconnected from your own internal world. You are "good at therapy," yet you still struggle with boundary confusion, attachment wounds, or a lingering sense of "not enough."
This work is designed for you if you:
Identify as a creative, a therapist, a healer, a leader, or highly sensitive person.
Feel "stuck" in loops of anxiety, grief, or chronic self-criticism.
Crave deeper intimacy but find yourself self-abandoning to get it.
Want to trade "performing" for a real sense of belonging.
How we work together
I integrate Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Relational Therapy to help you inhabit your life fully.
Physiological Resilience: We track your nervous system in real-time. You’ll learn to navigate stress and discomfort without shutting down or boiling over.
Internal Harmony: We get curious about your "parts": the critics, the achievers, and the ones carrying old wounds. This is so they can finally stop fighting for control.
Relational Freedom: We repair the way you relate to yourself and others. You’ll learn to claim your boundaries and express your needs without the weight of shame.
Find Out More About:
-
Most therapy asks you to talk about what happened. Somatic therapy asks you to notice what's happening right now — in your chest, your breath, your nervous system. This is where real change lives.
-
You are not one thing. The part of you that wants to heal and the part that keeps self-sabotaging are both trying to protect you — they just don't know how to stop fighting. IFS helps you lead from the calm, grounded core underneath all of it.
-
When relationships feel unsafe, your nervous system responds before your mind does. EFT gets underneath the surface arguments to find what's actually driving disconnection — and helps you build the kind of secure attachment that makes intimacy feel possible.
“This is your body, your greatest gift, pregnant with wisdom you do not hear, grief you thought was forgotten, and joy you have never known.”
-Marion Woodman
