About

Sometimes life feels overwhelming. It can feel like we are fighting against unmovable forces or desperately treading water to stay afloat. Whether we zone out and lose energy, or become hyper anxious in response to our troubles, our nervous system takes over to protect us. When this happens we may find ourselves engaging in behaviors or thought patterns that aren't actually serving us, but keeping us stuck in a loop. Whether you are dealing with issues around anxiety, perfectionism, control, self-esteem, body image, relationships, co-dependency, boundary setting, trauma, stress, depression, or grief, somatic therapy can help.
