Individual Therapy
Supporting change from the inside out
You are more than the symptoms, diagnoses, or labels you may have come to identify with.
They do not define who you are; rather, they may represent parts of your experience that invite deeper understanding. As an existential somatic therapist, I practice from the belief that the meaning we make of our experiences influences how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. By exploring both the stories we tell ourselves and the ways those experiences are expressed through the body, we develop a deeper understanding of the patterns shaping our lives.
Change doesn’t come from insight alone; rather, it is through this understanding that we learn to disrupt old patterns with corrective experiences and new ways of moving forward.
Understanding these patterns begins with recognizing the unique role that your mind, body, emotions, and sense of self each play in shaping your experiences.
Your Internal Guiding System
The Interpreter and Protector
Our mind acts as an interpreter of our experiences and overall protector of our being. It shapes our perceptions, thoughts, and beliefs. Developing self-awareness and flexibility in our thinking helps us to engage with life more intentionally.
The Vessel and Communicator
Our body acts as a vessel and communicator, carrying the imprint of our experiences through physical sensations, pain, and fatigue. By listening to these, we gain insight into what may be asking for our attention and where change may be needed.
The Messenger of Unmet Needs
Our emotions act as messengers, providing insight into our needs and experiences. They each serve a purpose, drawing our attention to something important that needs to be acknowledged and understood. Developing emotional awareness strengthens our relationship with ourselves and others.
The Anchor of Meaning and Connection
The self represents our essence, where our values and inner wisdom reside. It helps us discern what is important and make choices that align with who we are. When we are not in alignment with what is important, we may experience a sense of disconnection or uncertainty. Strengthening this connection helps us experience greater meaning.
