Somatic Experiencing

(SE)™

In my practice, I recognize that life can bring challenges that affect us not just emotionally, but also physically. Somatic Experiencing (SE)™ is a gentle, body-based therapy designed to help you address the impacts of stress, shock, and trauma that may be stored in your body and nervous system. This approach has been found to be particularly beneficial for those dealing with PTSD, complex developmental trauma, or relational trauma.

Trauma is a part of the human experience—it's something we all encounter in different forms. What’s important is how we navigate those experiences recognizing that we have supportive options for relief. Somatic Experiencing (SE)™ provides a framework to help you move beyond retained patterns of fight, flight, and freeze. By working with the sensations in your body, SE™ empowers you to release the energy that may be trapped from past overwhelming experiences, fostering resilience and ease in your daily rhythm.

As stated by Somatic Experiencing International, this approach facilitates the completion of these responses and the release of bound survival energy. By addressing the root causes of your trauma symptoms, we can work towards restoring balance and harmony in your life. Life is not meant for merely surviving, life is meant for a vibrant dynamic experience.

In our sessions, together we’ll create a connected and nurturing space where you can tune into your nervous system and your felt sense. Together, we’ll welcome whatever arises, guiding you gently through your unique healing process. As you learn to listen to your body, you’ll naturally develop a greater tolerance for difficult sensations and expression of suppressed emotions. This can be a subtle and expansive journey, helping you complete the self-protective responses that may have been interrupted in the past.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Our collaborative work will support you in developing a richer depth of your body’s wisdom, allowing you to navigate your experiences with greater clarity and compassion. Together, we can walk a path toward healing that honors your sovereignty and fosters lasting change.

If you’re ready to explore the healing of Somatic Experiencing, I’m here to lend a support.

Develop a deeper understanding of your body’s wisdom.
