Somatic means pertaining to the body. We live in a very thinking-focused culture, we do a lot of analyzing, figuring-out, and explaining, often neglecting the body and emotions. Interestingly, emotions are felt in the body before they are named and made sense of by our thinking minds.

Our bodies are sensitive, important parts of who we are that often get left out. In our work together, we will include your body. From breathing, to moving, to letting your body be heard. Your body is wise and has much to tell us.

Attachment has to do with emotional bonds and connections between people. There is a vast body of research on this topic and how it relates to psychotherapy. To boil it down, how we show-up in the world in relationship to each other is important. It is in that space where two people meet that so much of our past, our patterns, our pain, and our ways of getting by in life can be seen and explored.

To best support you, I will foster a genuine relationship between us and will be paying attention our interaction to help me get to know you and your ways of managing in life.
