Chronic Pain Therapy
Your body isn't broken. It has been carrying a story. Together, we create the safety needed for healing.
By the time people find me, they've often spent years searching for answers,
they've often already been through countless appointments, scans, and tests. Sometimes everything comes back "normal." Other times they've received one or more diagnoses. Yet despite all the testing and treatments there still isn't a clear answer that truly explains their pain or why they continue to suffer. The explanations may keep coming, but the pain, anxiety, or chronic patterns often remain.
Understanding what is happening is important, but understanding alone doesn't always create healing. Being named isn't the same as being met. A diagnosis can provide clarity, but it doesn't necessarily help the nervous system feel safe enough to let go of the patterns it's been holding.
I don't replace medical care—in fact, I often work alongside physicians, therapists, and other healthcare providers. My approach is simply different. Rather than trying to fix the body or analyze the mind, I work with the connection between the two.
I believe your body holds an innate wisdom. It knows how to move toward healing when it's met with safety, gentleness, curiosity, and trust. Together, we create the conditions that allow your nervous system to soften, your body to feel supported, and long-held patterns to begin releasing at their own pace.
This work isn't about fixing what's wrong with you. It's about helping you reconnect with your body's natural capacity for healing so lasting change has the opportunity to take root.
What is Therapeutic Somatic Work?
Somatics uses the powerful link between the mind and body. You are more than your thoughts! Much of how we experience the world, ourselves, and our relationships is through our physicality. Somatic sessions bring the body into the healing process. Combining the body with the felt sense, and psychoeducation allows access to previously unreachable material. This holistic process can allow for a deeper connection with your inner self and stimulate your body’s natural ability to heal.
My approach blends:
Body-aware somatic techniques
Mindfulness & breath work
Nervous system regulation
Somatic processing between the mind and body
Craniosacral Therapy
Gentle Energetic Movement
Inner World Exploration
Psychoeducation
This is not just talking about your experiences — it’s working with what’s still living in your body.
Who This Supports
You might be ready for this work if you experience:
Persistent anxiety, tension, or panic despite talk therapy or medication
Chronic pain that doesn’t respond to treatment
Substance Use Disorder despite traditional treatment
You don’t have to figure out all your thoughts first. We start with your body and nervous system.
Why Somatic Work Matters
Often, the reason traditional approaches don’t reach lasting change is because the nervous system still feels unsafe. When your body is aroused or holding tension, it’s harder to access clarity, connection, or peace. Through body awareness, mindfulness, breath, and movement, the work becomes more experiential.
Somatic work helps you:
Regulate your nervous system rather than just cope
Increase felt safety in your body
Build resilience and capacity over time
Strengthen the connection and compassion felt towards your inner self
