A Pathway to Healing and Resilience
Somatic Therapy for Anxiety
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, isolating, and all-consuming. It might show up as racing thoughts, a constant sense of unease, difficulty focusing, or even physical sensations like tension, shortness of breath, or restlessness. If this sounds familiar, know that you’re not alone—and that healing is possible.
As a somatic therapist, I specialize in helping individuals move beyond the grip of anxiety by focusing on the connection between the mind and body.
Anxiety often resides in the nervous system, making it more than just a mental or emotional experience. Somatic therapy offers a unique, body-centered approach to calming the nervous system, building resilience, and fostering a sense of peace and balance.
How Somatic Therapy Can Help
Somatic therapy taps into the wisdom of your body. Anxiety often keeps the nervous system in a heightened state of alert, making it feel as though danger is always present—even when you’re safe. These patterns can feel difficult to break, especially if anxiety has been a long-term companion in your life.
With a compassionate and gentle approach, somatic therapy helps you:
Understand Your Triggers: Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your anxiety and how it shows up in your body.
Regulate Your Nervous System: You’ll practice grounding and calming techniques to bring your system back into balance during moments of stress.
Release Stored Tension: Anxiety often creates stored tension or energy in the body. We’ll work on safely releasing it through somatic exercises and mindfulness.
Build Resilience: Over time, you’ll gain tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and reduce the intensity of your anxiety.

Why Choose Somatic Therapy?
Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic therapy works with both the body and the mind. It recognizes that anxiety isn’t just something you think about—it’s something you feel in your body. By addressing this mind-body connection, somatic therapy can help unlock new possibilities for relief and lasting transformation that may not be accessible through talk therapy alone.
