Somatic Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

*Online Therapy in Florida and Illinois*

You may have tried talk therapy, and while it helped, it didn’t fully address what you’re going through. You’re ready for real change in how you deal with constant stress, fear, and emotional overwhelm. Avoiding tough situations, worrying about what others think, and feeling out of control in both your body and emotions are holding you back from living the life you want.

It doesn’t have to stay this way.

With somatic therapy, like Somatic Experiencing and Safe and Sound Protocol, we’ll work to reduce your anxiety, ease physical tension and pain, and help you feel more confident and grounded in yourself and your life.

My goal is to help you feel more grounded and secure, so you can confidently face challenges like hard conversations, adult responsibilities, and conflicts, and find more joy in your relationships and activities.

If you’re ready to feel more confident and navigate life with greater ease, schedule a free 20-minute consultation today.

Holistic Healing for Anxiety, Trauma, and Chronic Pain

  • Overcoming the Weight of Anxiety

    Constant fears and worries can feel overwhelming, showing up as tightness in your chest, knots in your stomach, and relentless restlessness.

    Mind-body therapy helps release that tension, so you can feel more confident—whether speaking up, making decisions, or enjoying the moment.

  • Breaking Free from Trauma's Hold

    When trauma lingers, it can leave you feeling triggered by situations that bring up old pain. You might shut down or react in ways that feel out of control, often without knowing why.

    Your past doesn’t have to dictate your life—there’s a way forward toward more peace and stability.

  • Easing Chronic Pain and Reclaiming Life

    Chronic pain can leave you disconnected from the life you once loved, avoiding activities out of fear it will worsen. It’s frustrating and keeps you stuck.

    Somatic therapy calms your nervous system’s response to stress, emotional triggers, and pain, helping release tension and discomfort.

Find Relief with Somatic Therapy

A body-based approach to healing the stress and tension stored in your nervous system, which talk therapy may not always fully resolve. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming emotions, chronic pain, or the lasting effects of trauma, somatic therapy helps you reconnect with your body and regain control.

You can choose Somatic Experiencing, Safe and Sound Protocol, or both to reset your nervous system and move forward with more confidence and ease.

    Somatic Experiencing

    Somatic Experiencing (SE) is the foundation of my work, focusing on releasing the trauma and stress your body holds onto. By working with physical sensations, we help calm your nervous system, reduce triggers, and ease the effects of past experiences.

    Safe and Sound Protocol

    Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) uses specialized music to help relax your nervous system and ease hypervigilance. Even if you’re only doing SSP, you'll receive an SE-informed approach to support your healing. This therapy targets the vagus nerve, helping you feel more grounded, connected, and less reactive to stress and anxiety.
