Somatic Trauma Therapy
in Berkeley, CA
Offering In-Person & Virtual Therapy in California
You may have spent years trying to understand yourself, yet find that certain patterns, emotions, or relationships continue to leave you feeling stuck. Perhaps you know why you feel the way you do, but knowing hasn't been enough to create the change you're longing for.
Together, we can move beyond insight alone, bringing curiosity and compassion to the ways your experiences live in both mind and body. As you explore familiar patterns and discover new possibilities, you can begin to make more room for freedom, connection, and aliveness in your life.
Perhaps you recognize yourself here . . .
You rarely feel completely at ease — but you've lived this way for so long that you may not even realize something is missing.
You carry a persistent feeling that something is wrong with you — even when you know intellectually that you're worthy of love and acceptance, it's difficult to feel that truth within yourself.
You feel alone even in the company of people who love you — longing to be understood and deeply connected, yet finding it difficult to let others truly know you.
You sometimes feel disconnected from your body or your own experience — going through life on autopilot, struggling to recognize what you feel or need, or finding it difficult to be fully present.
Your past seems to follow you in ways you can't quite explain — shaping your reactions, relationships, and choices, sometimes through patterns passed down through generations.
Something happened that changed the way you see yourself or the world — and even though life has moved forward, something in you hasn't quite returned to how it was before.
You're navigating grief, loss, or a significant life transition — and the old ways of being no longer feel right, even as you're unsure who you're becoming or what comes next.
You're going through the motions, but something feels missing — you've lost touch with the joy, creativity, spontaneity, or sense of aliveness that makes life feel meaningful.
