Coming Home to the Body:
Somatic Healing and Therapy in NY
When we’ve lived through trauma, chronic stress, or disconnection, the body often becomes a place of tension or distance — something to manage rather than inhabit. Yet your body is wise. It remembers what your mind may have forgotten and carries the key to your healing.
My work centers on somatic therapy, where I support you in gently reconnecting with your body, regulating your nervous system, and feeling safe enough to feel again. Through mindfulness, breath, and embodied awareness, we create space for your natural intelligence to lead the way toward healing and wholeness.
Healing unfolds at the pace of your body: one breath, one sensation, one moment at a time.
Together, we’ll explore how your body communicates through sensation, movement, and emotion.
You’ll learn to:
Release patterns of protection and holding
Reconnect with intuition, vitality, and aliveness
Build capacity for safety, connection, and emotional regulation
Strengthen your ability to set boundaries and express needs
-
In somatic therapy, we listen to the body — to sensation, breath, emotion, and nervous system responses — as pathways into understanding and integration. Rather than analyzing or fixing, we slow down and cultivate curiosity, allowing disowned or protective parts to be met with compassion and care. Over time, this process supports greater self-trust, emotional freedom, and a sense of wholeness.
-
When appropriate, I incorporate Attachment-Focused EMDR to support the reprocessing of memories that continue to shape your relationships and sense of self. EMDR is always guided by the body’s readiness and used in service of integration — helping soften old patterns, repair internal attachment dynamics, and create space for new relational possibilities.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a compassionate framework for understanding the inner parts that hold trauma, protection, and resilience. Combined with mindfulness and somatic awareness, this approach supports self-leadership, emotional balance, and integration of shadow material with curiosity rather than judgment.
-
Shadow work invites us to gently bring light to the parts of ourselves we’ve learned to keep in the dark — emotions, needs, impulses, or ways of being that once felt unsafe or unwelcome. These hidden aspects are often shaped by trauma, attachment wounds, and lived experience, and they carry important information about what we’ve needed to survive.
-
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) combines the therapeutic use of ketamine with somatic, trauma-informed psychotherapy to support healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, and entrenched patterns that may not respond to traditional therapy alone.
In KAP, altered states of consciousness can soften rigid defenses and create access to emotions, memories, and parts of the self that are often difficult to reach. My approach to KAP is grounded, relational, and body-centered, supporting nervous system regulation and integration before, during, and after ketamine sessions.
-
For those working with ketamine therapy, plant medicine, or spiritual experiences, I offer grounded, trauma-informed integration support. Together, we explore what has emerged — including shadow material — and translate insight into embodied, sustainable growth that can be lived and felt in everyday life.
My Approach
Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other” don't make any sense.
