Sensorimotor Psychotherapy focuses on addressing unresolved trauma.
As a result of trauma, a person’s brain can change. These changes can manifest themselves in physical and psychological issues. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy aims to treat the body to help heal the mind.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy uses physical sensation to address the connection with emotional responses in individuals with trauma.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy’s goal is for you to manage the physical sensations that arise when confronted by things that remind you of your trauma. It also seeks to connect the mind and body to help you regulate yourself after experiencing trauma.
Therapists Who Specialize in Using Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
I aim to create a safe space to collaboratively process trauma and work on issues such as anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship struggles, abuse, life and career concerns, and issues around identity and creative expression. I also specialize in helping people recover from coercive control and influence, including survivors of cultic abuse and high demand groups.
Clients typically come to me when some area of their life is not working well. This could be a new instance of something not working well, or it’s possible that something hasn’t been working well for a very long time. It could be a behavior, a relationship, a job, an attitude, a way of thinking or feeling, or it could be that the ways you used to cope are no longer working or serving you anymor...

My approach is relational and collaborative. I work with clients to build a space that is safe and connected enough to engage with the challenges that foster growth. We exist in context. I am passionate ab...
Like characters from our favorite stories, we often get stuck when we encounter obstacles on the journey toward who/where we want to be. Perhaps you’re at a stuck point. Perhaps you’re dealing with shame, self-doubt, traumatic stress, grief, anxiety, emotional imbalance, unstable relationships, or an outlook that only seems to be hurting you. I have some good news: “stuckness” doesn’t have to b...

The majority of people who come to see me are ready for change. Something in their life has stopped working. Something has become a barrier to happiness. Mostly, my clients are high achieving individuals who (to the outside world) look like they have it all together. Internally, they struggle with anxiety, depression, and low self esteem. Are you suffering silently? Do you often feel alone? Do ...
These days, many of us are busy - working multiple jobs, raising families, commuting and many of us never take the time to stop or pause.

You bite back scathing, sarcastic cynicism when your excessively upbeat idiot coworker asks if you have a case of the Mondays. You’re too smart for this. You never wanted this job. You fell into it years ago, and the money keeps you shackled. Everything else is gone. Lovers can’t handle your bitterness. You inherited a backlog of awful, so you cut family out years ago. You got a bum deal; a lif...
There’s no greater freedom than living in your true self, a self authentically and lovingly connected to others. It’s how we are built. It’s how our children are built.
