Somatic Therapy in Gilbert, Arizona

For those who’ve done all the mindset work—and still feel stuck in their bodies.

  • “I don’t want to drag this out over months. I’m ready now.”

    Let’s go deeper, faster.

  • “I’m so done circling the same patterns.”

    Let’s break the cycle.

  • “I’m tired of managing it. I want to actually heal it.”

    EMDR intensives give you the space to do just that.

  • “I’ve talked about it. I’ve journaled it. I’m ready to actually move through it.”

    Book an EMDR intensive and let’s go deeper.

Let's get booked!

You’ve read the books. You’ve journaled your trauma. You’ve therapized your inner child.

But your body still won’t chill.

You logically know you’re safe... but your jaw’s clenched, your chest is tight, and your nervous system is throwing a full-on tantrum every time you try to rest, speak up, or feel something real.

That’s because trauma doesn’t live in your thoughts.It lives in your body.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (aka somatic therapy) helps you work with the wisdom of your nervous system—not just your mind.

You can’t out-think a body that still feels unsafe.

It’s time to stop intellectualizing and start releasing.

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is body-based healing.

It’s about noticing—noticing what happens in your body when you talk about hard things, when you set a boundary, when you remember something painful.

Instead of just talking about the problem, we help your body complete the survival responses it’s still stuck in.

You don’t need to cry to “get it out.”
You don’t need to dig up old memories if your system isn’t ready.
You just need to start listening to what your body’s been trying to say for years.

 Somatic FAQs

    • Chronic anxiety or looping thoughts

    • Emotional numbness or shutdown

    • Feeling frozen, stuck, or disconnected from your body

    • Overreactions that make no sense in the moment

    • Muscle tension, gut issues, or unexplained physical symptoms

    • Perfectionism, burnout, and the inability to rest

    • Not being able to “feel” your feelings, even when you want to

    • Past trauma, especially when you don’t have clear memories

    Somatic therapy is especially powerful for attachment wounds, emotional neglect, and preverbal trauma—the stuff that happened before you had words but shaped everything after.

  • There’s no pressure to perform here.
    We go slow. We track your body’s cues. We notice what’s happening right now.

    You might:

    • Notice how your chest tightens when you talk about a boundary

    • Feel a “freeze” part take over when you remember a conflict

    • Track your breath or tension as we talk through a stuck pattern

    • Practice small movements or postures that restore a sense of agency and safety

    • Pendulate between safety and discomfort instead of diving straight into overwhelm

    You’ll leave sessions not just understanding yourself—but actually feeling more connected, more grounded, and more in charge.

  • Not at all. Most of my clients start with, “Umm… I think I feel nothing?”
    That’s actually a survival response. We’ll start wherever your body is—and go slow.

  • Nope. Somatic therapy isn’t about retelling the story—it’s about shifting how your body holds it.
    We can process deep stuff without diving into overwhelm. Safety first, always.

  • Then you’re in the right place.
    Disconnection is a survival strategy.
    Somatic work helps you gently rebuild that connection—with zero pressure and lots of grace.

  • Absolutely. I integrate somatic work into EMDR and Parts Work sessions all the time.
    It helps you stay grounded and actually feel the shifts—not just talk about them.

  • Somatic sessions are private-pay only and not typically covered by insurance. However, I can provide a superbill if you’d like to submit for potential reimbursement.

  • Start with a free 15-minute consult to see if this is the right fit. From there, we’ll talk goals, availability, and get your sessions scheduled.
