Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

I am Level 1 trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and regularly integrate the body/mind approach into my therapeutic practice. This helps us to navigate a holistic treatment approach, inclusive of your physical sensations, your cognitions, and your emotional self.

I trained in this incredible healing approach as soon as I finished school, deepening my skills and knowledge of how to include our physical, body experience in therapy for deeper, lasting healing. If you're like the folks I typically work with, you already know a lot about what is going on that isn't working for you. If knowing and talking about it was enough, you might not even be looking for a therapist. Using this treatment, I help you actually experience how it feels to live differently.

This somatic (body and mind) approach brings the wisdom of your body into the therapeutic process of addressing, accessing, processing, transforming, and resolving trauma. This modality explores the present-moment sensations and experiences (mindfulness) of the body to help heal trauma.

I am Level 1 trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and integrate this into my Person-Centered, Strengths-Based approach to all my treatment. I believe there is a strong connection between the mind and body and that sometimes mental health issues can store themselves in the physical body.

I love using exercises to engage clients holistically, integrating both mind and body in sessions. Together, we'll explore tools and skills to bring more body awareness, bringing healing from the inside out.

I have completed level 1 and 2 of Sensorimotor psychotherapy as well as advanced trauma training. Sensorimotor is a body oriented approach to trauma and attachment issues which builds mindful curiosity about the patterns we develop in our life from a mind-body approach.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy combines mindfulness and awareness of body and other moment to moment experience to help support clients in building skills and healing trauma. This modality is something I use quite regularly with clients, and I am continuing to deepen my skills all the time.

"Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) welcomes the body as an integral source of information which can guide resourcing and the accessing and processing of challenging, traumatic, and developmental experience. SP is a holistic approach that includes somatic, emotional, and cognitive processing and integration." - SP website I am currently level 2 trained and enjoy using this modality to bring holistic healing. As a PhD student, I hope to do research/writing on this modality.

Sensorimotor psychotherapy is a body-centered therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and treating the physical symptoms people experience as a result of unresolved trauma. (SP) is a method that draws upon the natural wisdom of the body (posture, movement, and the nervous system) to tap into the innate drive in all of us to heal, adapt, and develop new capacities.

I completed Level 1 Sensorimotor Psychotherapy training.

As a student of sensorimotor psychotherapy, I specialize in techniques that address trauma by integrating mind-body healing. Through my studies and hands-on experience, I'm equipped to support individuals in their healing process.

Using SP, the work shifts from merely talking about something to being fully present with experience as it is. Together, therapist and client pay exquisite attention to internal experience in the here and now, exploring what the client brings to the therapy hour. This invites transformation, healing, and other gifts to unfold. I taught for the SP Institute for 20 years.

Traumas of all types leave lasting imprints in our nervous system. The body remembers. Sometimes that can lead us to feeling panicky, overwhelmed, shut down or even angry. Sensorimotor therapy uses the body to help our nervous system learn to find safety once again.
