Anxiety can manifest in both your mind and body, leading to a constant state of worry, tension, and physical discomfort. By combining CBT with somatic techniques, we work together to:

• Identify negative thought patterns and beliefs that fuel anxiety.

• Use body awareness techniques to recognize where anxiety is physically held in your body.

• Incorporate breathwork, grounding exercises, and other somatic tools to release tension and create a sense of calm and control.

This integrated approach helps you manage anxiety more effectively and regain a sense of clarity, focus, and emotional balance.

The pressures of a demanding career can lead to burnout, exhaustion, and a sense of detachment. Through CBT and somatic therapy, we focus on:

• Identifying thought patterns that contribute to burnout, such as perfectionism or people-pleasing tendencies.

• Using somatic awareness to recognize where stress manifests physically, like in your shoulders, neck, or chest.

• Practicing mindfulness, grounding, and stress reduction techniques to restore energy, focus, and work-life balance.

This holistic approach helps you address both the psychological and physical symptoms of burnout, allowing you to rediscover your passion and perform at your best without sacrificing your well-being.

Anxiety in dating can prevent you from fully connecting with others and enjoying the process. Whether you’re struggling with fears of rejection or concerns about not being “enough,” somatic therapy can help by:

• Addressing negative self-talk and limiting beliefs around relationships.

• Using somatic techniques to calm the body’s anxious or avoidant responses and help you remain present during dates or conversations.

• Improving your self-worth and self-confidence, so you can enter relationships with a sense of authenticity and ease.

By working on both your mental and physical responses to dating, somatic therapy empowers you to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Perfectionism often looks like high standards and success on the outside—but on the inside, it can feel like never being enough, constant self-criticism, and fear of failure. This chronic pressure isn’t just in your mind—it’s wired into your nervous system.

Using somatic therapy alongside cognitive techniques, we’ll work to:

• Identify the thought patterns that drive overworking, people-pleasing, and harsh self-judgment

• Explore how perfectionism shows up physically—like tension, shallow breathing, or a constant feeling of urgency

• Practice body-based tools to interrupt those patterns and build tolerance for imperfection, rest, and uncertainty

This approach helps you shift from relentless pressure to sustainable self-leadership—so you can still strive, but with self-compassion instead of self-punishment.

You may not always identify as having “trauma,” but past experiences—especially those involving emotional neglect, unpredictability, or chronic stress—can shape how your nervous system responds today. You might find yourself bracing for failure, disconnected from your body, or always on alert.

Through somatic therapy, we’ll:

• Gently bring awareness to the ways your body holds past experiences (like muscle tension, gut discomfort, or dissociation)

• Use movement, grounding, and breathwork to process stored stress without needing to relive it

• Rebuild a sense of internal safety so you can respond to life instead of reacting from survival mode

This process helps you break long-standing patterns and respond to the present with more clarity, calm, and choice.

When you struggle with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or perfectionism, it can be difficult to feel grounded in who you are. Somatic therapy helps by:

• Identifying limiting thoughts and beliefs that undermine your self-worth.

• Using body-centered practices to reconnect you to your authentic self and sense of empowerment.

• Cultivating self-compassion and confidence through somatic exercises that support your mental and emotional healing.

By integrating CBT and somatic therapy, we’ll work together to build a strong, authentic sense of self that aligns with your values and life goals.

If rest feels unsafe, stillness makes you anxious, or achievement is your only gear, you might be stuck in the Hustle Trap—a cycle where doing becomes your coping strategy. Even when you want to slow down, your body doesn’t know how to.

In somatic therapy, we work to:

• Understand how your nervous system got wired for urgency, pressure, and over-functioning

• Notice and name the physical cues of hustle mode (e.g., racing heartbeat, jaw tension, inability to rest)

• Build capacity for slowness and rest through body-based regulation, breathwork, and grounding tools

This work supports you in creating a relationship with productivity that’s rooted in intention, not overdrive—and helps you access ease without guilt.
