Somatic Therapy for Individuals

Self-esteem is the ability to see yourself as a flawed individual and still hold yourself in high regard.

Terry Real

Somatic Individual Therapy

My clients describe me as: direct, pragmatic, intuitive, no-bullshit, somatic, funny, present, and spiritual.

With my direct approaches and holistic lens, we will get you where you want to be, in a warm, effective, embodied way.

I specialize in working with individuals struggling with issues of self-worth. This usually show up in two flavors: On one end, this can be experienced as shame, or like an invasive scary inner critic putting you down all the time. On the other end of the spectrum, this can manifest as believing you are better than everyone, surrounded by incompetent fools, and that you deserve special attention from your loved ones and the world. In both cases, you experience some sort of alienation from the world, unable to connect on an emotional level with your family and love ones. Maybe you can’t even imagine what that could be like. And that’s okay! In our work together, I will support you in building the muscles to make that more of a reality.

If you feel like you are full of half hashed believes and contradictory statements, not sure which one to rely on anymore, I can help you sort it out. Cult like behaviors is repent within the spiritual scene, whether from the old monotheist religions, yoga, shamanism, animism, new age or what ever is the flavor of the day. If you have been in prolonged contact with teachings without deep roots, prey of grandiose ‘teachers’ and look at it deeply, it might feel like you are in free fall and ready to crash on the ground any minute. Cutting the strings with those teachings and coming back to Earth from those entitled pseudo spiritual highs can be painful. I can help you soften the landing and make sure the ground you land on is rock solid and stays that way.

I also specialize in working with first and second generation immigrants, supporting you to embody the fullness of your cultures within yourself and in your relationships. As an immigrant and world traveler myself, I am all too familiar with the unsettling experience of culture shock. As you adjust to a new land, I can support you finding your steps in the dance between your roots and the culture you live in now.

Other issues I work with: procrastination, anxiety, panic attack, cPTSD, PTSD, narcissism
