Nervous System & Somatic Therapy
Online therapy in Sacramento & throughout California
Release emotional and physical pain from the body
You’ve probably talked about the anxiety, the stress, the old hurts over and over. But you’re not looking for just another talk therapist.
You understand why you feel the way you do. But your body still carries the tension, the tightness, the unease.
That’s because some pain can’t be healed by talking alone.
It needs to be released.
Maybe it feels like
A tight chest or knots in your stomach or a lump in your throat.
Trouble relaxing, even when nothing’s “wrong.”
Feeling disconnected or numb, like you’re watching life happen from the outside.
Chronic tension or aches that never fully go away.
Big emotions that feel overwhelming — or no emotions at all.
The good news is…
These aren’t random sensations. They’re your nervous system’s way of protecting you—responses that once kept you safe, but now leave you stuck in survival mode.
Somatic Therapy (which simply means “body” therapy) helps you gently reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom. Together, we’ll listen to what your body is saying, release old patterns of holding and bracing, and create more safety inside you—not just in your mind, but deep in your nervous system.
This isn’t about forcing or fixing. It’s about learning to feel at home in your own skin again—and letting your body become a place of safety, not stress.
Benefits of Somatic Therapy include:
A calmer, more regulated nervous system.
Less tension and physical discomfort.
Feeling more grounded and present in daily life.
The ability to process emotions without overwhelm.
More trust and connection with your own body.
Better sleep and deeper rest.
Healthier, more connected relationships.
A sense of safety and ease that talking alone couldn’t reach.
Somatic Therapy tools include:
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping)
The B.R.A.I.N.S. Technique (bilateral tapping)
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP music therapy)
Meditation, visualization & breathwork
Somatic therapy gives your body what talk therapy alone cannot: release, relief, and real integration.
