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.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I bill $160 for a 50 minute individual therapy session. I often have sessions available for a sliding scale rate so please contact me to discuss fees. I am also happy to provide referrals if I do not have availability to accommodate.

I do take some California insurances. You can check your benefits on my Headway profile, below where it invites you to schedule an initial consult. To check your benefits, click here.

Yes. If you are eligible to use out-of-network benefits from your insurance, then you would pay for each session and then each month, I provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Typically they will reimburse you for 60-80% of the cost of each session.
Please check with your insurance company to see if you have out-of-network benefits by calling the member services number on the back of your health insurance card.

I am currently only licensed to work with residents of California. You must live in California in order for us to work together. However, we can discuss coaching options if you live outside of California.
-
No. Therapy looks different for everyone. With that said, I do recommend that new clients attend 1 session per week for at least 1 month so we can build a relationship and to get a good start to working toward your goals.
After this, we can explore what would make sense for you depending on what you’re dealing with and what your financial situation is too.
