Somatic Experiencing®
in Bozeman, MT
Somatic Experiencing (SE) helps release tension and regulate stress, so you feel more at ease
Stress, trauma, and overwhelm don’t just live in your mind, they are stored in your body, shaping how you think, feel, and react. When past experiences become “stuck” in your nervous system, they can create cycles of anxiety, panic, exhaustion, or a lingering sense of disconnection from yourself.
SE is different from traditional talk therapy. Instead of only processing experiences through words, we gently work with your body’s natural rhythms to release tension, ease emotional and physical stress, and restore a sense of balance.
Maybe this sounds familiar. You keep repeating the same patterns, carrying tension that never fully goes away, or struggling to feel at ease no matter how much you try to relax. Somatic therapy helps you move beyond just coping, so you can finally feel grounded, resilient, and at home in your body.
Do You Feel Overwhelmed, Disconnected, Stuck?
Do any of the following resonate with you?
Your energy levels are at an all-time low
You feel disconnected from yourself
Anxiety and overthinking keep you stuck
You struggle with boundaries
You keep repeating the same unhealthy patterns, even though you want to change
If these sound true for you, I want you to know that there is nothing wrong with you, your body and nervous system have been doing their best to keep you safe, and healing is about learning to work with them, not against them.
You might fear feeling too much too fast, not being able to handle what comes up, or that your symptoms might get worse before they get better, but healing happens at your own pace, with support.

Learn How To Regulate Your Nervous System
What if you felt clear, confident, and in control?
SE helps you go from those emotional highs and lows, in a constant state of reacting, to being more free.
Let’s practice the skills you need to go through life with more ease.
You might be worried that SE will require you to relive painful experiences or that therapy won’t actually help you feel different, like those years of talking and talking, but somatic experiencing is different.
I've helped people who feel stuck in old patterns and overwhelmed by their emotions learn to find a sense of calm and control within themselves. My clients discover that they can feel more at ease in their bodies and relationships. And we can get you there without having to relive painful experiences.
How Somatic Experiencing® Works
Somatic experiencing consists of 55-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, we will train you to use tools that gradually become your body’s natural way of responding. I play an active role.
Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a gentle therapy that helps your body release stress and trauma without having to talk about painful memories. Sessions focus on body sensations, breath, and small movements to help you feel safer, calmer, and more in control. Over time, SE helps reduce anxiety, tension, and overwhelm, making it easier to handle stress and feel more at ease in your daily life.

As we talk, I’ll start to understand what’s been weighing on you and how it’s showing up in your life.
03
We’ll begin with what feels most urgent, whether it’s navigating tough emotions, feeling overwhelmed, or handling life’s challenges.

Together, we’ll explore what really matters to you—both in therapy and in your life as a whole.

With your goals in mind, we’ll figure out what’s needed to help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.
