Somatic Trauma and Sex Therapy Services in Michigan and Georgia

Let Us Connect

My Approach

Virginia Satir believed that healing occurs through authentic relationships, increased self-esteem, and greater congruence between our inner and outer worlds. Combined with somatic trauma therapy, this approach recognizes that the nervous system plays a vital role in emotional well-being, relationships, sexuality, and resilience.

Our work may include:

  • Nervous system regulation and resilience

  • Somatic awareness and interoception

  • Experiential interventions that deepen self-awareness

  • Healing attachment and relational wounds

  • Restoring embodied self-trust

  • Exploring emotions with curiosity and compassion

  • Strengthening boundaries and authentic communication

  • Building self-esteem and personal agency

  • Supporting emotional regulation and flexibility

  • Developing greater capacity for intimacy, vulnerability, and connection

Therapy moves at a pace that honors your nervous system rather than overwhelming it, creating opportunities for sustainable healing and meaningful growth.

What Makes This Approach Different?

My work combines:
  • Virginia Satir's Experiential Therapy
  • Somatic Trauma Therapy
  • Trauma Focused Sex Therapy
  • Attachment-Informed Therapy
  • Nervous System Regulation
  • Polyvagal-informed principles
  • Body-based healing
  • Compassionate, experiential interventions

Rather than asking you to simply "think differently," therapy creates opportunities for your nervous system to experience safety, choice, and authentic connection in new ways.

Healing becomes less about fixing yourself and more about reconnecting with the wisdom that has always been present within you.

Somatic Trauma Sex Therapy
