Question 1

What is somatic therapy and how is it different from talk therapy?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic therapy helps you access and release trauma stored in the body rather than just talking about it. It combines insight with body-based healing to address the root cause of emotional pain.

Question 2

Is somatic therapy similar to EMDR?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly. While EMDR can be powerful, somatic therapy emphasizes safety, regulation, and connection by working directly with your nervous system. It helps process trauma at a pace that prevents you from becoming overwhelmed.

Question 3

Do you offer in-person sessions?

Accepted Answer

Currently, I provide confidential telehealth therapy sessions for adults across California. This allows you to receive personalized care from the comfort and safety of your own home.

Question 4

What are your session fees and duration?

Accepted Answer

The session fee is $205 per 50-minute session. While I am an out-of-network provider, I can provide superbills upon request for potential insurance reimbursement.

Question 5

How often will we meet for therapy?

Accepted Answer

Typically, we begin with weekly sessions to build momentum. As you progress and find balance, we can transition to bi-weekly or monthly sessions to support your ongoing integration.
