Somatic Therapy & Core Energetics in Washington, DC
Feel more alive and connected to yourself and the people in your life. In individual sessions, couples sessions, and ongoing process groups, this body-based therapy combines conversation with movement, breath, voice, and attention to what is happening in the body. We bring awareness to energetic blocks and old patterns often shaped by family dynamics, early ways of relating, survival responses, and experiences of trauma. As this energy begins to move, we can make new choices instead of unconsciously repeating unfulfilling patterns, opening to greater empowerment, connection, and fulfillment in your life.

The approach
Core Energetics: a relational practice centering the body, mind, and spirit
Core Energetics is the foundation of my somatic therapy practice in Washington, DC. I completed the four-year Core Energetics Practitioner Training Program. Together, we bring awareness to the blocks and armor that can form on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
These patterns are often connected to family-of-origin dynamics, unmet needs, and trauma. They shape how we learn to relate, protect ourselves, and respond to others. Over time, they can leave us feeling stuck, drained, or unfulfilled.
What happens in sessions
I meet my clients where they are, in the body and in the moment.
Sessions combine talking about what is present and the issues you’re facing with energizing the body through breath, sound, and movement, as well as consensual, non-sexual therapeutic touch when appropriate to support healing and connection.
Together, we bring awareness to what is held in the body and work with it so that stuck energy can move. The work is tailored to you and your needs.

A glimpse of the work
Making room for a new response
Movement can help express feelings and energy that have been frozen or held back. We work to create safety by going at your pace, paying attention to what feels manageable, and allowing you to pause or change direction. Staying with what you feel can help you notice an old response and begin to choose differently.
The purpose of the work
Feel more. Live from a deeper place.
This work helps us stay with what we feel, become more present in our bodies, and recognize the old patterns that shape how we relate. As energy moves, we can make new choices instead of unconsciously repeating patterns that leave us feeling stuck or unfulfilled.
At its heart, this is a deeply spiritual practice. As we peel away the masks and places of separation, we can come into a more intimate relationship with the gifts and wisdom of our Higher Self. This connection can bring more empowerment, intimacy, and aliveness in our lives.

A few things you may be wondering
What is somatic therapy?
Somatic therapy brings the body into the conversation. We pay attention to sensations, breath, movement, and emotions as we explore old patterns and practice new ways of responding.
What happens in a somatic therapy session?
Sessions may include conversation, movement, breath, voice, and—when appropriate and agreed upon—consensual non-sexual therapeutic touch. We follow what is present for you and work at a pace that feels manageable.
How is Core Energetics different from traditional talk therapy?
Core Energetics includes conversation while also working directly with the body, emotions, movement, breath, voice, will, and relational patterns. This body-based approach gives us more ways to notice and work with patterns that may not shift through insight alone.
Do you offer somatic therapy in Washington, DC?
Yes. I offer individual and couples sessions, and ongoing process groups in Washington, DC and online.
Can somatic therapy help with relationship patterns?
