Somatic, Internal Family Systems, and EMotion Focused Therapy

Healing through embodiment, nervous system regulation, and compassionate parts work

A return to Belonging and Aliveness

You may have done years of personal growth, insight, or talk therapy — and still feel caught in patterns of anxiety, overwhelm, relational pain, or nervous system exhaustion.

This is often because the roots of these patterns live not only in thoughts, but in the body and nervous system.

At The Embodied Self, I offer and integrated blend of modalities that are heavily influenced by training in Somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotion Focused therapy. I work with clients throughout CO and NC who want a deeper, more integrative path to healing. Our work attends to sensation, emotions, stories we tell, breath, parts of self, and nervous system states so change happens from the inside out.

This is therapy for people who want more than coping.
This is therapy for people ready for transformation.

I approach therapy from a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model, a holistic framework that looks at the whole person—body, mind, relationships, and meaning. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, this approach recognizes that our physical health, emotional life, social environment, and sense of purpose are deeply interconnected and constantly shaping one another.

Who This Work Is For

This work may be a good fit for you if you:

• Feel anxious, overwhelmed, or chronically tense

• Identify as creative, artistic, neurodivergent, highly sensitive, empathic, or emotionally attuned

• Struggle with relationship or attachment patterns

• Feel disconnected from your body or inner sense of safety

• Have experienced trauma or complex PTSD

• Are drawn to depth, embodiment, and self-understanding

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and seeking a therapy experience that honors the whole person — body, mind, and nervous system.

How I Work

My approach blends:

Somatic Therapy — working with the body and nervous system as essential pathways for healing

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) — access, deepen, explore, express, and transform emotion

Internal Family Systems (IFS) — compassionate parts work that helps your core Self lead with clarity and calm

Together, these approaches support lasting change by addressing both physiology and inner experience.

What It’s Like to Begin

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions and see if this feels like a good fit.

You don’t need to know exactly what to say — simply reaching out is enough.
