You have the power to transform the ocean within you

Psychotherapy for women and adolescents recovering from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and panic.

When we heal the body, the mind follows

Overthinking and under-sleeping. Trapped in fight or flight mode. Struggling to feel at home in your own body. Wanting to connect and enjoy your life, but you forgot how. 

 

Do any of these symptoms feel familiar to you?

 

These are just a few telltale signs of living with unresolved trauma or emotional distress.

Your nervous system is overwhelmed, and likely, you are too. 
 

But you don’t have to continue drowning in it all. 

 

Psychotherapy with a focus on somatic healing,  will help you craft a healing journey that works for your mind and body. A journey that guides you to a place of peace, restores your sense of self, and helps you (re)-experience the world around you.

Exhale...

Everything you know about therapy.

In somatic therapy, you won’t have to retell details about your past or your trauma if you don't want to and we aren't just here to vent. We'll focus on finding relief in the body and mind using the here and now. By understanding and easing your physical symptoms, freedom from anxiety, PTSD, and trauma follows. 

Inhale...

 A therapeutic approach that you will  help you FEEL the relief, find control of your mind and body,  and start living again.

It's time to reset and find balance

What have clients said?


"I spent most of 2020 in fight or flight mode, coping with PTSD episodes and panic. I had tried to address these issues on my own and found it a losing battle. I came to Kristin looking for tools to help me process episodes while decreasing their frequency and impact. Since I've started, my relationship has improved, my awareness of shame and trauma has increased, and my ability to self-regulate has grown."

Female client age 31

“I would refer anybody I know to Kristin who is struggling with anxiety, depression, or a feeling of not belonging. For me, these have all stemmed from childhood trauma. Attachment therapy and self-regulation have played a vital role in how I feel better as I progress.”

Female client age 26
