Bay Area Somatics honors your self-determination, and it’s an honor to collaborate with you on your journey.

This practice is dedicated to creating a safe place for inner work where you can unabashedly examine your beliefs, patterns, and past — to make illuminating personal discoveries and learn new ways of approaching problems.

Our approach to therapy is a bit eclectic. We combine the best of Psychodynamics, Somatic Experiencing ®, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapies.

Everything we share with clients is evidence-based, compassionate, and customized to support your unique needs.

If you're new to some of this terminology, we’re happy to explain.

Psychodynamic methods include traditional talk therapy, which can facilitate the examination of past experiences that resulted in negative cycles of thought(s) and behavior(s).

Somatic Experiencing® is a method of rebalancing the nervous system from the effects of trauma. It utilizes the body's innate processing and healing systems to release stored trauma and return to a more desirable way of living.

Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy seeks to change limiting underlying beliefs that disrupt the present ability to thrive.

In all matters of self-work and discovery, your autonomy and ethical treatment are the highest priority at Bay Area Somatics.

Our practice is BIPOC and Queer Affirming. We validate and uplift the experience of Black Indigenous People of Color and folx that identify with minority sexual orientations and gender identities (in addition to other marginalized identities a person may hold).

We work with adults and teens.
