Movement Matters Integrative Psychotherapy

Imagine what it could be like to feel more like yourself, more at home in your body, and more fully alive.

I am the director of Movement Matters, a somatic therapy practice. We specialize in helping people move beyond trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, the stress of big life changes, and feeling disconnected from yourself.

Many of our clients have been in talk therapy before and want something different, or simply know they are looking for a somatic or body-based approach to therapy.

At Movement Matters, we believe that real change happens when we work with the whole self, including the mind and body, and get underneath the surface to explore the stories and patterns that have shaped how we move through life.

We love somatic therapy (a body-based approach) because it gets us away from talking in circles, and helps us dive under the surface, taking the work deeper.

Somatic therapy helps us move out of our head and creates new pathways for relating to our experience. It invites your body and your imagination into the conversation and helps you integrate change in your life.

The mind and body can’t be separated. We’ll talk and think about your experiences, but they live in your body and also in the parts of your brain that don’t use words. So when we work with the mind and body together, and use your imagination and creativity, it can take healing and growth to a new level.

Our Approaches Include:

  • Somatic therapy
  • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
  • Movement psychotherapy
  • Expressive & creative arts therapy, including dance/movement psychotherapy
  • EMDR

Imagine what it would be like to:

Feel more free to be yourself and have more joy in your relationships, work, and daily life

Be more at home in your body, feeling more settled, relaxed, and grounded

Feel less trapped in cycles of overthinking, knowing you can trust yourself and your instincts
