Somatic therapy for survivors tired of talking about what happened, ready to release what's stored in the body and finally feel better

In-Person Therapist in Sebastopol, California • Virtual Throughout California & Oregon

Welcome.

I'm so glad you found your way here.

I help people who are willing to begin or continue the courageous journey towards healing from sexual harm or trauma so that they can live more fully and peacefully in the present moment.

Are you struggling and despite having survived possibly the worst event in your life, every day feels hard with no end in sight? 

You told yourself that maybe it wasn't as bad as you think, and despite not remembering all that happened, you can't shake that awful feeling that your life is forever changed and your old life is of the distant past.

Then it was nightmares and living on edge all the time. Now it's been months (or years) in, frozen in time and watching your life pass like you're a passenger in the backseat.

My clients are caring, empathetic, and resilient people with dreams for their futures. They're also totally overwhelmed with trying to keep up with life and holding it together despite an internal battle with themselves.

The numbing and anxiety are getting in the way of actually being present, which is what they want most to return to. They're going through the motions and feeling like they've disconnected from who they used to be, the life they had imagined before life got derailed. 

You may be here because...

  • You feel on edge all the time and can't relax

  • Hours go by, and you can't recall how you spent the last days

  • You can't trust anyone, let alone yourself

  • Romance and intimacy feel difficult, if not impossible now

  • You carry the heavy burden of guilt/shame

  • Old patterns keep repeating, and you feel stuck and bad about yourself

  • Your brain and body feel totally exhausted from the inner battle

  • You want so badly to delete bad memories and sometimes turn to desperate ways of coping to escape your pain

  • You wish you had your old life back again

You may benefit from somatic therapy if you still can't find relief from your pas despite despite years of talk therapy.

Meet Krystal 

It is important for you to find a therapist who you connect with.


I strive to cultivate an inclusive, respectful, warm, and inviting space where you feel seen, believed, supported, and empowered. You don't need to have the right words or know exactly where to begin. Together, we'll move at a pace that honors your experiences while creating room for healing to unfold naturally.

Healing is not something you have to do alone. You deserve to have support through this. You’re invited to reach out to me to explore the possibility of working together towards healing.

Healing Is Possible

It is possible to recover from trauma no matter what happened, when it happened, or how you feel right now. 

With somatic, trauma-informed therapy rooted in neurobiology and the therapeutic relationship, it is possible to experience more calm, more connection, and more strength than you might believe is possible today.

My hope is to help you reclaim your life and the parts of yourself that trauma may have severed, so that you may live life with greater empowerment, inner peace, and wholeness.

Ready to Begin?

Before reaching out, you might be wondering if you're strong enough to face the trauma or if it will completely shatter you. You are capable and strong enough no matter how you feel right now. You also don't have to do this alone, and deserve support. 

What I know is that feeling more present and reclaiming your life is possible. You don't have to keep living in fear, watching your back and waiting for the next shoe to drop.

When you're ready, schedule a free 20-minute consultation and we’ll chat, see if we’re a good fit, and go from there.
