When the Body Speaks Without Words

Have you ever felt a "void" in the front of your head, or realized you're holding a set of keys but can't quite "feel" their weight or texture? It’s as if a veil has been thrown over your skin, removing you from the very flow of your own life.

Alexithymia is the clinical inability to put feelings into words. Neuroscience shows us that during trauma, the brain’s speech center (Broca’s area) actually goes offline. All trauma is, by nature, preverbal. While you might have a "cover story" for your history, the inner truth is often stored as isolated sensory fragments—smells, sounds, and gut-wrenching tensions that have no vocabulary.

My approach honors this "speechless horror". Instead of forcing a narrative that your brain isn't biologically ready to tell, we focus on somatic literacy. We learn the language of your "Mohawk of self-awareness"—those midline structures that register your internal GPS. By befriending these primordial feelings in an unrushed, low-demand environment, we help your "emotional brain" finally feel seen and heard.

Ready to trade the frustration of "no words" for a deep, somatic understanding of your inner world?

I provide 100% virtual, neuro-affirming somatic therapy for adults across Minnesota who are ready to move from fragmented silence into a life of embodied, values-aligned peace.
