Somatic therapy
Somatic therapy in Mexico City
I work through the body on what the mind can no longer sort out alone: anxiety, stress that lingers, grief, relationships that get stuck.

The approach
What is somatic therapy?
Somatic Experiencing, developed by Peter Levine, is a trauma-aware therapeutic model. It pays attention to the responses of the nervous system to help you regulate what your body holds, at the pace your physical experience sets. What we learn in therapy we learn in relationship: the therapeutic relationship is the first place where the nervous system settles. Many of those responses are not a personal failing. They are what your body learned in order to keep you safe.
I also draw on IFS, Core Energetics and EFT. I don't offer them as a menu to pick from: they work as a map to find the easiest way in for you.
Who it's for
Who can it help?
- People living with anxiety or panic attacks, or whose body feels on high alert.
- People going through grief or a change that hasn't settled.
- People dealing with chronic pain, insomnia or physical symptoms with no clear medical cause.
- People living with a quiet reactivity or exhaustion, the kind that doesn't look like a crisis.
This is individual therapy, for teens and adults.
The process
What a session with me is like
The first session is a mutual interview. You ask me whatever you need, I explain how I work, and together we set your goals. Throughout the session I track your body's responses, which show me where the memories that hold your patterns are. We go at an unhurried pace, so it gets easier and easier for you to say what you feel in your body. The foundation is always that you feel safe in the present.
There may be physical touch only if we agree on it beforehand, always with your consent, and you can change your mind at any time.
The first 3 to 6 sessions are a settling-in period, where we calibrate comfort and depth. If we decide to continue, we schedule in two-month blocks with clear goals. Most often it's one session every two weeks. The deeper work is for you to be able to regulate yourself when something shakes you, and for that to become yours, without depending on coming to see me.
Format
