Washington will almost certainly try to claim credit for the decline in overdose deaths. But the evidence suggests multiple factors are at play, none of which involve enforcing drug prohibition.

At the heart of my approach is a simple understanding: when the nervous system does not feel safe, it seeks relief wherever it can — often through substances or behaviors. Healing begins not by fighting these responses, but by restoring a sense of safety in the body.
Somatic Recovery in Practice
Somatic Recovery supports this process by helping people:
• Regulate the nervous system
• Feel emotions safely in the body, not just talk about them
• Reduce cravings and emotional overwhelm
• Understand addiction as protection, not pathology
• Create sustainable change through safety, awareness, and choice
This work is gentle, collaborative, and paced to what your system can handle. Rather than overriding or pushing through experience, we listen to it and work with it.
Modalities & Training
Somatic Recovery integrates multiple trauma-informed, body-based approaches, including:
• Somatic Experiencing®
• Somatic EMDR
• Integral Somatic Psychology
• Inner Relationship Focusing
• Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy
All work is carefully paced to the individual’s nervous system, with an emphasis on consent, collaboration, and nervous system safety. The goal is not to force change, but to create the internal conditions where change becomes possible.

Addiction is not a failure of willpower.
It’s a nervous system trying to survive.
At Somatic Recovery, we help you gently heal trauma at its root — in the body — so recovery isn’t forced, white-knuckled, or shame-based.
Using Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and trauma-informed therapy, we guide you toward:
• Reduced triggers and cravings
• Emotional regulation
• Relief from chronic stress
• Reconnection with your body
• Sustainable, embodied recovery
You don’t need to “try harder.”
You need support that works with your nervous system — not against it.

A baffling overdose death took investigators to the frontier of ultra-potent synthetic drugs. The clues were hauntingly familiar.

In traditional models, success is often defined strictly as complete abstinence. But what if success was defined by you? Whether your goal is to moderate, use more safely, or stop altogether, your goals are valid. Therapy should be a collaborative process where your voice leads the way. 🌱
