Lasting change begins in the nervous system.
Somatic Psychotherapy & Somatic Coaching for Anxiety, Trauma, and Chronic Stress
Licensed Psychotherapy in Vermont
You Hold Everything Together
You hold a great deal, and you do it with care. You’re someone others rely on, and from the outside, your life appears steady.
Yet inside, there’s often a subtle sense of holding.
Even in moments of calm, your body doesn’t fully let down.
The Hidden Cost
Over time, the strain accumulates.
Sleep becomes lighter. Hormones shift. Migraines or digestive issues surface.
You perform well at work – but you’re shorter at home than you want to be.
The people closest to you often receive what’s left at the end of the day.
You tell yourself you’ll slow down eventually.
But your body is already asking for something different.
Why This Work Is Different
You may already understand your patterns.
You’ve reflected deeply. You’ve made connections.
But insight alone doesn’t always recalibrate a nervous system shaped by chronic stress or trauma.
Somatic psychotherapy works at the level of the body – where vigilance, tension, and protective parts are still active.
When the nervous system reorganizes, the bracing softens.
Calm stops being something you manage. It becomes your baseline.
This is structured, depth-oriented work – not surface-level coping.
With over a decade of clinical experience, I specialize in somatic and parts-informed psychotherapy designed to reorganize the nervous system at depth.

Hi, I’m Lara.
If you’re ready to stop working harder and start working differently, you’re in the right place.
I work primarily with high-functioning adults who carry enormous responsibility – and whose bodies have been quietly holding the cost of it.
Many of my clients have already developed insight. They understand their patterns. What hasn’t shifted is the nervous system beneath them.
Through somatic, talk-based psychotherapy, we work directly with how stress and trauma patterns live in the body – helping your system settle, reorganize, and respond from steadiness rather than chronic overdrive.
This work is about less striving and more ease.
Less bracing and more alignment.
A life that feels powerful without costing you yourself.
Go beyond working harder on yourself – live differently!
You don’t have to keep living disconnected from yourself or the ones you love.
Move from chronic fight-or-flight and into more regulated states where rest, pleasure, and connection are actually possible, not just theoretical.
Lasting nervous system change is possible.
