Somatic psychotherapy for teens and adults in California
Shift how you experience yourself, your relationships, and your life
You might not know where to start, but you do know that something needs to change if you’re ever going to feel better
-
When your child is struggling, the whole family feels it. You’re seeing the differences—stress and overwhelm from school, difficulty adjusting to change, or withdrawing from friends and family. You want to do whatever it takes to help them feel better but just aren’t sure how.

You’ve been through therapy before or tried other things, but you’re still feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety and self-doubt. Maybe you have a strong inner critic that’s always on, are struggling to move on from painful past experiences, or are finding yourself in the same dysfunctional relationship dynamics. You’re wondering—am I always going to feel this way?
Hi, I’m Deanna.
I’m here to help you make lasting change
Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath why you feel the way you do—not just through your thoughts, but also through your emotions and body—to help you shift what’s keeping you stuck at a deeper, more embodied level. The process of therapy is about making small shifts that add up to big change.
I bring a range of tools—from practical strategies to somatic, experiential methods—so we can shape a process that feels right for where you are and where you want to go. I’ll be honest with you, challenge you when you need it, and help you see the patterns you’re in. I’m here to meet you in this work with warmth, care, and a deep investment in your healing and growth.
I specialize in:
Anxiety & Depression
When anxiety ramps up or depression pulls you down, getting through the day can feel like a lot. You might be overthinking everything and your mind won’t stop racing, or you might be heavy, slow, and struggling to feel anything at all. These experiences can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening in your mind and body, and help you find more ease, clarity, and steadiness.
Teens & Young Adults
Life can feel uncertain during these stages of change—adapting to the pressures of school or work, maintaining a social life, meeting family expectations—all while figuring out who they are. Discover compassionate therapy designed to support teens and young adults in overcoming their struggles so they can step into their full potential.
Somatic Therapy
Your body remembers experiences long after your mind moves on. Hakomi is a somatic approach that helps you slow down enough to hear those signals—tensions, impulses, emotions, images—that reveal the deeper patterns shaping your life. I’ll guide you through a mindful process of self-exploration to help your body release what’s been stuck and make room for new ways of being.
