Welcome to
Inner Room Somatic Therapy
contemplative, mindful, somatic psychotherapy
Do you find yourself struggling with persistent anxiety, anger, or worry? Feeling frozen or disconnected from your body? Carrying the weight of unresolved stress or past experiences?
​
You're not alone. Many people carry the imprint of overwhelming stress and trauma in their bodies - often without fully realizing it. This can show up as irritability, worry, anxiety, or a sense of being shut down and powerless. Left unaddressed, these patterns affect our relationships, our work, our confidence, and even our physical health.
​
You do not need to remain stuck under such burdens . Somatic Experiencing and Hakomi-based therapy work directly with your body's innate wisdom to resolve these patterns at their root. By learning to notice and work with your present-moment experience, you can release the grip of old trauma and stress, restore a sense of safety in your relationships, and reclaim your capacity for resilience and joy.
​
Hi, I'm Christo. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I create a safe, contemplative space where you can reconnect with your body's intelligence and move toward genuine healing.

How It Works
-
Schedule a free 20-minute consultation to explore whether we're a good fit
-
Complete an intake packet before your first session
-
Begin your journey with weekly or bi-weekly 45 or 60 minute sessions
-
Integrate session work in your day to day life
I welcome both in-person sessions at my South Eugene office and online sessions via Zoom. Most clients work with me for an initial 12-14 week period to complete a focused "piece of work". Many of my clients will take a break of several weeks or months after that piece of work finds completion, later returning as new layers and challenges come to the surface.

“ To experience embodied awareness, take notice of the underlying sensations that actually inform you about how you feel. If you were to be asked how you feel when you are stressed or in pain, a common answer might be, “I feel anxious” or “I feel upset.” It’s important to go further by becoming curious about how you know that you’re feeling anxious or upset. Is there a tightness or burning that is happening right now inside of you that you are labeling 'anxiety' or 'upset'? ” - Peter Levine, PhD
