My Approach to Helping

Somatic psychotherapy is the new paradigm in psychology for self-healing. What does it matter if you fully understand your circumstances but still can‘t move into an authentic life? There is a huge puzzle piece missing when you know what or how you want to be, but something visceral keeps blocking your way. Somatic psychotherapy helps you step out of your head into a full-body intelligence, a gut wisdom, a rich in-the-moment orientation? where you can finally “see” right through old patterns and finally let them go, from both your body and your mind.

More Info About My Practice

We all too often live from our heads cut off from the many clues our bodies provide. Emotional intelligence comes from somatic presence. Somatic psychology helps restore the many connections—between body and mind—that we have forgotten how to use. We should never have begun to mistrust our body‘s signals and override them so indiscriminately. We have lost touch with the seat of out greatest intelligence: the mind and body working in concert, as a team instead of at odds with each other.

Groups I Work With

I work with individuals who want to enhance their personal power through deep presence. My clients are those who have a healthy curiosity about the part they may have played—unconsciously, of course—in the development of the circumstances that cause their suffering. My work is particularly effective with people who wonder why insight has been insufficient to bring about deep and lasting change in their behavior and in their life. If you are committed to the practice of presence, and are interested in consciousness techniques, you can enhance your capacity to maintain personal composure under heightened excitement or stress. The applications are endless: powerful presence is integral in resolving conflicts effectively, presenting well at job interviews, surmounting phobias, enhancing concentration, overcoming fear and anger, boosting courage, negotiating level-headedly, eliminating racing thoughts, presenting engagingly, romancing intrepidly, sustaining arousal... Just imagine the possibilities.
