Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

I am a body-centered creative arts somatic psychotherapist. I synthesize the Hakomi Method of body-centered therapy with my other training in Somatic Experiencing, Family Constellations, Modern Analytic Group Work, Rubenfeld Synergy, Jungian Dream analysis, JIn Shin Jyutsu and Mindfulness Meditation. It is my intention to provide a safe place for another human being to fully experience and pass through the memories, feelings and sensations which are limiting the awareness and experience of peace, freedom and creative Self expression. I utilize myself, my sensitivity and awareness and all of my trainings to facilitate and guide another into their experience. It is through this process that I foster the experience and integration of insight, understanding, ans compassion for self. I support my clients throughout their process of evolution and healing. I foster the unification of body, mind, soul and spirit. Through the process of reestablishing biological creative self-regulation and emotional resilience my clients develop the ability to reestablish the flow of sensation which opens up the pathway into self love, self acceptance and the reestablishment of healthy boundaries with self and other. (internal and external boundaries). I maintain a private practice in New York City and I am involved in training and supervising therapists. I support people in the restoration of being with breath within the boundaries of the body in order to reestablish a felt sense of blood and bones within journey of returning to a place of bonding and belionging to SELF aware of the balance and beauty that is present when the return to BEING is established through the integration of breath with BODY. I have a passion for the return of the mystical and creative aspects of life through the knowledge and study of astrology and mysticism. I do believe that we are in the process of evolving as a species and the restoration of the integration between thought, feeling, sensation, impulse and relationships with others in a grounded, contactful communication is new to our species. We have not lived successfully with internal and external intimacy. I facilitate and promote intimacy with self and other. I love to be a witness and a midwife for the return of SOUL to BODY.

My Role as a Therapist

My role is to help my client resolve the unmet developmental needs that may make contribute to beliefs, symptoms and relationship challenges. I am present with my heart and my mind and all my training to act as a midwife for the intentions that my client shares with me. I am also there to help people become more aware and mindful of being present and aware of bodily sensations.

 

What I Usually Need to Know to Help

I need to know from them why there are deciding to be in therapy at this time and what their needs and goals are. I will also give them time to tell me their history as we are developing trust and also learning how to stay grounded, contained, resourced and aware of sensations and emotions. I will also want to know what kind of support they outside of the therapeutic relationship.
