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

My Approach to Helping

I am a Certified Hakomi Therapist. I also do EMDR. I teach and practice mindfulness/awareness - the practice of compassionate presence. This somatic approach of tracking thoughts, emotions, sensations and memories leads to a spacious relaxing of the body and calming of the mind. I believe everyone has a core compassionate and wise center. Here we are able to hold our experiences with an attitude of curiosity, calmness and clarity. Therapy can help access this center. Together we can gently liberate a more confident, connected clear and calm you.
