What's My Approach to Therapy?

I offer support to help you: Calm Anxiety, Heal Trauma, Find Joy, Deepen Relationships and Discover You! You Are Amazing!

I'll help you discover the satisfaction of living your unique life from your true self with the pleasurable participation of your body. I'd love to be your guide.

I offer leading edge approaches to help you shift from surviving to thriving: Somatics; relational, attachment and experiential work; IFS Wise SelfParts work; visualizations; and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (similar to Somatic Experiencing) for healing trauma, including shock, developmental, complexCPTSD, attachment trauma, and panic attacks.

It can be so hard to let go of old limiting beliefs, stuckness and habitual patterns that originally arose to help protect you, but which are keeping your world too small now. Change is possible! I’ll help you with powerful evidence-based modalities that are kind, practical, creative, and effective. You’ll take away more of a sense of your True Self from each session!

I’m a therapist’s therapist and a professional’s professional. I have extensive experience helping my clients have better relationships with themselves and with others. You’ll be able to say, This is my life, I’m taking it seriously and enjoying it! And yes, you can learn to say out loud and mean it: I love myself!

My Practice & Services

I’ve been in practice since 1997 and a Certified Hakomi Therapist since 2004. Each time we meet I'll help you take with you a felt sense, practiced-in-session connection with your True Self that will not only sustain you, but surprise you, enliven you and which you will use to build on and deepen into, healing trauma, calming anxiety, deepening relationships and learning to love your amazing self!

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

When we take the leap to be our true selves, the road rises to support us in ways that we couldn't have imagined. I'll help you learn to hear, trust and follow your wisdom, and tap into your heartfelt and gut-sense knowing. Together we will find your new and beautiful story.

Give me a call and we can speak about where you are on your path, and see if I might be the guide to accompany you on your journey. I look forward to the privilege of learning about your aspirations and supporting you as you come more fully alive!

My Therapy Focus

I am dedicated to helping you find, support and be alive in whatever you are passionate about bringing forth in your life. I offer a huge palette of tools and a creative and creativity-inspiring soul. I'll help you reconnect to your most-alive self in the present moment through embodied, take-away practices that will help you thrive and fulfill your dreams. I'm also a performer and singer-songwriter with five albums, a writer, poet and artist. I know the thrill of expression and also what we must face in ourselves in order to truly express.

I'll help you discover the satisfaction and meaning of living from your True Self with the pleasurable participation of your body. You'll learn to to bring compassion and love to yourself, your relationships, and your life's work and manifest your unique personal mission statement for your life.
