In an era of distractions and pressure, I help my clients reclaim their inner center. I have since 1995 actively refined how I see and work with people. I have learned to pick up on my clients’ struggles while also connecting with them. I am a certified Focusing Trainer, certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, and certified in Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment. These modalities are efficient mindfulness of the body approaches that help me provide you with tools to bring out the wealth of knowledge that your mind-body holds. This allows for something new to develop from within you such that real and lasting change can occur.

Sometimes life experiences leave us feeling overwhelmed or hopeless and we find that the ways we usually cope are not helping. Sometimes our personal journey involves difficult, seemingly impossible crises or losses. At times like these, we often try to manage emotions with activities that help us feel better for a short time but then the cost starts to outweigh the benefits. I believe we all go through times like this when we are tired of struggling. The path towards recovering from these experiences seems more doable when we are able to find a renewed motivation and clear goals towards healthy change.
