Individual Somatic Psychotherapy: While I incorporate a variety of modalities into my work as a somatic psychotherapist, I tend to focus on present-moment states of being. This means that I pay close attention to what’s happening in the room, in your body, and between you and me, during our sessions. You may be curious and yet hesitant; hopeful and yet afraid. I help you embody the resilience you need to become the person you’ve always wanted to be.

I believe that people heal best by forming meaningful relationships. So, in therapy, I always seek to develop a genuine and trusting relationship with the person in front of me. I believe that a person’s true self emerges through this type of connection and knowing ourselves gives us the confidence we need to experience more joy and make significant changes in our lives. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, life transitions, loss, grief, troubled self-esteem, trauma, addiction, and relationship issues. I work with adults, couples, families, children, and adolescents.
