I believe in the innate power each of us possesses to heal. Beginning with a gentle exploration of your story, your sense awareness and your feeling world, I seek to find a mutually agreed upon place to begin deeper work together. I hold close to embodiment (breath/gesture/sensation); creativity (playfulness/curiosity/possibility); and compassion (non-judgment/empathy/connection): all these are pathways to ground and support your healing process. I have found that depth of relationship itself is a healer, so I strive for a REAL, courageous relationship with my clients- capable of sustaining vulnerability, fierceness and deep transformations.
I'm drawn to work especially with expressive potential and embodied experience in the therapy process. I have training and experience in both vocal work and somatic approaches which simply means how your body and your voice can be a resource and a map for your journey to wholeness.
I believe the deepest healing is only possible when we rediscover a connection to the Life of Earth, and explore our embeddedness in our communities and world, both human and more-than-human. Thus our work may often engage our voices and embodied wisdom, and our interbeing with our earth.
