Getting support is more important than ever. I help clients adjust to change, including loss, overcoming difficulties with relationships of all kinds, addressing attachment issues, PTSD, and anxiety. I work collaboratively—a strong connection between therapist and client is the foundation of good therapy. Listening deeply to clients, I draw on 40 years as a somatic practitioner (incl. 10 years as a massage therapist) and use intuition, empathy, compassion, and humor to help guide the process. I integrate proven and effective mind-body techniques to alleviate chronic stress and pain and achieve wellness through life-style changes.
Trauma is one area of my expertise, particularly adult survivors of childhood abuse. I incorporate TRE® (Tension/Trauma Release Exercise) a body-based self-help method that can stand alone or in conjunction with talking, emotional release, and a spiritual perspective. I'm committed to helping clients learn self-regulation and develop new coping methods.
I have a BA in Holistic Health, MA in Dance & Movement, as well as being a professional violinist. Drawing on my background as a musician, writer, and dancer, I use creativity and expressive arts to access emotions, discover a new narrative, and find meaning in your experiences. I look forward to working with you to co-create the life you want.
