My goal is to help my clients find relief through utilizing bodywork with therapy, talk therapy generally stays in the thinking brain where you can gain meaning (which is nice) instead of being able to embody the emotions. I currently use Somatic Experiencing. Created by Peter Levine "This therapy works on the principle that trauma gets trapped in the body, leading to symptoms possibly of PTSD or people who have experienced trauma might have." Through this method, practitioners work on releasing this stress from the body which could show up as many syndromes (mental to medical diagnosis)

Are you struggling, feel lost or uncertain about which direction you are going in life. We all go through things in life that have caused us to feel sadness, anxiety and even hopelessness about the future. It is "ok" to accept help and support through difficult times. It is also "ok" to not be "ok" all the time and this is where I can help you through this process. I believe that when a person is struggling from past and/or present issues and they feel like no one hears them or understands, it can become very debilitating in everyday life. I will listen and guide you through the process of healing through your struggles.
