Our world expects so much from people and we are often able to do it all, for a while. Sometimes expectations, both ours and others, smother us and leave us feeling hopeless. We might not be able to move forward in our career, despite excelling in our work. Sometimes we bury emotions, thinking I’ll get to that later, which may result in feeling overwhelmed or feeling nothing at all. Perhaps the demands of career, family, and caring for others leave us feeling exhausted and guilt-ridden. Possibly what has always worked, doesn’t seem to work anymore. Peace may feel out of reach.
Working together, we can help you take back your power. You can learn to honor yourself and meet your needs, finding the peace and fulfillment you deserve. You can feel confident in your choices and actions, knowing that you are enough. You can move beyond struggles and past patterns and find joy in your life.
I transitioned into counseling in mid-life, following a 30+ year career in engineering and leadership, so I can relate to work and life struggles. As a dance/movement therapist, I can help you mobilize when you feel stuck. Using hypnosis and EMDR, we can process on a deeper level, beyond the thinking brain. I would be honored to be part of your journey.

I do not take insurance; I prefer to work with clients to determine the path through counseling instead of conforming to insurance policies. I offer a superbill that you can file with your insurance company. They may reimburse a percentage. Check with your insurance company to verify.

First, we focus on what is most pressing and help you through. After freeing up that energy, we can work through past experiences. Traumatic memories often feel like they are happening now. Other experiences and attachment wounds can cause patterns that interfere with your life. By processing past experiences with memory reconsolidation, we can properly store memories and free you from your past.
