I am a somatically-focused therapist, iRest Level 2 Meditation Teacher and life-long dance artist. I have worked as a healer in both community centers and privately throughout Chicago providing body/mind connective therapy in support of recovery from the effects of chronic mental dis-ease. My creative therapeutic approach is rooted in trauma-focused healing and the belief that each individual possesses the power to heal when provided with a safe, trustworthy and unbiased environment. I am a strong proponent of providing access to quality healthcare and healing services to all people regardless of income or socioeconomic background.
My work as a somatically-focused therapist and meditation teacher exist in tandem to provide guidance in discovering a mind/body connection useful in recovery and becoming more acquainted with each person's ability to heal and develop as a unique individual.
I have experience working in a variety of settings including inpatient, residential, outpatient and private settings. I am available for individual and group sessions.
