I offer compassion-based therapy which focuses on what's right and good in you. I team with clients to create a mutual, shared space of compassion, caring and healing. In this space, problems are explored together, losses and hurts are held together. Where there is trauma, it is transformed through body-based somatic therapy and EMDR. I bring a wide array of therapeutic techniques, from ancient wisdom traditions to cutting edge neurobiology, to support your healing and provide practical skills for reaching your goals. Whatever difficulties you face - healing is the rule, not the exception. Private Pay; $160 (some sliding scale)
In a session we will talk and, if you are willing, we may drum or draw, practice self-compassion, laugh, play, hum, read poetry. You will learn how to understand and regulate your own beautiful nervous system. I may lead you in meditation or guided visualization to help you bring soothing to anxious states and vitality to depressed states.
Initiating therapy is a courageous act of self caring. Rightness of fit is important and If you would like to talk and see if we might make a good team, please contact me - I'll be delighted to hear from you.

In my work with clients we work together - as a team - to create a mutual, shared space of caring and healing. In a session we may talk, drum or paint, draw or shape clay, meditate, laugh, play, hum, read poetry and maybe even dance. Where there is trauma, the imprint of trauma is transformed through the body-centered, awareness practices of Somatic Therapy or EMDR.
