Once core issues are understood you will be on your way to making permanent changes that last. In a safe environment we will explore areas of your life that are not satisfying and together we will find solutions.
My work is based on the premise that unresolved emotional experiences are stored in the body. Literally, “our issues are in the tissues”. I help people go gently into areas of their bodies where emotional holding takes place. I have extensive training in Somatic (Body) Psychology.
I use a range of treatment styles to uniquely fit each person’s needs. All the techniques I use are research proven to maximize healing and outcome. My goal is to provide clients with support and specific tools they need to manage anxiety, relieve depression, resolve trauma, and communicate more effectively.
