I believe that we all have an inherent ability to heal deeply, oftentimes we just need a safe environment to begin to open and step on this healing journey. When we realize that disoriented parts of ourselves cause imbalance and problems, the awareness itself leads the way to becoming whole and come home to ourselves. As we move through the story of life in time and space, we carry the past to the present and the present to the future. Our bodies – physical and subtle hold so much of our stories beneath the surface. My goal, using somatic-based approaches, is to help you reattune to our existential wisdom and bring lasting change.

The process of becoming who you want to be is a daunting task. The realities of life and the complexities of our modern world can be overwhelming, and seeking help can bring its own form of stress.

You and I will work together to examine your relationship with the problem and break down what sustains it. We’ll find those moments in which you transcend, and we’ll consider what this might mean for you as you write the next chapters of your life.
