As a psychotherapist and Life Coach I am trained in clinical social work as well as in exercise physiology. I understand how the mind, body and emotions are interconnected.

Life brings us experiences which cause us stress, stretch our capacity to cope. We respond with depression and anxiety. We resort to ineffective behaviors such as substance use, attempting to maintain our stability.

By dictionary definition, any event that has had a lasting negative effect on the self or psyche is by its very nature "traumatic." These events create extreme stress in the body and mind and memories of the event can trigger reactions, emotions, beliefs and physical sensations that existed on the day the memory was originally created. An estimated 70 percent of adults in the United States have experienced a traumatic event at least once in their lives.

I am currently not accepting new clients. A moment of deeply connecting with oneself through an embodied experience can allow for spontaneous change, and eliminate the need for constant seeking of new insight or retelling of the story.

I will help you gather your resources and embody self-compassion and strength, which will enable you to slowly and gently process pain, stress, and trauma.
