I work with clients who may be struggling with workplace and relationship fatigue. This might relate to chronic toxic stress and the social and cultural demands that keep you from returning to yourself, your body, limiting your capacity to heal and deal. Our work starts with identifying how you respond to negative and positive stressors. Clients often experience relief after one session.

I often use Somatic Counseling, Body-Mind Psychotherapy and Dance/Movement Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what it means to come back to yourself, your cells, and to harmonize body and mind. This is an important first intervention that will inform your direct experience with nervous system regulation and your body's response to negative and positive stress.
