My compassionate and active approach to therapy is one that can rapidly improve a willing client's life. Clients have the opportunity to experience healing and transformation as they integrate a sustainable sense of well-being. I teach techniques that provide for ongoing self-care and self-sufficiency. I offer my clients concrete tools and therapeutic experiences for shifting their patterns and healing their pain; they become empowered and live more authentic and satisfying lives. Couples build attunement, improve communication and overcome individual and relational patterns that prevent intimacy.
Does your internal sense of well-being depend on external circumstances? Are you fearful of deep intimacy? Do your conflicts feel unresolvable? Are your reactions bigger than than your triggers? Are you your own worst enemy? These issues can shift. You don't have to stay stuck! I can help.
I practice Integrative Body Psychotherapy; I perceive body, mind, and spirit as integrated parts of a whole person. Every experience has physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects that manifest internally within the body, and externally in relationship to others. I work with all of these aspects for integration and healing.
