I believe the body comes to therapy and is as valuable a pathway to shift perspective and explore emotions as the mind. I have witnessed amazing transformation in people, including myself, when their physical form is re-aligned and when they have the opportunity to move. I have also witnessed profound change with shifts in perspective, focus, and belief in self. My goal is to have a practice that fosters both. That's why I use Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Yoga (if desired).
