Beyond Stuckness! Beyond Talk Therapy! I offer support to help you: Calm Anxiety, Heal Trauma, Find Joy, Deepen Relationships and Discover You! I'll help you discover the satisfaction of living your unique life from your True Self. I offer leading edge approaches to help you shift from surviving to thriving: Somatics; Hakomi; relational and attachment work; IFS Internal Family Systems; and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (similar to Somatic Experiencing) for healing trauma, including shock, developmental, complex/CPTSD, attachment trauma, and panic attacks. It’d be my privilege to be on the path with you. I'd love to be your guide.
It can be hard to let go of limiting beliefs, stuckness and old patterns that originally arose to protect you, but that are keeping your world too small now. Change is possible! I’ll help you with powerful evidence-based modalities that are kind, practical, creative, and effective. You’ll take away more of a sense of your True Self from each session!
I’m a Certified Hakomi Therapist, a therapist’s therapist and a professional’s professional. I have extensive experience helping my clients have better relationships with themselves and with others. You’ll be able to say, This is my life, I’m taking it seriously and enjoying it! And yes, you can learn to say out loud and mean it: I love myself!
