I transitioned into counseling in mid-life, following a 30+ year career in engineering and leadership, so I understand many of the challenges that life offers. I became a counselor because of a deep desire to help others, and a dance/movement therapist based on my experience with the healing power of dance. I enjoy helping people work through mental health issues and everyday challenges. I also enjoy helping people get in touch with the wisdom of their bodies. I know that everyone needs help from time to time and I would be honored to be an unbiased person who can help you.
Chronic pain or illness can ravage your life, leaving you exhausted and frustrated. Trauma or difficult memories can invade the present, interfering with living your best life. Grief can feel like a bottomless pit with no way out. Your career may feel like a dead end. I understand these struggles and have specific training related to their healing.
You may have noticed that talking and reasoning are not sufficient to help with struggles. Dance/movement therapy and trauma resolution provide a path to healing beyond words and reason. Dance/movement therapy uses body language and creative expression to build connection, awareness and healing. Hypnosis and EMDR reach the subconscious, beyond thinking.
