Are you feeling stressed and having trouble managing anxiety? Are you feeling listless or disconnected from life? If so, you've come to the right place. I'm worked with many newbies and veterans to the therapy process to help them build more capacity to be with their emotions so that they can live a more fulfilling life. I've had clients resolve chronic pain syndromes, go from being single to being in a relationship, find greater purpose in their work, become free of depression, and more.
Many clients tell me that the way I do therapy is different then anything they have experienced. I emphasize helping people feel their feelings in their body. It's so common for us to do things we know are not good for us. Knowing what to do can only go so far - we have to go deeper into the emotional and survival parts of the brain via the body.
I am passionate about supporting individuals of all races, genders, and neurotypes. Unlike some therapists, we will not just talk about the same issues over and over again with no results in your life. I will be active, I will brainstorm with you, I will pull from the many different somatic modalities I have studied, and together we will find what works for.
