I have thirty years experience helping people who are suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, relationship conflict, stress, and many other issues that take away from quality of life. My approach goes beyond plain talk therapy. My goal is to help you release old wounds, connect with your true inner self, and find your power. Whether you are completely new to therapy or have had many therapists and are discouraged with a lack of results, I am dedicated to listening and finding the right approach for you, the unique human that you are. I want to empower you to achieve your goals and live the fulfilling life that you deserve.
I offer a unique approach, combining a blend of techniques such as CBT, MBCT, and stress management with my own technique that I have developed using sound and body awareness to help you access and release places that are stuck or being repressed. Trauma is experienced by your body as well as your mind, listening to it can be a powerful tool for healing.
Your can discover the rich resources in your body to navigate your life and the strength to advocate for your needs and feelings. Your body can become a welcoming home that you can turn to no matter what the storms of life may bring. You deserve to heal! If you'd like to get a sense of how we fit, I offer a free half hour consultation.
