Somatic Therapists in Saint Louis Park, MN

I serve as a counselor, coach and consultant to individuals, couples, families seeking to make change. My approach is integrative insofar as I utilize practices from different approaches depending on what works for the client and what can be scientifically validated from the field of neuroscience; the work may involve verbal and/or somatic interventions to address problems and opportunities. I consider validation or empathy to be an important foundation for the work. Insight and awareness can also be critical; however, I also stress the need to try new actions to break old patterns that no longer work but are known and familiar.
