Psychological patterns that constrict or inhibit us also live inside our bodies, in the ways we breathe, hold tension, or respond to stress. Working therapeutically with both the body and mind offers a profound potential for changing deeply held ways of thinking, feeling, and being in the world. Therapy with me is not just talk, but truly holistic in exploring the deeper layers of experience through attention to the body, sensation, impulse, imagery, and emotion. This process helps to get you out of your head and into your body, and generates lasting changes in how you feel and experience yourself.
Over time, constricting patterns are unraveled and a sense of aliveness and growth more fully emerges. This work is especially helpful if you are dealing with depression, anxiety, difficulties around intimacy, life changes, trauma recovery, or significant physical symptoms such as chronic pain or illness.
I have a strong belief in each person's capacity to live a healthy and meaningful life, and believe that even amidst stuckness, change is always possible. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment in which you can expand awareness, acceptance and expression of who you are.
