About Us

Let\s face it, life events shape our present, and contribute to a loss of connection to ourselves, family, others, and the world. A recovered sense-of-self is essential for empowerment to face these issues. And, because this disconnect initially occurs in earliest childhood, traditional "talk" therapy alone is an insufficient approach. I am a therapist shaped by a myriad of life roles and events. I intentionally sought a PhD in clinical psychology with a specialization in "somatic psychology" to underscore my own therapeutic experience. Somatic psychology studies how the "body" informs and provides clues to our emotional responses linked to childhood. , By combining traditional psychotherapy with various "body-based" techniques I specialized in "somatic psychotherapy," an effective holistic practice helping client needs ranging from trauma to common challenges of depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship issues. I completed the Somatic Experiencing (SE) professional training to complement this practice. , Lastly, I understand the difficulty to acknowledge when our ability to cope, be in relationship, or simply be happy, has diminished. Moreover, the courage required to seek help. As your therapist, I assure you, I will not take you anywhere I have not been. Nor, will you be alone on this journey.
