Welcome!

I'm so glad you landed here. Talk therapy alone isn’t enough to break free from old patterns. Transformation requires engaging the whole self — mind, body, emotion, behavior, and spirit. The word “soma,” from the Greek, means “the living body in its wholeness.” An integrated approach is necessary for lasting change.

 

If you feel stuck, somatic psychotherapy offers a powerful path forward. It can help expand your capacity for joy, creativity, and authentic living by working directly with your body and nervous system.

 

The modality I practice is a dynamic, body-centered approach called Core Energetics. It combines developmental psychology, engagement of the autonomic nervous system, and spiritual development. This method addresses the  early experiences that shape our current behaviors and emotional patterns. The goal is to guide you back to your true self, helping you embody your inner strength and unblock your potential for vibrant, flowing energy.

 

I am honored to offer one-on-one sessions, available both in person and online.

I have experience working with young people and adults, and can work with clients ages 14 and older with parent permission.
