About Me

I began studying holistic health in 1993. I have studied mindfulness based practices including T’ai Chi, Meditation, the Alexander Technique, Somatic Psychology and Somatic Experiencing, and various bodywork techniques and modalities. I have been a licensed bodyworker and movement therapist since 1998 and as somatic/body-oriented psychotherapist (Professional Counselor) since 2013.

I consider healing a journey into each individuals potential for joy and positive growth. My goal as a therapist is to accompany people through experiences that require support to understand and process.

I’m a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and I continue to study any techniques and or modalities that not only work to enhance peoples lives but also heal efficiently and with ease and comfort.
