Although change comes from within, humans aren’t meant to go it alone. Our nervous systems are hard-wired for connection and real connection with a caring other can make all the difference, in terms of healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation.

Taking a body-centered approach to therapy, I gently steer clients toward greater awareness of their own inner landscape. Through guided somatic practices, like focused breathing, body-centered meditations, and mindful movement, we might come into a deeper state of presence. From here, I point clients toward their feeling experience. Together, we begin to (1) notice physical sensations, emotions (as body experience), imagery and words, movements that want to be expressed, etc., (2) welcome and befriend these experiences, (3) offer support from a place of neutral curiosity, care, and compassion, and (4) make room for expression, however that looks. Emotions and other held energies may be processed and expressed through movement, creative arts, journaling, talking, crying, singing, raising the voice, and/or none of this at all. It is all welcome.
