How I Can Help
Report
We all want to live our lives with relative ease, feeling strong and confident in ourselves, knowing we can manage whatever stress shows up in our lives on any given day. We want our relationships to be safe and satisfying. We want our work to have meaning and our lives in general to have purpose and be fulfilling.
Body-Focused Therapy
Report
I am a body-focused psychotherapist who integrates body, mind and emotions into the healing process. I combine traditional talk psychotherapy with a body-focused approach. I believe that the body is intricately linked to our thoughts and to our feelings. Because they are interwoven, the body cannot be ignored or left out of the healing process.
Trauma in the Body
Report
When we experience stress, distress or trauma, our bodies respond with a fight, flight or freeze response. We fight for our lives, we flee to safety, or we freeze until it is over. Our bodies can get stuck in these high levels of arousal, especially when the "danger" is repetitive or traumatic. We learn to live in a ready state to fight, flee or freeze.
Traditional Talk Psychotherapy
Report
In talk psychotherapy you tell your story to someone who, with wisdom and a compassionate ear, can help you sort things out. You identify old beliefs, feelings and behaviors that are not working for you. Once you see these old patterns more clearly, it is easier to stop yourself from repeating them.
