Background

Welcome
I believe that people can experience movement towards more whole and satisfying relationships to self, significant others and the world at large. My background and general approach combine 18 years of corporate marketing and management experience with a warm, energetic, safe, interactive and solutions oriented approach to Psychotherapy.
My expertise is in Somatic Psychology approaches. I call attention to the way my clients embody their emotional world. The goal is to help, through awareness of the body, to increase awareness of one’s whole self, needs, desires, feelings and goals.
My approach to therapy is one of warmth, empathy, insight and a focus on goal setting. I practice EMDR (trauma treatment), Authentic Movement, Sensory Awareness and the Hakomi method. I specialize in HIV and matters related to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. As an advanced student in Emotionaly Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) I am available to meet with you and your partner.
