Growing up, we are taught that our mind has the answers. A somatic approach acknowledges that much of what we are trying to access in therapy—our deepest knowing as well as our traumas—lives in the body. We will slowly, gently attune to the body and use it as an untapped additional source of wisdom, helping to create a sense of wholeness and alignment.

Much of the effectiveness of therapy is dependent on the strength of the therapist-client relationship. Together we will build a warm, honest, authentic relationship to practice relating in new ways and to give you things you may not have received from your earliest relationships, such as deep attention, presence, and genuine positive regard and curiosity.

I believe we are most fulfilled when we are living in alignment with our authentic self. However, we are often conditioned to align with societal expectations rather than our own deepest truths. I will help you connect with your authentic self and live in a way that is in integrity with this deepest, truest part of you.

We all have different parts inside of us—this is how we can both hate and love someone at the same time. Getting to know and learning how to relate to these different parts of ourselves can offer insight and healing.
