I approach this work as a collaboration. In my 20+ years of experience I have found that therapy works because it offers the time and a safe space to identify what is going on in our life and be witnessed. That process is the beginning of healing and recovery. I specialize in body-centered psychotherapy to achieve this goal. Many diagnoses are missed, such as ADHD in adults until they listen to their bodies. Clients will learn that our bodies possess the knowledge we need to heal and live healthy and productively. My primary specialty involves developing body focussed mindfulness to increase full awareness and decrease negative defenses such as impulsivity, obsessive thinking, addiction, anxiety and depression. In addition, I focus on chronic pain to address trauma and its cosequent effects on the body. Mindfulness is a skill that enhances relaxation and living. I combine classic psychodynamic knowledge with body-centered treatment that offers the client an in depth understanding of how their mind-body connection works. Clients complete treatment with skills to meet life's challenges.
