Services
I have a BA in Sociology and Human Services and a MA in Counseling. I have worked in human services for over 25 years and have been in private practice for 15 years. I am interested in health and holistic wellness, dance and movement, sustainable living, and innovative designs and solutions. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to assess your needs.
I specialize in mindfulness, self-compassion, embodied practices and somatic therapy modalities that connect the mind and body for effective and lasting results at reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and other challenging life transitions. I believe optimal wellness comes from feeling connected to our essential, wise nature within and to the larger natural world around us.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a somatic therapy in which the hemispheres of the brain and body are stimulated using rapid eye movement or other bilateral stimulus. The hypothesis is that when the eyes move this way, as they do in REM sleep, a cross-brain wave pattern is produced that allows a person to both access memories of a trauma and process the emotions surrounding it.
I work with creative types including performers, artists, athletes, professionals and entrepreneurs to increase confidence, clear self-doubt and limiting beliefs, and enhance performance to new levels. EMDR therapy and mindfulness practices are great additions to your current training techniques and can clear negative beliefs that keep you stuck from getting to the next level in relationships or in your work.
It is a hopeful time for trauma therapists and their clients alike as the body of research on effective treatments for those living with symptoms of PTSD and CPTSD continues to evolve and provide real solutions and successful recovery outcomes. I have enjoyed increased time for continuing education study this summer and am particularly excited to continue to share Mindful Self-Compassion Therapy practices with you.
