My Approach

With 30 years of experience helping clients navigate their challenges, I am passionate about supporting individuals on their unique journeys. I recognize that each person processes emotional energy in their own way, and I tailor my approach to meet those individual needs.

As a body-oriented therapist, I emphasize the importance of learning emotional regulation skills. These skills can be applied in the moment and also build long-term resiliency. My aim is to equip you with tools that foster lasting change.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can share your feelings and your story. It is essential that you feel heard and that my goals for you align with your own. Our work together is a collaborative effort, focused on helping you achieve what you need to move forward.

Focus Areas

Anxiety & Depression

As a body-oriented psychotherapist, I help clients manage and alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood instability. My approach focuses on emotional regulation to foster a sense of stability and well-being.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a key component of the skills I teach, helping clients restructure their thoughts and challenge negative thinking patterns. This practice supports cognitive restructuring, leading to a more positive and balanced mindset.

Self-love

Many individuals struggle with self-love and self-compassion. I guide clients in developing these essential skills, which are crucial for maintaining happiness and overall well-being.

Body-Oriented Therapy

I teach embodiment skills to help clients move through cellular resistance and muscular armoring. This approach deepens emotional regulation and helps shift attention away from negative thought processes, making it particularly effective for managing anxiety and depression.

Relationship Issues

I assist clients in navigating relationship challenges by exploring attachment styles, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, and addressing trust issues. My goal is to help clients build and sustain fulfilling, healthy relationships.

Each 55-minute therapy session is priced at $160. Understanding that financial circumstances vary, I offer a sliding scale for those in need, with rates starting at $120. This option is intended to ensure that therapy remains accessible. If you would like to discuss your financial situation and explore the sliding scale, please contact me.

At this time, I do not accept insurance for therapy sessions. However, I am happy to provide you with a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Please check with your insurance company regarding their policies on out-of-network providers.
