About My Clients
I primarily help adults who, as children, experienced abusive or very difficult childhoods growing up in dysfunctional families, and who, in the present time, struggle with relationships, anxiety, or depression and discouragement.
My Background and Approach
I have a Master’s in Counseling and am a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (S.E.P.). My Somatic Experiencing teachers included Peter Levine, founder of Somatic Experiencing, and Raja Selvam. I have additional certification to practice and teach Somatic Trauma Resolution (STR) from my mentor Sharon Porter, who was also one of Peter Levine’s earliest students. Both of these modalities are powerfully effective in the treatment of abuse, loss, injury, and other trauma.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My 40-year professional and personal growth path—seeking and finding solutions to my own challenges—forms the foundation for what I offer to others. My mission is to help as many people as possible to release and heal emotional wounds and to rediscover joy and excitement in their inherent self-healing capacities. I have 20 years experience as a psychotherapist. One of my greatest joys is when I see a client get in touch with their feelings and discover trustworthy inner guidance.
