I offer somatic psychotherapy for individuals and couples. Somatic psychotherapy is an approach to therapy that incorporates talking as well as paying attention to our moving and feeling selves. Every thought has a co-occurring physical sensation and feeling. Every movement we make is made in relation to ourselves, to another and to the world around us. By learning to attend to our movements, gestures, and postures as they arise in the present moment, we can access previously unaware sources of support, relating and insight that enable novel pathways for change and growth.

I believe as Martin Heidegger said, that we are all “thrown into this world.” We are born in a particular moment in history, into a particular family, body and place. These circumstances profoundly influence our experience in the world. I maintain an active focus on how our unique identities, abilities and ancestries are supported, or not, by our shared cultural field, and how dynamics of power and privilege play out inside, and outside, of our sessions. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds, ages, abilities and orientations into my practice and into this conversation.
