Approaches

• Many of my clients learn to reduce stress, compulsive habits and chronic pain through mindfulness meditation and related body-mind (PNI*) practices.
• Somatic Experiencing® method guides my work with trauma survivors, creating safety to access unresolved themes and lack of connectedness experienced on embodied levels. This may result in a healing of your physical and emotional symptoms, inclusive of depression and anxiety.
• I place significant emphasis on understanding the relationship between you, as client, and myself, as therapist, as reflective of your primary relational issues in life.
• Historic roots of destructive life reenactments are discovered in psychodynamic patterns.
• Simultaneously, I recognize the need to view you, as an individual, within a systems context, including that of your family or couples relationship.
• My work with couples examines the interaction between partners’ differentiation and their intimacy, as well as questions of spiritual connectedness within the dyad. I feel passionately about the need for this work.
• Finally, I enjoy working with individuals around issues of consciousness transformation and crises of spiritual emergence.

* PNI refers to interaction between psychological processes and nervous/immune systems of the body.
