Abundant life is possible via understanding yourself within a relational matrix that first involves your own being, including your body and the wisdom it has to offer, then extends to familial, romantic, career, social and cultural domains. As a sole practitioner who works with adult individuals, families and couples, my therapeutic approach invites you to begin or to continue further along your journey of self discovery in order to live an enlivened life. Through a depth understanding of one's early developmental experiences, family environment, interpersonal relationships and somatic experiences, talk therapy that incorporates working with your bodily awareness facilitates the release of traumatic stress and trauma that may unknowingly be preventing your experience of being fully present in yourself and in the world. My motto I have taken from Socrates: The unexamined life is the life that is not worth living. Regardless of the problems that create difficulty in living your life (anxiety, depression, grief, social relations, anger, abuse, etc.), I believe underlying the symptom picture is knowledge held in your history as well as in your body that potentially will provide keys to know what has previously been unknowable and mystifying. In such examination lies the path to change.
