Personal Statement

I offer counseling to adults, young adults, teens, children and families. As a holistic counselor I believe that our mind, body and spirit are connected and if we can regain our sense of balance we can lead a healthier and more fulfilled life. Trained in IFS, EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to support those who have experienced trauma because I believe that symptoms of trauma can not be eliminated through traditional talk therapy.

As a holistically trained therapist, I also examine the influence of our family, and our communities, and the larger society in which we live. And I invite all family members to participate when it seems beneficial. As a student of Yoga and a meditation practitioner for more than 30 years I incorporate my spiritual practice as a means to look within through self-awareness and somatic experiencing.

I also have first-hand experience as a stepparent and adoptive parent with enhanced trainings in the areas of adoption, attachment and identity formation, especially with internationally adopted children.
