About Me

I began studying holistic health in 1993. I have studied many mindfulness based practices including T’ai Chi, meditation, the Alexander Technique, Somatic Psychology and Somatic Experiencing, various bodywork techniques, and more psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. I have been a licensed bodyworker and movement therapist since 1998 and as somatic/body-oriented psychotherapist since 2013.

I consider healing a journey into each individuals potential for joy and positive growth. My intention as a therapist is to accompany people through experiences that require support to understand and process.

I’m a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and I continue to study any techniques and or modalities that not only work to enhance peoples lives but also heal efficiently and with ease and comfort. I’m currently also a Psychedelic Psychotherapist offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). I’m currently studying with various organizations including MAPS (www.maps.org) to include other psychedelic therapies as they become available for therapeutic use.
