More Than 25 Years of Experience

I have spent over 25 years exploring my own mind/body connection and personal potential through yoga, meditation, hypnosis, triathlon training, rock climbing, cycling, fire walking - and most enriching of all, co-creating the most satisfying and stimulating marriage imaginable.

Years ago,  ​I created Yin Warrior Health, a program designed to heal our relationship with food, body, and weight, and BodyAwake, a unique form of holistic fitness which heightens physical and emotional sensitivity.​

My current passion is working with couples in varying stages of distress. Pre-marital problem-solving, married decades or deciding whether to have a baby or move in together!?!  Or maybe you just want more intimacy and connection.  Now is the perfect time.  I enjoy teaching communication skills and attachment styles and thrive on disrupting old patterns to allow for new experiences of connection and healing.  Are you sick and tired of feeling stuck in relationship patterns? I promise to introduce you to tried and true practices that can transform a relationship at any stage!  I’m a level II certified therapist in Dr. Stan Tatkin's Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT).  All couples welcome!!

An Individualized Approach to Therapy

​My style is engaged, relational, fun, and integrates somatic, experiential, mindfulness, cognitive and psychodynamic approaches. I have received training in Francine Shapiro's EMDR which is a comprehensive psychotherapy that accelerates the treatment of a wide range of pathologies and self-esteem issues related to disturbing events and present life conditions.

​I have also studied with Stanley Keleman, Christina Loeffel, and Peter Wright in the Formative Psychology™ method which teaches the process of voluntary management of behavior. The intent is to support individual expression, deepen somatic experience, and gain practical skills in using the formative methodology when working with oneself or others.  I also completed a yearlong intensive study group with Francine Lapides, MFT exploring Psychoneurology and the importance of brain science on therapy and treatment.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
