Counseling Seattle

The term "somatic" is used in my therapy method to indicate the relationship our bodies have with the experiences of our lives. It is not a body work practice, but a form of psychotherapy that includes the voice of our bodies. This unique therapy deepens our understanding, through mindfulness, of the intricate connection between the body and mind, while shedding light on how trauma affects the brain and finds its storage within the body and nervous system. I teach my clients how to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing and transformation.

My work embodies deep intimacy, rooted in the foundation of loving presence. It serves as a transformative pathway, guiding individuals toward liberation from suffering where personal growth can flourish. In my practice, I employ a method known as Mindfulness-Centered Therapy based on the principles of Hakomi Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Focusing, Polyvagal Theory, and Neuroscience.

My practice can help a client discover how their experience has been shaped in the process of life itself, and how that shaping has led to suffering and limitations in the areas of relationships, accomplishments, wellbeing, self-expression, and connection.
