Therapeutic Approach

As a Gestalt therapist, I specialize in body-centered psychotherapy—focusing on breath, movement, muscle tension, posture, and body awareness to gain insight into psychological trauma and to guide patients toward greater health and well-being.

I teach patients a process of relaxation that can be utilized on an individual basis.

I use EMDR to treat trauma.
