I have discovered that whatever appears to be the problem is never really the problem and trying to think our way out of problems, never works. In fact, the problem has more to do with our separation from essence than what appears to be distressing. Learning how to relax enough to access our deeper essential nature – beyond our thoughts, conditioning and limiting beliefs, creates an environment for effortless and spontaneous change. It sounds almost magical… and it is.By combining therapeutically-based inquiry with breath, yogic movement and the deeply meditative power of Yoga Nidra, I will help you uncover your truth, find your authentic voice, unlock your creative potential and begin to live a bigger life than you’ve imagined possible.

As a psychotherapist with a background in somatics, systems theory, neurobiology, developmental psychology, learning theory and counseling, I have a unique perspective on the relationship between thought, feeling, emotion, behavior and belief – and how these impact your experience.By training and honing my skills, I can easily float between multiple perspectives, helping you see where you’re stuck, what needs development and where your growth potential is waiting to surface.
