Somatic Psychotherapy Practice

I have been a somatic therapist and professional counselor providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy since 1991. I was introduced to BREEMA in 1996 as the result of a profound injury/accident, and began studying in 1997. Now almost 30 years later, this wholistic, inclusive, common sense, principled practice and philosophy has become the foundation of my psychotherapeutic work. BREEMA is simple, practical, universal yet rudimentarily human, and offers us nothing less than transformation.

As a clinician, I practice integrative, somatic, holistic, trauma therapy, tailored to meet the needs of each client and context. I am adept with a number of theoretical orientations and modalities, and work comprehensively with a myriad of issues- emotional, psychological, relational, and situational. BREEMA is always the foundation of my work.
