“The true self comes from the aliveness of the body tissues and the working of body functions, including the heart’s action and breathing.” - D.W. Winnicott

In a world that privileges busyness and productivity, the therapeutic encounter can offer a much needed pause. A place in which to ‘hear your own heart beat’. Together we can turn inwards towards the parts of you that may not have had a chance to speak or to be heard.

My journey as a practitioner began with an extensive training in psychodynamic psychotherapy; as my practice has evolved, I have increasingly been drawn to work with the body. Many of the individuals I have worked with have body or health related concerns, as well as emotional and psychological. This led me to train in body related practices that have a deep understanding, that to assist in healing psychologically and emotionally, the body and nervous system needs to be a part of the work.

I work collaboratively with people to understand their needs, and for many people the approach may be a more traditional psychotherapy. I have found however, that for some people, EMDR or Yin breathwork, which is a very gentle form of breathwork, are powerful allies in supporting growth and inner freedom, as well as moving forward following trauma. If you are curious, I welcome a call to discuss an introductory session.
