I specialize in trauma therapy based on a model that perceives current psychological issues as the neurobiological legacy of trauma.  I use somatosensory approach to stabilize symptoms and process traumatic memories that are stored primarily as sensory perceptions (image, sound, smell, touch), emotions, and bodily sensations without words.  I also use various art forms as tools for self-exploration, self-discovery, self-empowerment, and self-transform.  

 

My approach includes:

​​

• Expressive Arts Therapy

• Focusing

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP)

• Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)

• Arkaya Yoga (therapeutic yoga)

• Mindfulness
