Therapies Offered

InterConnectedness:

It is sometimes difficult to separate the work I do into distinct categories, because they so often overlap. Somatic therapy, yoga, and massage all part of the same whole. When I am instructing yoga, I often address spirituality and psychology. At the same time, I may incorporate aspects of yoga into massage and somatic therapy.

I do, however, distinguish clear boundaries with somatic therapy. While touch may be a part of somatic therapy sessions, traditional massage is not. In order for boundaries to remain clear, clients who see me for somatic therapy may not see me for massage therapy. Massage therapy clients who wish to transition to somatic therapy will be referred to another massage therapist.

Clients Served:

I have worked with a wide variety of issues including: sadness & depression, seasonal affectation disorder, post-traumatic stress, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, incest, stress, panic, obsession/compulsion, kleptomania, writers block, creativity, spirituality, work, family dynamics, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexuality, relationships, eating disorders, body image, and rights-of-passage.

Practice Parameters :

Every therapist is responsible for not working beyond the limitations of her or his training. As I carry the same responsibilities, there are certain populations and issues with which I am not trained to work. Some of those are children, adolescents younger than 16, heavy drug or alcohol addiction, autism and personality disorders. Should I determine that you would be better served by another therapist, I will be happy to provide an appropriate referral.

Spring News

I am having knee surgery in March so I won't be seeing clients until the beginning of May. Please check back in the summer for updated information.

Public Yoga Class

I am currently not teaching yoga as I am recovering from knee surgery - I don't imagine I'll be regularly teaching public yoga classes until the end of the summer. I will provide private sessions as my knee permit. Please see the Yoga Elements website for local classes by other teachers.
