Feeling trapped? Held back from doing what you really want, or internally pressured into doing something that you don’t want stuck? I believe much of our human suffering is 
unnecessary and arises out of our struggles in relating – relating with ourselves, our spouse, our children, our friends, coworkers and bosses, and even our relationship with “the other.” When we slow down and purposefully examine how we find ourselves stuck in relationship, we often gain insight into habitual patterns that formed years ago as a result of our early childhood relationships. Through the process of making contact and forming connection in the present, we learn to relate more authentically, and through relating on deeper levels we learn to transcend old habits and find relief from unnecessary suffering.
When our style of relating and avoiding inhibits our full range of expression and connection, we may suffer from a variety of psychological and somatic afflictions. Depression, rage, addiction, anxiety, chronic tension, and general discontent are some of the more common manifestations of chronic emotional disregulation and shutdown.
I enjoy and thrive in helping others heal these wounds through developing and deepening human connection. Through a somatic (body centered), mindful approach to relationship that includes, but goes beyond traditional talk therapy into the realm of the direct experience of living, we learn to relate more openly and freely with ourselves and others, and find deep, lasting change.
