My mission as your Therapist is to guide you to live an EMBODIED life.  The word embodied means: to give BODY to a SPIRIT. EMBODIMENT implies your spirit is experiencing it’s fullest expression of energetic aliveness in it’s container, your body.  It’s a feeling! Through integrative psychotherapy you can expect to learn resourcing techniques that will keep you grounded, present and resilient.  You'll gain awareness of who you are and be better equipped to cultivate what you want.  You'll fine-tune your intuition, release blocks that keep you stuck, and live more freely and authentically.
