I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). Curiosity about the connections between mind, body, spirit, and emotions, and a passion for trauma resolution fuel my continuous study and training. Somatic (body) awareness, transpersonal psychology, mindfulness and movement are an integral part of the psychotherapy I provide. EMDR is also available for appropriate candidates. Both in current research, as well as in the work I do with others, somatic and mindfulness-based approaches to treatment are proving to be extremely effective at producing deep and lasting shifts. The most current research in interpersonal neurobiology and the field of somatic psychotherapy informs my work and guides my ongoing study, and I feel very lucky to be able to help others benefit from these exciting new advances in treatment.
My own lifelong search for meaning led to discovering the importance of mindful awareness and mind-body connection in the healing process, and that we humans have an amazing ability to heal, and seemingly unlimited capacity for love and compassion. The answers I discovered were not what I expected, and took a long time to find, but have profoundly altered my life. Somatic Experiencing and mindful awareness have been especially helpful in my healing process. Now, I help others in search of answers, because, as individuals and events planet-wide demonstrate, there is a deep and urgent need for the increased awareness and wise compassion that result from such healing.
