Humans, like animals, are biologically designed to move through difficult experiences and to recover. When we get overwhelmed or when our environments are highly stressful, however, our natural and innate healing processes can get disrupted. In spite of this, when we have sufficient resources and the kind of support that we need, our bodies show us the path to recovery.

Working with physical symptoms that:
- are often poorly understood from a medical perspective
- may fit no clear diagnosis despite extensive workup
- come and go in seemingly unpredictable ways
- frequently have been unresponsive to treatment
- often have no known effective treatment
- may be related to stressful or traumatic events
- ... more

Working with unusual symptoms, such as unexplained chronic pain; heart palpitations; globus (sense of throat tightness); tinnitus (ringing in the ears)...

Working with chronic illnesses, such as fibromyalgia, lupus, diabetes, rheumatoid arthrits, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis, among others (more).


As a somatic psychotherapist and trauma therapist, I do not presume to know the answers. Rather, my task is about empowerment and working with you to understand and recognize your body's inherent wisdom, which shows us where to go. The answers actually lie within you, and within each and every one of us.

My background as a family physician and educator informs this work (more).
