The truth is that there is no seperation between mind and body. Our body/mind strives to be healthy and vital and will heal when given the opportunity. Everyone has a unique process and holds the innate wisdom that leads you through your journey. My practice focuses  on bridging and integrating all aspects of a person to bring you closer to your essential self in a way that leads to health, meaningful purpose, inner strength and happiness.

 In practicing physical therapy for over a decade, I noticed that people often needed more than physical healing from injuries and accidents.  Many people had mental, emotional and spiritual components that  accompanied their physical symptoms.  This inspired me to pursue my master's in counseling/psychology to acquire the skills to address the person holistically  and to facilitate emotional, mental, or spiritual integration as well as physical healing.

I hold master's degrees in physical therapy and counseling psychology. I am also certified in Process Acupressure ,and as a yoga instructor. I am certified in Functional Movement Screen a series of whole body movements that detect asymmetries that lead to injury and degeneration.
