Integrative BodyMind Therapies
Trauma-focused clinical support that blends manual therapy with therapeutic dialogue. Available hands-on and virtual.
An Integrated Approach to Healing
Most of my clients come to me after having hit a wall. In their psychology work, “just talking about it” has yielded insight but not transformation. In their body, what they’re trying hasn’t moved the needle on physical symptoms or limitations. They’re in need of someone who can work with them together.
That’s where I step in. I'm one of a small number of professionals cross-trained in both manual therapies and psychotherapy. My work sits on the intersection of both, but doesn’t fit neatly into either. I blend manual therapies (like cranial sacral, visceral manipulation, and shiatsu acupressure) with therapeutic dialogue to support transformation at all levels.
This often helps clients push through the wall of personal transformation. In some ways, I work like a mechanic: listening for where the system isn't moving freely and working across body and mind to create space for change.
I am no longer offering psychotherapy. You can read about why here.

Learn more about my philosophies
Vision: I’m working to build a world free of shoulds and musts, a world in which every person has space to find and live in their own truth.
Mission: I support clients in making meaning of their life experiences, creating spaciousness where there was once limiting beliefs, and moving into a vibrant, fulfilling life.
Guiding Beliefs
-
Life is a game where we learn lessons from our experiences, discover our true selves, and live out our life’s purpose. While this belief for me is spiritual, I also believe embracing it as a philosophy makes life more purposeful and playful.
-
Everyone has internal wisdom to guide themselves on their true life path. At all times, our bodies give us clues to what works for us and what doesn’t. Tuning into and following these nudges aligns us to our higher purpose.
-
Our bodies also have complex processes designed to keep us alive by avoiding risk. They are particularly sensitive to circumstances that are unfamiliar, are less certain to provide for basic physical needs, or could lead to social isolation.
-
Our inner wisdom and our risk aversion are often in conflict. Most client challenges stem from ignoring their body’s inner wisdom so they can avoid risk.
-
This choice to ignore one’s inner wisdom to avoid risk has wide ranging challenging effects on the body and mind.
-
Choosing inner wisdom and life purpose over fear requires healing at biological, psychological, social, and spiritual levels.
-
Other client problems are entirely biological or structural in nature. The path to wellness on these issues includes taking actions that are within the client’s control, and finding a strategy for surrender on what is outside of their control.
Principles of Engagement
-
The client is the authority and owner of their own story, and has final say over their goals and the methods we use together.
-
My informed opinions, assessments, and recommendations can provide a helpful lens for clients, so I will share them. I am fallible and clients are better positioned to understand their truth, so clients should freely disregard my perspectives if they don’t align to their inner wisdom.
-
All clients have strengths, passions, purpose, potential, and successes. I will always work to bring light to and encourage the good in my clients, and to celebrate every win on their journey.
-
All clients have challenges, but no clients are broken people. I will remain compassionate with clients, especially when addressing their challenges, accepting them exactly as they are today and not requiring they change in any way.
-
My work will be limited to areas in which I have training, experience, required licensure, and am confident in my abilities. I am not an expert in everything, and many things I have background in I lack the full licensure to perform in New York.
-
Clients have a right to secular wellness care. While much of my work is rooted in spirituality, I will be diligent in communicating my beliefs by tying them back to our modern conceptualization of the body and wellness. I’ll always be happy to share my spiritual perspective if the client desires.
-
I have my own right to work in a way and style that align to my truest self and is free of personal harm, so I will retain the right to choose not to work any prospective client, or to discontinue work with any client. I will always give a full refund if I choose to discontinue services.
