I practice body-centered psychotherapy. My background is a Masters degree in Expressive Therapies, primarily Dance/Movement Psychotherapy. This does not mean that we will necessarily dance. It does mean that I have the experience that the body is the container of all our positive and negative experiences. It is our expert witness when we do our work.

I offer these expressive approaches, as well as a form of somatic listening that involves sensory focusing, active imagination, and allowing the wisdom of the body to be experienced through the kinesthetic sense.

I work with adults who have a variety of personal issues. Depression, anxiety, trauma, body image, and identity are some of the questions and needs that people come to me to with. I have a spiritual orientation. This means that I see you as more than your problems. My commitment to you is to be as fully present as I can be and this calls for the kind of clarity that includes body,heart, mind, and soul.

I am available to do dance/movement therapy and authentic movement groups, as well.

My sessions are generally 50 minutes. Occasionally, longer sessions are needed to respond to the need of a particular client. I usually see clients one time a week. Again, this varies according to need.

My fee is a sliding scale between $100-$125. I ask for payment at time of service. Although I do not directly bill insurance companies, many of my clients successfully send my bill to their insurance companies for reimbursement. I ask for the kindness of a 24 hour cancellation. I will charge the usual fee if this is not honored.

Please call me as you search for the correct person to share this very personal work with.

I encourage people to interview a few therapists in order to get a sense of what your choices are, and who may feel the most comfortable for you to work with.

My office is in Newtonville, MA.
