"In 2012, after more than twenty years working in the financial world, I decided to take an introspective look at my life. I’d always been a curious problem solver, in business and in my personal life, but I longed for an approach that felt more creative than traditional talk therapy. I’d heard about personal growth work that allowed people to physically and verbally express themselves in order to find happiness at the center of their lives. So began my work with a therapist whose focus is the body-centered psychotherapeutic approach of core energetics.

My personal exploration allowed me to make more choices that felt honest and authentic to me.

Through this process, I realized that I wanted to help others, and decided to make this my profession. This somatic-psychotherapeutic approach has done great things for me in my life and I have witnessed the impact it can have on others. I am grateful I have found my way to this work and am eager to help others find greater satisfaction in their daily lives."
