Patients often come to me wondering whether the emotional problems they are experiencing are due to a recognizable disorder and whether they may respond to appropriate medication. Often they have been treated unsuccessfully in the past.

They expect this to happen in an empathic atmosphere with someone who spends the time to get to know them in th...
In addition to providing traditional talk therapy, I specialize in somatic and nervous-system oriented therapy. My form of body-centered psychotherapy involves tapping into the body’s own wisdom, combining emotional experiences with the body’s muscular and physiological responses to produce change. Research shows that traumatic stress has little to do with cognition—it emanates from the emotional part of the brain, which is accessed through the body. I have spent 15+ years studying and applying...
