About Me
I help clients understand and transform deep-seated patterns connected to addiction, trauma, and relationship challenges. With 25 years’ experience, I offer a grounded, collaborative space. Using approaches like Somatic Experiencing, I guide individuals and couples to identify underlying dynamics. We work together to change behaviours, building healthier, more fulfilling ways forward.
Approach
I move between felt experience and practical choices, pacing gently to match each person's readiness. In my Santa Monica office and via secure online sessions in English, we track bodily signals, notice relational patterns, and translate those moments into clear, usable steps. Sessions blend resourcing, targeted processing, and short between-session experiments to interrupt cycles and build new habits. Adults and couples who want both felt relief and concrete behavioral change often find this way of working helpful.
