An intricate symphony of energy in our bodies supports life; when trauma interrupts that flow, cells and molecules array themselves to restore it, in ways the mind may not even grasp.

Some experiences, however, overwhelm an organism’s natural capacity to heal or adapt in healthy ways.

Spiritual traditions mobilize healers, rituals, wisdom, and community to facilitate healing, and contemporary psychotherapy proffers specialists, exercises, research, and support groups. In my experience, an integrative therapeutic approach drawing upon all of these sources enhances coherence for body, mind, and spirit, as trauma is resolved.

As a spiritual counselor with a background in physical and social sciences and also in both clinical and somatic training, and as a human being rooted in an ancient spiritual tradition and people, I draw from various modalities, helping my client to nurture healing wisdom within. My orientation is to support personal healing, natural reconnection with internal, organic vitality, harmony, and intuition.

My life-long interest in understanding the human experience of brokenness and well-being for individuals and collectives led me to study various languages and disciplines including Physics, Sociology, Philosophy, Women’s Studies, Peace Studies, and the Jewish rabbinic tradition.

My interventions are intended to help clients through particular challenges for which they seek support, through a deeply integrative approach; our shared intention is to enhance their access to their internal resources for healing and resilience, for a lifetime.  I 

My intuition as a therapist is informed by continuous reading, study and thought, always with my clients in mind. I enjoy and nourish my own practice with deep work in diverse disciplines and cultures, attending workshops and trainings, consulting and supervising peers, reading and studying, as well as my own ongoing personal experience of spirituality, bodywork, and therapy.
