In my many years as a psychotherapist and an anthropologist, I have often observed the power of shame to make those in its grip, including myself, freeze, disparage themselves and turn away from others. I struggled to find more effective ways to release clients from shame. Then along came Bret and Sheila's Healing Shame Workshops. Blending seamlessly with my experience as a family/couple therapist and my extensive training in various forms of individual therapy*, Bret and Sheila's approach gives me additional skills to help clients feel safe enough to break the grip of shame and free themselves from even its deepest reaches. In our work together clients come to accept themselves, discover internal resources and relate more openly to others. Proceeding without judgment at a pace that feels comfortable for each person, we shed light on the shame that's lingered in dark corners, lessening aloneness, and expanding clients' sense of who they truly are and can be. I see individuals, couples and families.

* My in-depth post-graduate training includes Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy.

I have been assisting Dr. Peter Levine, the founder of Somatic Experiencing, in his master classes for the past year, and have assisted in SE International Trainings for 12 years.  I am currently assisting Bret and Sheila in their Healing Shame training and am deeply honored to be included in this profound work. I come to this work with 28 years of experience in Cranio-sacral and Polarity therapy.

Pervasive shame affects so many people and there are so few trained therapists who work with it. It's not uncommon for practitioners to confuse shame with misplaced aggression and other behaviors. I don’t judge “resistance” because defenses arise to serve as protection. Much of what we experience as resistance is a brilliant resource. I specialize in helping to counter shame, especially from developmental trauma.

Come home to yourself and live the life you were meant to live. Reconnect to your vitality, joy, and curiosity. Feel safe, settled, and in creative flow.

I offer international Somatic shame-based retreats and corporate trainings. I also see people online and in person.
