Holistic healing takes the whole person into account, their history as well as their physical, mental, emotional & spiritual state of being. All these variables determine my treatment approach which I carefully individualize for each client. My own personal journey began by studying psychology.  I became more & more aware of my own unconscious issues & negative behavior patterns that created difficulty in my life. Over time I came to realize in order to walk clients through their healing journey I needed to explore & walk through my own as well.  This began my quest to understand & heal my wounded parts. I began years of psychotherapy both individual & group as I continued my education obtaining a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University and a Post-Masters Certification in child, adolescent and family psychotherapy from Fordham University. I am grateful to my many mentors & teachers along the way who encouraged me to continue on this path of healing & learning. Eventually I dove into a very intense 2 year program of learning & healing uncovering past traumas & wounds  that I had buried. This was done with experiential learning, hypnotherapy, shamanic healing, rebirthing, holotropic breath-work & past life regression, much of which I now use in my treatment with clients. Another effective technique I have been practicing & studying for PTSD called SE, or Somatic Experience. This is the powerful cutting edge trauma based somatic work of Peter Levine, a renowned Trauma therapist.
