Frequently asked questions

  • Somatic therapy uses body sensations, gestures and postures as the entry point for mindful exploration. Rather than coming up with what to talk about, somatic therapy emphasizes the role of the body in leading us to the relevant content, memories, images or beliefs that can be addressed to heal old wounds and foster increased vibrancy.

  • The type of hypnosis I practice is meticulously consented, expansive and conversational. Non-violence and partnership are at the foundation of everything I practice. Hypnosis is safe, and as always we will go at the speed of trust.

  • I am not a licensed therapist at this time.

    Being unlicensed allows me to offer a diverse array of supportive interventions without assigning a formal diagnosis to my clients.

    I have completed the schooling required to pursue clinical licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and will update this website accordingly as my own vibrant path winds me there.

  • No. As an unlicensed therapeutic coach, I accept private pay & sliding scale fees only.

  • Sessions range from $50–$150 and are based on a sliding scare that correspond with client need and accessibility. Please see my pricing page for a more detailed menu of my services and offerings.
