Therapy

Psychotherapy is a caring professional relationship that is a vessel for healing and growth.

With deep attention to the inner truths of your natural voice, mind, and body, Essential Voice Expression encourages a reawakening of your creativity and core vitality. It is tender, illuminating, and transformative.

Our  work together cherishes and welcomes your unique gifts, and personal healing ‘medicine’. In the space of tender listening and encouragement, your authentic voice is compassionately received.

With the insight and breadth of the creative mind, the sensory intelligence of the body and heart, and the liberating power of intuitive vocalization, we access potent practices that vastly expand your innate capacities.

Cultivate your vision.

There is a generative mind within you that fosters your core aliveness. It is the creative center of your being, and the clear inner witness to all you do. It is the song you were born with, and it is your true expression of your soul. The visionary power of the Self is both simple and elegant, and no one is born without it.

As a psychotherapist dedicated to deep listening and awakening, my connection with you is rooted in my confidence in your innate ability to locate solutions and generate new paths of insight.

I have trained extensively in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and with Stephen Gilligan, PhD, integrating his model of Generative Change. I honor the wisdom of the creative unconscious, and the potential that lives there.

Be a student of your senses.

Your body is an invaluable resource. The key to healing and recovery lies in reclaiming the natural rhythms of the embodied human experience. Your journey as a client begins with listening and feeling. Emotions live in the body, and the body longs to be heard.

Somatic Experiencing is about paying attention. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I help clients witness physical sensations (without touch) and release past traumas. New connections are made with your own subtle sensing. Your ability to listen more deeply and trust the messages of your body becomes key as you ground and root your awareness in life. Like an oak tree, with deep roots you can sway a bit. And life is all about swaying.

Liberate your voice.

Your voice is not only your creative expression, it is your very real connection to the vocal vibration that lives in your body.

So many of us have experienced having our vocal expressions of self shut down, denied, and cursed. This marginalization happens on all levels: personally, relationally, culturally, and collectively. And it happens internally. The shutdown of the voice shows up not only as the truncation of natural creative flow, but also on an inner vibrational level. Many people feel uncertain about their voices, and vulnerable about sharing them.

In our vocal work together, we tap into a visceral exercises that allow organic, unedited vocalizations to emerge. We listen to the silenced or shunned places, hum into sensations and feelings, and sound into the growing spaces of the self. All these ways of being with voice bring one closer to one’s one truth. Through gentle practices that work with your own vocal vibrations, you tone and sing into what you are experiencing internally. There is no wrong way to do it!

Follow the voice of your own heart and discover your truth.
