Client Groups

I work with individuals, couples and groups, specifically supporting:

People with Talk-Therapy Fatigue

I specialize in working with those who have reached the limits of what they feel talk therapy can offer them.

I love working with therapists and other practitioners who are curious about the benefits of a more body-based approach.

People Battling Chronic Health Issues

I am passionate about resolving physical and psychological symptoms caused by trauma and/or emotional psycho-spiritual wounds.

“After six sessions, I can actually hear my body. Previous to this work, I was having severe stomach issues. I was throwing up multiple times a day everyday and it drastically affected my life.  When I went for testing, I was told I had ulcers caused by stress but since our somatic work, I haven’t been sick at all.” ~Claire

How We Can Work Together:

Intensives

For those wanting to work in-person but not based in New York, I offer week-long, in-person intensives. I will travel to you and execute a personalized treatment plan.

Somatic Support Sessions

Somatic support sessions weave together Somatic Experiencing, Parts Work, and mindfulness practices to heal trauma without reliving it. These sessions are intended for those who want to learn how to connect with their body in a safe, gentle and compassionate way. Over the course of a series of weekly or biweekly sessions, the client learns how to regulate their nervous system, move from an activated to a deactivated state, release stored trauma and tension, process stuck emotions, and self soothe. Sessions are sixty minutes in length and cost $200.

Family Constellation Sessions

 Family Constellations help us see the root cause of ancestral trauma and withdrawal from entanglements. Family Constellation is a unique modality that combines psycho-somatic practices with shamanism and energy work to reveal the cause of our suffering. This offering is particularly well suited for those who are struggling with harmful patterns in relationships–work, romantic, or familial–that they want to stop once and for all. This work is also suited to support those experiencing troubling and confusing health symptoms without clear cause. Sessions are ninety minutes in length and cost $200. Beginning January 1, 2025, rate will increase to $250 a session.

About Pricing:

Somatic Support & Family Constellation sessions cost $200. As of January 1, 2025, Family Constellation session will increase to $250 per session. I reserve a handful of discounted one-on-one session spots for those who cannot afford this rate in accordance with my Reciprocity Policy. Discounted rates are offered to those disproportionately harmed by racism, capitalism and colonialism. This policy aligns with my value of reciprocity, to return some of what has been taken through extraction by me, my family, and somatic lineages. I wish to make her work specifically accessible to those with ancestry from which I have benefited most: those of Central American, Indigenous Central American, East Asian, Indigenous East Asian, South Asian, Romani, Black Northern American and African Northern American, Chicano and Latinx descent.

This rate supports me so that I have the flexibility to provide low-cost and free group healing experiences to the collective.
