Explore your psychological issues from the perspective of how they are held in your body.
A More Complete Therapy incorporates a technique called Core Energetics. This enables us to move our emotional issues out of our body, completing the healing that talk therapy started.
Core Energetics enables us to feel more alive and have more life force energy (chi) flowing through our bodies! It helps us open our hearts, to ourselves, and therefore to others.
When we explore the energy patterns in our bodies, we can discover and heal the emotions that are held there.
There are many types of body therapy now, forms of “somatic therapy” because they deal with the body. The type of body therapy I do is CORE ENERGETICS.
Core Energetics looks at your psychological issues from the perspective of how they are held in your body. In psychological development, the person makes adaptations to early life circumstances, some of which may no longer serve us as we get older.
We can actually see aspects of our personality (character) formation and structure in our body and see where energies are stronger or weaker, reinforcing our psychological defenses and weakening our personal power.
We do a body assessment (body scan) to see what your body can tell us, and then we put it into Core Energetic language: what are your basic wounds and issues and defenses and strengths?

Combining bodywork with psychological awareness promotes understanding and quicker integration.
Core Energetics has a unique approach, based in body energetics and a spiritual concept, saying that we have a Mask, Lower Self, and Higher Self.
- Our Mask is our defensive posture, what we show to others but also what we tell ourselves.
- Our Lower Self is our lower vibration energies, all totally part of the human condition: our anger, resentment, fear, blame, judgment, shame, negativity (saying “No to life”), etc.
- We never want to know about these lower energies, and try to avoid them. However, they are there, need to be processed, and actually lead us to our Higher Self, which is also our Core.
Our Core is the truth of who we are, our longings, our heart and our unique gifts as an individual.
Facing our lower vibration energies and moving them in the processing then frees up a lot of positive life force energy that enables us to feel more alive, more effective, more joy, and more pleasure in living.
This type of body therapy takes concepts from standard psychotherapy and brings it to the next level of healing—healing body energetic aspects, shedding a different light on the defensive pattern, and providing a psycho-spiritual option for healing the basic emotional wounds.
In Core Energetics, we do the body assessment and use body therapy techniques (“soft “and “hard” techniques) to release blocks and strengthen energies for emotional healing.
Soft techniques involve tracking energy with our consciousness and gentle interventions. Hard techniques are more vigorous with more active movement.
We do the body work in a context of psychological awareness, which promotes understanding and quicker integration.
I can help you see the truth of who you really are and love yourself!
Jasmin’s Success Story
Jasmin came to therapy because of depression and low-self esteem. Jasmin was in the healing profession and very good at what she did. She suspected she had a lot of co-dependency, which was true.
In her family of origin she had learned to “survive” by using her considerable skills to take care of others. She brought these skills into her career where they served her well. However, she felt depressed and unfulfilled.
In our Core Energetics work, we found that her Mask was “I like helping people. It’s my gift and it can only be a positive thing!”
But there were aspects of that energetic pattern that were rigid, stale, and stuck. As we moved that pattern energetically Jasmin became aware of other feelings of feeling deprived, resentment and anger. “Everyone else gets their needs met, what about me?” Her anger was very troublesome for her because it did not fit with how she wanted to view herself.
As she got more comfortable exploring and expressing her dissatisfaction and anger, she realized that her anger led her directly to her love for herself and her healthy awareness that, “I have needs too and I deserve for them to be fulfilled too!” Much to her surprise, the anger that made her so uncomfortable led her to her heart!
Sophia’s Success Story
Sophia, an attractive, successful young woman, came for Core Energetics therapy after having made some good progress in standard talking therapy. She still felt stuck and anxious, but did not know why.
A body scan assessment revealed a critical missing piece. When I looked at her feet, I could see that her toes were gripping the floor, as if she was holding on for dear life. (This can also be called “monkey feet” because that’s what they look like!)
In fact, this was a very early adaptation, since in her early childhood there had been disturbance in the home creating anxiety. Despite her previous personal growth work, her body was still telling her: Life is scary, you have to hold on for dear life, and actually it’s not very safe here on Earth.
In the Core Energetics therapy, we helped her feet find a way to relax, and connect safely to the Earth.
We helped her develop her safe way of grounding. We were able to then help her integrate the body work with her sense of personal power and effectiveness that she had worked on in her previous therapy.

Yes I do offer Traditional Therapy. This is Talk Therapy and usually is for people who are new to therapy or only want to work on a specific issue for a shorter period of time, but I am open to exploring what your interests and needs are.
Yes, I do Telehealth!
Over years of initial research, Telehealth has been shown to be highly effective. During the times of mandated stay-at-home, it is the safest way to do therapy! I do Telehealth by phone, FaceTime, Zoom, and a therapy video service called Doxyme.
Not all of A Complete Therapy can be done via Telehealth but a good portion of it can.
We can do: Talk Therapy, Energy Healing, Spirituality, Soul level techniques, and Evolutionary Energetics. We can do components of Body Therapy and EMDR, remotely.
During the pandemic, we cannot do Neurofeedback in my office, but you could buy a Personal Home Neurofeedback system (and I can guide you through using it and help you incorporate its effects into your personal growth process.)
A More Complete Therapy is a private pay therapy — the fee is $250 per 60-minute session.
Most Complete Therapy sessions include Talk Therapy, Body Therapy, Energy Healing, NeurOptimal Neurofeedback, and Soul Plan Reading.
- EMDR sessions are often 90 minutes long ($300) but can also be done in 60-minute sessions ($250.)
- The fee for Soul Realignment readings by themselves is $600 but when done as part of a Complete Therapy Experience it is $250 (for the reading, clearing, and paper work) in addition to the $250 reporting session (90 minutes.) [During the times of the pandemic crisis, reduced rates are available.]
It is possible to come for my separate modalities, and not therapy:
- If you come for just EMDR and not Complete Therapy, the fee is $250 for the 60 minute session and $300 for the 90 minute session.
- If you come for Neurofeedback (and not therapy) the fee $200 per session or $150 per session when you buy a package of 10.
- A Soul Plan Reading by itself (without therapy) is $400 and is a 90 minute reading.
- A Soul Realignment Reading by itself (without therapy) is $600, and involves the practitioner doing the clearing separately from the feedback/reporting session (which takes 90 minutes.)
Yes.
I accept insurance for traditional Talk Therapy sessions. (They can include some meditation, breathing, relaxation techniques as they are also covered by insurance.) These sessions are 45 minutes. I am on most major insurance panels, including Aetna, Cigna, Emblem, United Health Care, Medicare, etc.
