His background in mind/body therapies also enhances his expertise and creativity in working with situations of shock trauma such as car accidents.

"I knew I had some residual fear from how my last relationship ended, but I underestimated it's grasp on me until it got triggered again. After we revisited my experience, I could finally feel my sadness and release my fear. This morning when I left my apartment, rather than be upset, I felt calm and warm and peaceful in my body. No words can really express my gratitude to you for your strong yet gentle way in holding space for me to have this opening. I feel like I've finally fully reclaimed my body and my experience. Basic trust has returned. Please know today that you held space for me to make a profound and lasting shift in my life. I am eternally grateful.” --March 1st, 2009
