I have significant experience working with substance abuse, trauma/PTSD, and parenting issues, but have passion working with anyone interested in establishing a sense of power, competency, and comfort in their own skin. I use many modalities, including mindfulness, somatic psychotherapies, and dialectical behavioral therapy. If you find that you feel dis-empowered in your life, due to low self esteem, anxiety, difficulty setting boundaries, addictions, trauma, or any other issue that has caused you to shrink from life and not reach your full potential, contact me and we can work together to help you find and own your power. I welcome individuals, couples, and families.

A practitoner of the healing arts for over 20 years, Mickey specializes in body-centered psychotherapy. This increasingly popular and effective style of therapy supports and works with the idea that the body and mind are not separate. Our bodies express our thoughts and emotions through sensation and movement, and our minds are continuously affected by the movements and habitual patterns of our bodies. In psychotherapy sessions, Mickey actively engages the body through awareness, movement, and touch to create interventions that deepen and support the process of psycho-emotional change. By taking the psychotherapy process from being a purely mental or intellectual activity to a connection with your entire body, you will naturally experience your true self in an accelerated and persistent way.
