Doris has been serving individuals, couples, families, and groups in private practice since 1994, exploring the interplay between somatic intelligence (body wisdom) and Soul intelligence (mindfulness).
Her practice, Soulful Relating (SR) in Psychotherapy, integrates Gestalt work, trauma-informed therapy, attachment theory, somatic and contemplative healing practices, NeuroAffective Touch and level 1 AEDP—Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. The goal of Soulful Relating is to connect your body with your inner Healer— your inner Youth with your inner Elder—and to transform physical, emotional and relational trauma so you are free to live an embodied life. By cultivating compassionate witnessing, you are engaged in making whole what human ignorance and unconsciousness divides.
