If there is a single definition of healing it is to touch with mercy and awareness those pains from which we have withdrawn in judgment and dismay.

PLEASE NOTE:
I am no longer seeing private clients. Watch for news on this site about my guided meditation and imagery CDs, which will be available soon.

Welcome
This is a place where you can find support and inspiration.
It's hard to be positive when life feels out of balance. You may feel stuck and not know what to do. Maybe you feel as though anxiety, depression, health concerns or a painful past have taken control.
Your journey toward emotional well being and living an inspired
life is a worthwhile one. I'm on that journey, too, and have discovered that coming back into balance takes an approach that gives attention to mind and body.
There is plenty of evidence that verifies what you may already know: body-mind therapies are powerfully healing and work better for many people than just talking alone.

I help people reconnect to their inner voice. Instead of getting rid of your uncomfortable feelings, you can learn to listen to them. Your feelings give you vital information. This is the key to making healthy decisions and creating change.
You don't have to figure it all out by yourself. Let yourself be heard in a nurturing environment. Whatever your culture, orientation or world view is, you are safe and welcome.
Call 202.210.9412 or email carmen@bodymindtranquility.com so we can talk about how you can heal and become your best self.

How We Work Together
Talk Therapy
In talk therapy, we can uncover and resolve the
underlying causes of your discomfort. This will free you
to focus on your life goals and enjoy healthier relationships.
The healing power of talk therapy is based on open and honest conversation between you
and a trained therapist. Through dialogue, you can gain a clearer understanding of who you are in the world. Then you can use this insight to create change.
Body Psychotherapy
I specialize in body-mind treatment approaches. This means I'm trained to use breath, mindfulness and body awareness in your psychotherapy session.
Mind-body research verifies that emotions and mental health are inherently connected to your body.
Your body and how it processes feelings has wisdom to offer.
Expressive Arts Therapies
Creative arts in therapy promote healthy expression, self-esteem and healing, so I use expressive arts therapies with interested clients. This includes the use of art, poetry, journal writing, drama and movement.
