Every one of us can encounter stormy weather as we sail across the ocean of life and feel overwhelmed with uncertainty, anguish, and sorrow. When you connect with me, I am committed to meeting you in the thick of the storm and working alongside you to move towards healing. My approach centers around building a safe compassionate relationship with you first. Within this relationship, we can work with your mind and body, exploring areas like the effects of trauma on our nervous system, how to regulate, and what it takes to live in harmony with your hopes and values. I primarily draw from Narrative Therapy, Somatic approaches, and ACT.

I work collaboratively and sensitively with whatever issues you feel ready to bring forward. This could include relationship challenges, emotional reactivity, difficulties getting needs met, conflict aversion, poor self-concept, anxiety, depression and trauma. We may spend time exploring the past, but our focus may also remain on present-day experiences. Such work can help you build self-understanding, self-compassion and emotional tolerance. It can help clarify thinking and enhance problem-solving. It is intuitive work – I believe we can start pretty much anywhere, in any session, and eventually get to where we need to go.

Are you currently in a situation where you need to re-route some aspects of your life? Changing habits without a skilled, compassionate guide can be tough. Or maybe you have struggled with a mental health illness such as Trauma, Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, etc. until you feel as though the problem is part of you. You want to change but are unsure how. I seek to support you as you name the problem, identify and own your strengths, plan for and implement the changes you desire for yourself. I am guided by the belief that people can and do want to change and my role as your therapist is to be your guide on the path to a better you.

Feeling disconnected? Perhaps you're struggling to exist in a society that doesn't feel like its accepting of you? I specialize in working with clients who often feel they diverge from societal norms. I have special interest in working with clients who may describe themselves as belonging to these groups: Neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+, Ethically Non-Monogamous, Kinky, and/or those involved in non-traditional family/relationship dynamics. If this is you, now that you are not alone! My experience may not be the same as yours, but through collaboration, we can work together to help find the best treatment methods for your unique situation.
