I believe that the deepest healing happens when therapy is rooted in connection, empathy, and compassion, so my first goal is to create an environment in which you feel understood and supported. Likewise, I believe we are truly whole when our most important relationships are thriving – including our relationship with ourselves. Strengthening these relationships is a primary focus of my therapeutic approach, along with the attainment of embodiment, mindfulness, and freedom. I work from a psychodynamic and experiential perspective to guide you towards an experience of authenticity and alignment with yourself, others, and the world.

Taking new clients in March. Seeking emotional support takes courage. I specialize in supporting those who struggle with sadness, anxiety, illness and past trauma (EMDR trained). I am certified through Postpartum Support International (http://www.postpartum.net/) to better understand and treat pregnant and postpartum persons and their families. An awareness of what you want to change will lead us to find what is working and not working for you and work towards your goals. I look forward to welcoming you and providing a safe space for you to explore yourself and find emotional peace.

All talked out? Many of my clients have decades of experience in therapy, yet have found little relief from their anxiety or depression. I work with adults and couples who are ready to go deeper into the unconscious mind to heal old wounds, change outdated patterns and cultivate a compassionate relationship with themselves. My clients have great insight, and are ready to finally embody and feel what they cognitively know to be true: “I am safe. I am loveable. I am enough.” Deeply knowing yourself is the greatest gift you can give your heart. Learning to regulate your nervous system is a close second.

We all struggle with some degree of anxiety, trauma, some kinds of interpersonal challenges. It really helps to have someone to help us navigate these struggles and build skills. As a therapist, I offer lots of ideas and practices, and the folks who get the most out of our work are willing to try things out on their own. I offer these approaches with kindness, authenticity, and a sense of humor. There’s no reason therapy can’t be fun!

Are you anxious and navigating more questions than answers? Do you have difficulty trusting your own feelings? Are you tired of putting everyone else's needs before your own?

I provide a place for individuals to sharpen their awareness and come into greater clarity within themselves. The therapeutic relationships I foster serve as grounds for spontaneous discovery and depth of care. I hold the experience of being human as a complex, tender, and multi-dimensional process. Through attuned listening, I witness clients make the unconscious material of their psyches and lives conscious. My approach is dynamic, meeting the individual and our work together as it evolves. My practice integrates Mindfulness-Based, Body-Centered/ Somatic, Gestalt, Eco Therapy, and Transpersonal Counseling approaches.

My goal is to meet my clients in the moment they are in, and invite them into a deeply safe experience of expanded possibility and curiosity. Connected more deeply to themselves, crucial feelings, fundamental beliefs and significant memories can emerge and be held with respect and kindness. Important individual and relational needs and healing can then be discovered, recognized, and realized.
