I support individuals who may have experienced confusing and distressing familial relationships either in childhood or adulthood. This may manifest as painful interpersonal dynamics later in life, and can create complex feelings about "home." I specialize in trauma work for adults, children and adolescents. Our work together can facilitate transformation and create new possibilities. It would be an honor to support you.

Sunshine, fresh air, and additional air filtration at the 2421 Fourth Street office address. My small dog Rio attends sessions.

Working together, I will commit to understanding your challenges and helping you find relief. We will make use of research-based approaches that include mindfulness practices, body-based explorations, and the interpretation of dreams and symbols. I offer an educational approach to making sense of childhood experiences and present-day challenges.

I understand how challenging it can be to begin. All of your thoughts and questions are very welcome. I offer free phone consultations before our first session. Please feel free to contact me through phone or email.

I often combine body-based and talk therapy approaches. In your first sessions, we will mostly talk and explore what's bringing you to therapy. After some sessions, I will invite you to place attention on how you are feeling in your body in the present moment, and then we might use breath or movement to support you. I always check in about how our work is going and invite your feedback.
