Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or feelings of overwhelm? Are there painful events in your history that continue to cause you suffering? Our work together helps you explore these dynamics with a mind and body approach, and build your capacity for a deeper relationship with yourself and others. I am a Somatic Experiencing psychotherapist with a focus on post traumatic stress, to help you recover your authentic Self that may have been unsupported or harmed due to those overwhelming experiences. I work at a highly individualized pace, and can include your spiritual concerns, mindfulness practices, and behavioral change goals.
Somatic therapy works closely with the body as we process your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, building an understanding of your nervous system and how to better manage anxiety. I also specialize in interpersonal relationships, including parenting, intimate relationships, recovery from childhood abuse, addiction dynamics, and grief and loss.
I practice cultural respect, humility, and a non-shaming approach, grounded in my belief in your capacity for healing, and the potential for each of us to create more meaningful and satisfying lives. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you and answer any questions you may have about my practice of somatic therapy and your goals for your growth and health.
