I have extensive experience with abuse and
trauma
issues, recent and long past and also work with anxiety,depression, anger issues and addictions.
Hello, Thanks for looking at my profile. I have loved working creatively with individuals, couples, children and whole families for 40+ years. I primarily do in-depth work with individuals and couples. I explore whatever issues clients wish including relationship issues, life transitions, anxiety, depression, important personal and spiritual questions, etc. I work with persons with a strong inner critic and/or anyone who wants to feel worthy, that they belong; who want to live fuller, more satisfying lives deeply connected to others and their life purpose. I teach and guide meditation and mindfulness to those interested.

Without meaning and the chance to therapeutically practice new insights and behaviors, we may suffer unnecessarily during times of high stress,
trauma
, or in daily life. Feelings may become like overwhelming floods of dread, sorrow or numbness, thinking becomes confused, panicky, and self-critical, joy is lost. Together we can make good use of your strengths, symptoms and external challenges. Through exploring and deepening our understanding and trust in your own inner world, dignity and liveliness may be restored even under the most challenging or enduring of circumstances, illnesses or problems.

Have you wondered when life became stagnant? Does a past
trauma
keep invading your present despite your best efforts? Have you experienced a loss that you still grieve? Do you stress over things that have not or may not happen? Are you not engaging in the life you used to or thought you would? Hiding your pain and feeling sadness, anger, shame, or guilt for experiencing it? If this sounds like you and you feel ready to take back your life, then you may benefit from counseling services I could provide.

Welcome to the first day of your journey towards healing! It can be difficult to find self-compassion in a world that bombards us with reasons to believe we are not worthy of love simply because we exist. I provide creative guidance in working towards self acceptance around symptoms that reflect

Whether you are a (soon to be) parent or adult the effects of
trauma
are still causing you problems today and you are struggling.
*Currently Accepting New Clients* I help survivors of sexual abuse and assault learn to love themselves, find their empowered voice, & create the relationships they want. You have always felt like you were “weird” & like something is wrong with you. From the thoughts about your appearance to the “strange” thoughts you have to feeling disconnected from your body, you have always felt like you were weird. You try to “hide” these things because you worry that others wont like you. You have always struggled with connecting with others which has left you with a small or nonexistent circle of friends. You constantly feel lonely & unloved.

Discover how to liberate yourself from shame, past
trauma
, false beliefs, doubt and internalized oppression so you can embody your unique creativity and power. Perhaps you have encountered a deep longing to express your truth, but you find yourself caught in a pattern or habit that blocks your ability to express it or believe in yourself. Some of these patterns run very deep and therefore I work with techniques that can really help us to get to the root of them so real change can happen.

Trauma
*Adoption *Anxiety *Depression *Parenting *Learning Disorders *Relationship issues *ADHD *Autism spectrum disorder *Sensory Processing Disorder *Psychological Assessments.
People are often hesitant to try therapy because they feel it won't work or believe they should be able to handle difficult things on their own. If you're willing to try personal trainers, babysitters, house cleaners, and other services to better your life, doesn't your emotional happiness or the happiness of your family deserve the same focus? I believe that it absolutely does.

We explore a host of issues, including: emotionally rooted physiologic ailments, medical
trauma
,
PTSD
, developmental
trauma
, grief, energetic sensitivity, assault, boundary setting, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, addiction, codependency, and transitional and relational struggles.
As humans, we are brilliantly complex, wired for connection, attachment, and survival. Our experience of joy and suffering are innately human and are connected to our physical and emotional wellness--inseparable realms. In somatic psychotherapy we hold space for the body to have a language of its own, honoring what it has to say, so that we may more clearly see what is beneath the surface. As a somatic psychotherapist, I am a collaborator, guide and mirror, supporting you in increasing your own sense of exploration of conscious and unconscious patterns of behaviors, beliefs, body signals and cues.

Trauma
leaves us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with the constant triggers in every day situations, feeling distant from family or friends, or overwhelmed with frustration with that nagging little voice that tells you that you can never be enough. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to enjoy your day to day without the constant mind chatter. You’re ready to find deep intimacy in your relationships without your past getting in the way. Most of all, you’re ready to finally find peace.
