My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that mental health should be understood within the context of a person’s life, never condescending or one-size-fits-all, and ideally, with a sense of lightness and even humor. I recognize that while mental illness can feel like an overwhelming challenge at times, it often coexists with unique qualities and strengths that can deepen a person’s understanding of themselves and the world around them. Our work is rooted in the belief that mental health is a deeply personal and cultural experience, shaped by our individual histories, identities, and the social environments we navigate.

I meet all my clients with empathy, compassion, and curiosity in order to support an authentic expression of feelings and needs. The path towards authentic expression is unique to each individual depending on their background, their experience with therapy and their specific therapeutic goals. As a somatic psychotherapist I welcome both goals/ challenges that are cognitively known as well as the unknown, that might just express itself as temporary or chronic tension or pain in the body.
My psychotherapy practice is informed by twenty years of meditation, mindfulness and mindful self-compassion practice and teaching.

I practice each intervention through distinctive situations my clients may experience when living with trauma and mental health which can develop symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and co-occurring addictive disorders.
Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

They're ready to do the work they just need a safe, supportive place to begin.

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
