Whether it is Corporate America or other professional settings, you're dealing with workplace micro-aggressions, feelings of imposter syndrome, overwork and the push and pull of personal and professional roles and choices.

Challenges such as anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder or interpersonal conflicts may emerge as symptoms of deeper issues that need to be healed

I believe in therapy as a space for healing, liberation, and deep connection. My work is rooted in liberation psychology, recognizing the ways systemic oppression impacts mental health and centering your agency in the healing process. I offer an affirming space where you can bring your full self—your joys, your struggles, your identities, and your truths—without fear of judgment.

My interest and expertise are in creating a therapeutic space for adults of all ages to get to know the workings of their minds and bodies so that they may listen to their inner wisdom. I help clients to identify habitual patterns of behavior that may have been protective and effective in the past but are now getting in the way of creating the types of relationships they desire - with themselves and with others. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe space where we can keep company with all of the parts that make up who they are - even, and especially - those difficult parts that seem to be getting in the way.

The desire to help others overcome mental health challenges and make a significant, positive impact on their lives inspires me to be a therapist. Witnessing firsthand how therapy can transform someone's life and provide a healthy lifestyle in challenging situations is extremely rewarding. As a provider, I practice active listening, demonstrate empathy by validating their emotions, asking open-ended questions to encourage elaboration, maintain a non-judgmental attitude and focus on understanding the client's perspective from their own frame of reference.

I offer innovative solutions for complex challenges. Maybe people are using labels that seem chronic and don’t accurately reflect either what you are experiencing or what you’ve been through! Maybe you’ve had experiences in treatment that were not ideal or where you did not feel culturally respected or safe. When there is no simple answer for anxiety, depression, emotional pain, social exclusion, abuse or addictive behavior, maybe it is possible we can find one. I pay attention to things like complex or generational trauma and am prepared to help with things like dissociation, psychosis or hearing voices if that is needed.

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.
