As an MFT and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I work with a unique blend of traditional psychotherapy and a felt sense approach. I use several modalities (psychodynamics/ early attachment theories/ experiential/ transpersonal) with body awareness. My specialty is in the renegotiation and the resolution of overwhelming traumatic experience that happened "too fast, too much, too soon" causing debilitating anxiety, depression, stress and loss. With SE, I guide my clients into self-regulating the emotions that have become unmanageable and the nervous system that has been shocked.

Each person brings a multi-faceted expression of their true selves to therapy that can be unlocked with strength, courage, and the acknowledgment of one's right to self-determination and self-efficacy.

I collaborate with you to determine your goals for treatment. Your desires for the focus of our sessions may include removing blocks to personal growth, improving relationships with yourself and others, undoing past conditioning- especially related to trauma or adverse experiences, transforming shame, or increasing your understanding of mental illness, whether it's yours or someone you love.

Some of us experience extremely challenging, even terrible things in life, or we are not able to get over the pain or losses we have experienced in the past.

I offer an effective psychotherapy method known as EMDR for addressing such symptoms, along with a compassionate, culturally sensitive approach to issues.
