Would you like to feel more fully alive? I come from a mindfulness-based healing perspective integrating body, mind and spirit. Together we explore the "roadblocks" that all of us unknowingly put up which use up our energy, cloud our vision of our life's purpose and prevent us from having authentic, meaningful and fulfilling lives. Healing and an improved sense of well-being can happen!

We know from experience how hard it can be to put the pieces back together after trauma. It can feel difficult to find our way after feeling lost for so long. Whether it's something overwhelming and fast, or too little for too long, these past events can continue to affect our present life, keeping us stuck in patterns of pain and disconnection. We become burdened by negative beliefs and often long for a more balanced viewpoint. Unresolved trauma can leave lasting marks on our wellbeing. Fortunately, there is a path to healing & wholeness.

With a synthesis of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and somatic parts work, I am prepared to walk with you on the path of transformation.
We all carry unique burdens of the mind, pains of our history, and cultural programming. It is true that we all experience suffering in one form or another as a natural part of life. It is also true that this suffering can be transformed and transcended. Through this transformation it is possible to experience a more connected relationship with the world within and around us. I am open to serve those experiencing PTSD, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and spiritual confusion. I am also open to serving those interested in cultivating meditation and other spiritual practices, and generally enhancing quality of life.

I engage a systems perspective that incorporates attachment styles, somatic awareness, mindfulness, trauma history, emotional experience, and spirituality.
I am a relationship therapist working with partners, couples, married people. It's normal to hit bumps in the road or shifts in the lifespan of the relationship that require growth, change, evolution, and/or additional skillsets. Marriage naturally brings challenge, opportunity, difficulty, and reward. Finding your way into greater relationship satisfaction and less conflict is worth exploring. Without blame, we will explore what is present and what is needed in order to navigate the current landscape of the relationship, moving forward into more of what you want and less of what you don't.

I help individuals and couples go from feeling stuck, alienated, and off-track to more empowered, connected, and capable of claiming the life they want.
Some of the issues people come to me with include: burnout or a career that no longer fits, life transitions, relationship struggles, self-sabotage, creative blocks, a harsh inner critic, people-pleasing, and the sense of not living up to one's potential.
If you're a self-reflective, motivated person—curious about your inner world and looking to make real changes—I'd love to work with you. I see therapy as a lively collaboration in which all the parts of you are invited to speak.

My approach is layered to match: in virtual sessions I use a blend of thought-based, somatic, and relational methods, including CBT, brainspotting, parts work, and somatic experiencing, among others.
Maybe you've spent years trying to figure yourself out. Or maybe you just know something's off, and you're not sure why. Maybe others don't understand, or maybe you have a hard time understanding yourself. Either way, you keep finding yourself in the same places: The same walls of emotion, anxiety, or numbness. The same relationship dynamics. The same gap between how you want to feel and how you actually feel day to day. That gap can be a really lonely place.
These are experiences I hear often from people navigating C-PTSD, relational trauma, late-diagnosed neurodivergence, or LGBTQ+ identity.

My work as a therapist for the past 24 years has been focused on helping people uncover what is most authentic, naturally resourceful and vividly alive in each person. The stresses and traumas of living one's life can deaden our connection with ourselves and with those we love. Emotional suffering, isolation, addiction and crisis can be powerful gateways to a deeper foundation of self-acceptance, compassion and inner freedom. Learning to utilize proven tools for recognizing and transmuting pain into the ever deepening and changing experience of your life and relationships are the foundation of our work together.

You’re successful in many areas of your life, but relationships feel like the one place where things still don’t fully click. You assumed that after building a successful career, a fulfilling relationship would be the next piece. Whether you’re single, dating, in a long-term relationship, or considering leaving a relationship, you can't shake the feeling that you're not where you thought you would be at this point in your life. You don't want to be alone, but you also don't want to lose yourself in the wrong relationship. The overthinking can feel exhausting, when all you really want is to feel connected and close to someone.

I utilize a blend of modalities, including CBT, MI, somatic, EMDR, psychodynamic and strengths based approaches.

From a strengths-based perspective, I help clients recognize what is right about them and support them in transforming the critical internal dialogue many experience.

I integrate family systems, somatic work, and nervous-system awareness to help clients slow down reactivity, understand each other differently, and create more connection at home.
Somehow, you’re having that conversation again. The topic might be different: money, sex, parenting, the dishes, your families, but the ending feels remarkably familiar. One of you feels unheard. The other feels criticized. Someone shuts down, someone pushes harder, and suddenly neither of you is even talking about the thing you started talking about. You love each other, but lately it can feel like you’re speaking different languages. Resentment builds. Intimacy changes. And even when you both want things to be different, somehow you end up right back where you started.

My approach is depth-oriented, integrating somatic awareness and attention to patterns in relationships, emotional reactions, and even dreams.
Many people come to therapy feeling disconnected—from themselves, from others, or from a sense of meaning—especially during times of loss, transition, or overwhelm. I offer a steady, supportive space where you can slow down and begin to reconnect with your own voice and desires. I believe this is essential in a world where we are inundated by others’ ideas about how to live and feel.

We have all experienced a shift in our "normal" lives; our usual way of being during the past few years. We are looking at our world, our society, our friends, family and ourselves and nothing is as it once was. During these extraordinary times, you may be questioning what life is about; the meaning of it all. You are not alone, my friends. Many of us are experiencing anxiety, as our once familiar "normal" has shifted to a new "normal". I understand this and you. We can work through this together.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
