You may be new to therapy, looking for a change in therapy, or returning to therapy. You may be a college or grad student or an adult in a life change, chronic stress, or triggered by traumatic events. You may be struggling in relationships, or with feelings of shut down, disconnection or overwhelm (stuck ‘OFF’), or, constriction, irritability, hyper-alertness, or fear (stuck ‘ON’). Wherever you are in your mental health, you may also be passionate, committed, perceptive, & caring. Positive shifts & meaningful healing are possible with therapeutic work that integrates the body & relationships, along with mind, emotions, & spirit.
I specialize in stress, trauma, anxiety, & depression. I integrate Somatic Experiencing & Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experience methodologies with Polyvagal & Flow Theories, plus Self Compassion, Growth Mindset, & Wellbeing research to support you & what matters to you. I provide a nonjudgmental safe space, & bring gentle humor, curiosity, & steadiness.
I am an Assistant with Somatic Experiencing training & am dedicated to improving my growth, skills, & knowledge so that I can meet you from my humanity & bring skillful support to free, fuel, & energize you moving forward into your unique, sacred, & thriving self & journey. If this sounds like a good fit for you, I welcome you & look forward to connecting.
