I offer somatic therapy, EMDR, parts work, and relational counseling for individuals, couples, and families. Couples often seek to repair communication, rebuild trust, or deepen emotional intimacy. Families come to navigate changing dynamics, strengthen co-parenting, or address longstanding patterns of conflict. Individuals may be working to heal trauma, move through grief, or find relief from anxiety, depression, or chronic stress. Across all of these, I support people facing daunting diagnoses, major life transitions, or spiritual shifts—and who are ready to engage directly with mindfulness and clarity.
In addition to clinical work in therapy and academic work in chronic-illness management, I am certified in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Parts work. I am trained in Gottman Theory, Emotionally Focussed Therapy, and the Realization Process. Across modalities I bring to bear my experience as a trauma-informed yoga teacher and a nondual meditation coach.
I know how challenging it can feel to find the right therapist for you or your family. I would welcome an introductory call, where you can share your hopes and I can describe how I work. You can also learn more about me on the website listed here, as well as on Embody Lab's "Find a Therapist" site, where I share details about my background and approach.
