I provide both brief and longer-term counseling to individuals and couples grappling with a range of challenges, from life transitions, anxiety and depression to complex PTSD and dissociative disorders. Trauma is a particular focus of mine and I continually educate myself on the most helpful methods of healing. I am certified in EMDR and am in my second year of training in Somatic Experiencing. I take a holistic approach, and will work with you to explore how diet and nutrition, activity, sleep, belief systems and relationships impact your overall well-being.
Depending on your needs, I may use very concrete therapies such as CBT or DBT, explore issues of spirituality, or work with somatic therapies such as EMDR - or all of these. I am a strong believer in self-care and self-compassion, and will help you identify your natural resilience and the strengths you are already using so you can build on these.
I am a formal lay student in Zen Buddhism and have been a serious meditation practitioner since 1997. I bring not only an interest in the use of mindfulness to the therapeutic process, but a great deal of personal experience with various forms of mindfulness and meditation, as well as the challenges and benefits of practicing this.

If trauma is our focus, we will spend time discussing the role of the nervous system, concepts like the Window of Tolerance, what healthy boundaries look like for you and all the ways in which you can best take care of yourself. We may also use EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and/or adjacent therapies to reduce physical activation, increase resilience and build self-compassion.

When we first meet, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and what you hope to get out of us working together. We will talk about what type of therapy you are interested in and I will make suggestions for what might work best for you. Together, we will make a plan for how we will work together. Somatic therapies are my focus, but I am equally comfortable with cognitive therapies such as CBT.
