In life, it is not uncommon to find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you but you are unsure of how to change. Perhaps at times you experience difficult emotions that you don't fully understand or know how to address. In my work as a psychotherapist, I provide a safe, collaborative environment in which clients can more freely get to know their emotional and physical states so that they may release distress and discover their more authentic self. I help clients to develop a more compassionate self-awareness and build greater flexibility in how they respond to the pressures and stressors of life.
I worked for 7 years in college counseling centers and hold certificates in psychodynamic psychotherapy, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, mindfulness-based therapeutic interventions and am am gaining certification in Somatic Experiencing interventions. I creatively combine these modalities into my work as I tailor treatment to each individual client.
I have extensive experience teaching mindfulness-based stress management practices and skillfully use the connection between the body and mind to help clients decrease their suffering and discover their innate wisdom and vitality. I find it a privilege to do this work, and am more than happy to consult with you about where you are and how I can help.
