Whether you are looking to address stress and/or anxiety, heal from past trauma, work with ADHD effectively, or make shifts in your current approach to life, my intention is to help you live in greater alignment. I believe that life offers a full range of experiences including experiences we may identify as pleasant and those which seem less pleasant (often learning opportunities in disguise). It has been my experience that when we align with our truth and open up to all parts of ourselves as well as to all of our experiences, we can live life more fully with less fear and shame, perhaps grounding into our highest Self.

I use a holistic approach to honor the whole person, encouraging clients to connect with their whole-ness throughout their healing process. Recognizing that we are not always ready to embrace all of our experiences (particularly unpleasant ones), I honor the pace of my clients allowing them to indicate readiness. Choice is foundational in my approach.

I specialize in counseling women & women+ of all ages who have experienced complex trauma - repetitive & cumulative trauma often over a prolonged period of time & in the context of certain relationships where trust & safety is expected. I offer the choice of IFS, EMDR, &/or Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga for trauma recovery. I also specialize in ADHD.

Our work together will look different for everyone based on your expressed needs of and intentions for therapy, depending on where you are at in your healing journey. That said, one of my guiding principles is a quote from Judith Herman: "No intervention that takes power away from the survivor can possibly foster her recovery, no matter how much it appears to be in her immediate best interest."
