Do you wish you could more easily relate to others and experience the closeness you crave? Do you want to go deeper in therapy in order to release old wounds to find freedom? Most of us experience relational traumas of some kind. These experiences leave scars on our bodies and minds that can't speak through words. I will listen to and understand your unspeakable pain as a non-judgmental and supportive witness.

We begin by learning how to regulate your system and create safety. When your system is fully ready, we work deeper through Internal Family Systems (parts work), Gestalt Therapy (therapeutic relationship), and the creative arts. Throughout you will be understood and seen in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned human being.

It is my honor to work with you and witness your precious vulnerability. Much of my effort goes to providing a protective environment so we can work at your own pace and comfort level. Finding a therapist requires courage, and asking for help is a sign of strength. Call me for a free consultation and we'll figure it out together.

I work from a parts work model (Somatic Internal Family Systems) to help you find more ease in the world. This is complemented by Gestalt Therapy, which uses our therapeutic relationship to help you find connection and intimacy, as well as Creative Arts Therapy: using art for times when words cannot fully express what you are feeling.
