Therapy is an inherently intimate experience that can lead to deeper understanding, meaning-making, and profound change. Maybe you’re here because of a significant loss, relationship challenges, or difficulties at work or school. My approach integrates somatic, multicultural, relational, psychodynamic, liberation, and narrative based perspectives. I have training toward certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), which means I incorporate awareness of the body and nervous system to help process trauma, stress, and overwhelm. In session, we work collaboratively, recognizing that change is ongoing and non-linear.
I enjoy working with adults, teens, couples, & families. I have several years of experience with grief, bereavement, crisis, & family integrated counseling practices. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I had a ten year career as a strategist and writer, I understand how overwork, burnout, & identity tied to career can impact day-to-day well-being.
Reach out if you are either curious about therapy or know what you're looking for. We can talk about what brought you here.
