If you are feeling disconnected or wanting to learn how to more deeply connect to yourself or those you are in relationship with, therapy can be a place to learn a different way of relating.
I see therapy as a collaborative place for you to grow in the direction that you want and to reset your vitality. I have a strength in working with: couples who want to nurture their bond or need relational resources; people who want more emotional strength and capacity for intimacy; people dealing with the impacts of sexual or relational trauma; people who want to grow relational skills and meet challenges in growth with increasing capacity.
I believe that recognizing and creating change inherently includes our bodies. I help my clients learn ways to have self-influence through including the experiences that they are having, ie sensation, energy, emotion, and beliefs into the stories that they bring with them. With expanded awareness, new possibilities arise.
My approach is warm, engaging and co-created with you depending on your needs. My work is based in Somatic Psychotherapy, utilizes Formative Psychology, is experiential, relational and creative. I utilize EMDR to work through trauma to resolution, (re)build resources, and to offer safety in places that feel difficult.

Women's Retreat: Healing from Adult Sexual Trauma
Join me for a women's retreat in the beautiful Santa Barbara with other women who are looking to heal from the impacts of adult sexual trauma. If something you have gone through - no matter how small or big, is impacting your ability to feel safe dating, having sex, or relating to others, join us for a somatic exploration and group therapy experience to build strength and a sense of worth around the stories that may be burdening you. We are committed to forming a group experience that is accepting, inclusive, and well-paced.
