My passion is working with children, teens, adults and parents who yearn to discover their authentic selves, explore and heal past wounds in a way that allows for deeper connection to all parts of self and to tap into, regulate with and respond to the wisdom of the body and emotions (your embodied nervous system) in a way that guides you toward fulfilled living. The approach I offer is shaped by my professional training and personal experiences as well as over a decade of work helping children and families through a local non-profit agency where I developed specialties in PTSD, anxiety, depression, body image and women's issues.
My offering is guided by the following post graduate trainings/certifications: Interpersonal Neurobiology, embodiment work, mindfulness, EMDR, Synergetic Play Therapy & parts work. To add, supporting the therapist’s journey is a deep passion of mine, offering guidance/support to utilize client offerings in a way that supports continued personal/prof growth.
I share a quote by Anais Nin that revisits me often both in my professional and personal journey; “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” It is my honor to help support your unique journey towards blossoming.
