I work with individuals and couples interested in gaining insight into relational patters with the goal of empowerment. I work with those interested in exploring the intersection of how we are shaped by society and culture, how we are shaped by our ancestors, family systems, and our own beliefs about who we are impact what we imagine we are and may become. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, self-confidence, and relational conflict who desire ease and balance. I am interested in sexual empowerment and sexuality, and I inhabit and work with alternative relationship styles including non-monogamy.

I offer somatic psychotherapy, which aims to include body-based processes and awareness through conversation and mindful experience. I am informed by Hakomi, IFS, Ecopsychology, and Relational Somatic Healing, and offer EMDR. With couples and relationships, I have training in the Gottman Method, as well as Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy.

This work is important to me and I am passionate about it; I believe that through self-knowledge and relational work we build a better, more just world. I am honored to work with the people I do, and if you think we might be a fit feel free to reach out for a free 20 minute consultation. Wherever your journey takes you I wish you ease and the best of luck.

I use Internal Family Systems, relational work, and somatic work to explore present relational difficulties self and other and connect them with life experience. These types of issues can manifest as stress, depression, and anxiety. Together we'll explore work in the body, music, and/or expressive art to increase self-awareness and invite the space that leads to healing.

My work has a basis in client-empowering Hakomi techniques, and adds in an emphasis on relational and attachment based practices, as well as ideas from Internal Family Systems. Throughout all of this my somatic orientation flows; the body and it's experience is referenced and woven into all of these different frameworks.
