I work with individuals and couples struggling internally or relationally, and who seek insight and change in their patterns. I work with a mindfulness towards the way we are shaped by our families of origin, culture, faith, community, and bigger systems. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, self-confidence, sexual abuse, trauma, and attachment based trauma including CPTSD. I am particularly attentive to evolutionary and ecopsychology, sexual and somatic empowerment, parenthood, and nontraditional relationship styles. Clients I work with are often seeking ease, clarity, balance, and self-acceptance.

I offer somatic psychotherapy, which incorpoates an awareness of the body, gesture, posture, breath, mindfulness, and movement into therapy. I have training in Hakomi, Relational Somatic Healing, polyvagal, and EMDR, and informed by ecopsychology and IFS. In relational work, 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 have been on my own journey of coming back to myself over many years. I believe that through self-awareness and relational work we build our connection to our humanness, the land, and a stronger collective. If you think we might be a fit feel free to reach out for a free 20 minute consultation.

I support individuals in understanding themselves and their relational patterns through attachment theory, relatoinal work, hakomi, and connection to the body. This orientation tends to normalize experiences, lift shame, and empower individuals in their lives. With couples I use Gottman methods and mindfulness based practices to support good communication habits, and explore deeply held dynamics.

I am somatically oriented, meaning while sometimes we'll just talk, I may also invite you to notice feelings in the body, the breath, and occasionally may suggest movement or gesture. I base my relational work in Non Violent Communication, the Gottman Method, and Experiential modalities. Work with me has a basis in mindfulness and noticing how things are connected in the mind and body.
