I assist individuals in overcoming their inner pain, and learning to face the challenges of life from a place of strength, compassion, and connection. As your ally in healing, I can help you process the emotions, memories and experiences that may underly your current suffering, so that you’re free to feel connected with yourself, with others, and with life. Sometimes past traumas become trapped in our bodies and minds, and we need help to feel safe in ourself and our relationships. My approach is based on these principles: Efficacy (I use Evidence Based modalities), collaboration, individualized care, and warm relational connection.
I work with individuals and couples who deal with a range of concerns and diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences (sexual abuse, war trauma, complex PTSD), relationship dissatisfaction, and chronic illness. I also work with artists and creatives who are dealing with blocks or seeking greater fulfillment in their work.
I use a holistic approach to help you create the changes you seek, integrating insights from mindful self compassion, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt, Hakomi, and Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting for the treatment of trauma, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for treatment resistant depression.

Sometimes traumatic experiences can cause longterm difficulties by getting 'stuck' in our nervous systems, and continuing to create anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and PTSD symptoms such as flashbacks or hypervigilance. I help individuals heal these wounds with by providing a warm corrective relational experience, and integrating powerful somatic tools such at EMDR and Brainspotting.
