I am deeply grateful for the privilege to hold space for people through some of the most vulnerable moments of life. I believe healing does not take place solely in the mind. Movement and exploration of somatic experiences can invite deep healing. I work to understand each person and am honored to hold space for individuals with different backgrounds and identites. My desire is to attune to the complexities of identity to bring harmony to different parts of ourselves which each hold importance in our lives.
In my work with families and couples I use Emotionally Focused Therapy. Partners and families learn to recognize cycles and respond to each other with emotional attunement.
My work with individuals focuses on trauma and I utilize Brainspotting. This approach was founded by an EMDR trainer. This practice bypasses the thinking mind and allows the body to heal.
Life is complex, part of our work is to bring alignment and listen to the wisdom of the body and spirit. My work includes mindfulness practices of non-attachment and compassion.
