My clients often come to me stuck in "fight or flight," feeling unable to break patterns despite having deep insight. They are plagued by a harsh inner critic or intense shame, and always seem to be over-extending.... even though they want better boundaries. I specialize in complex trauma, attachment wounding, anxiety & dissociation. I utilize somatic and parts-based work to get to the root of your "stuff" and help the nervous system to regulate. If this resonates and you're ready to work with the body and not just the thinking mind....you're in the right place!
My style is warm and deeply relational, with advanced (and ever evolving!) training in IFS, TIST & Brainspotting. I have specific expertise in dissociation and DID. If you ever felt "too complex" or misunderstood by previous providers, you're likely exactly who I work best with. I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for those ready to go deeper.
If you've spent years hitting a wall in other therapies, you're not alone. Our work together is intentionally slower and deeper as we will focus on going inside, regulating the nervous system, and re-processing what has kept you stuck. It is completely possible for your patterns to finally shift :) For more info, please visit my website (link below).

Body centered therapy differs from more traditional talk therapy approaches as we will focus more on how to safely go inward and use your own body and your own inner wisdom to find true, lasting healing. You can expect to feel safe, supported, and in control of this entire process.

My approach to therapy focuses on getting to the root of what is happening for you so that we can find meaningful and lasting healing. It is less about simply coping and getting by and more about going inside, moving towards the tough stuff, and accessing your own inner healing. I have extensive training on how to guide you through this process in a safe and gentle manner.
