It's possible to feel safe in your body, to hear your soul's deepest truths, and to engage with the world fully embodied. When change is desired, the psychotherapy process transforms overwhelming fears, frustrations, and responsibilities into guides that keep us enlivened by our authentic path. I am here to journey with you; to help you create a place for your most sacred aspects of self so that you can feel safely connected to yourself, to others, and to the world.
I'm interested in the convergence of anxiety/depression/trauma, neurodivergence, and chronic illness and I'm thrilled to work with anyone who fits any or all of these descriptions. I have a long history of treating a variety of mental health issues through Jungian, Somatic, and Attachment lenses using Internal Family Systems, CBT, EMDR and Dream Analysis.
I approach each person as a unique individual with unique needs while holding a deep belief that the body-soul desires to heal itself; we just have to provide a safe space. As a compassionate listener I am honored to walk with you toward optimal health. You've already taken the first step toward positive change. Contact me to begin our journey together.
