As a counselor, I believe my role is to help others tap into their own innate and powerful ability to heal. Having a strong mind body connection can lead to living more authentically, understanding ourselves and improving how we relate to others. I work with individuals and couples to achieve their goals and live more embodied lives.
I am practitioner of Somatic Experiencing (SEP) and certified in EMDR therapy and Brainspotting. Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented therapy approach that promotes healing for a wide range of experiences. Brainspotting is a powerful mindfulness tool that can support resolution from life's challenges and expand one's potential for growth.
My hope is to create a space free of judgment to explore all the joys and pains we experience throughout our life span. I support clients who are seeking help for depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, chronic illness or pain. I am LGBTQIA+ and gender identity affirming. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation call to start.

Trauma includes any experience that has caused distress or feelings of overwhelm. It is normal to feel overwhelmed during life transitions and through therapy we can create space to voice feelings and start to reduce stress.

Somatic or "bottom up" therapies help clients become more aware of their body's sensations which can lead to a more resilient nervous system and increased trust in oneself. After learning these skills, I can support you in exploring past traumas, life transitions, issues related to family of origin and relationships of all kinds through EMDR and Brainspotting.
