Through somatic therapies and trauma-informed approaches, I will guide you to relate to inevitable uncertainty differently, towards creating new possibilities. When stressful experiences exhaust our physical, mental, or emotional capacities, trauma can develop. Cycles of anxiety or anger, freeze and/or depression/collapse can occur. This unresolved trauma can contribute to anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and physical pain, profoundly affecting daily life. Working together, therapy will help you find out what reassurance is available to you now, in this constantly changing world.
Using relatable language, dry humor and co-regulation, I will guide you to gradually reconnect with inner resources in body and mind, as well as those present in & integral to our environments. As appropriate, I will guide you through reprocessing past experiences to gain new insights into present situations, towards shifting core understandings.
I seek to understand and discover diverse resources that can support all of us, and will continue to do so. I specialize in working with those with developmental trauma or PTSD, chronic pain or illness, healthcare workers, educators and the queer community. Therapy can help you relate to your body, mind, others & the outside world in a more sustainable way.

Sessions tend to be partially somatic and partially cognitive, depending on the client's needs that day, that time. Creating opportunities for you to lean into what is available to you that day is part of offering support that meets you where you are.
