I specialize in working with those who identify as women, using somatic methods that increase awareness of the body in the present moment. These methods allow past experiences that remain "stuck," within us to be contacted in the present and internal states can begin to shift. "Stories," or habitual patterns, that keep us from experiencing optimal well-being are interrupted and replaced with new possibilities. Somatic methods are effective in addressing a variety of treatment needs such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
I am a practitioner of Somatic Experiencing, a powerful, body-oriented method for trauma resolution. I combine somatic therapy methods with "talk" therapy to facilitate deep shifts that help to decrease stress, support emotional and physiological regulation and increase capacity to feel connected, alive, and steady with life’s challenge.
The most important factor in finding a therapist is a good fit between therapist and client. Please reach out for a complimentary consultation, to explore whether we may be an optimal fit to support you in working towards your goals.

I work with adult women at all stages and ages to resolve chronic stress and trauma, which encompasses most psychological "diagnoses," including anxiety and depression. Areas of extra passion and study I work with include chronic health conditions, birth trauma, pre and perinatal experiences of motherhood (preconception through postpartum), and ancestral/epigenetic trauma and resilience.
