As a body centered therapist I tend to work experientially, with movement and sometimes use cranial sacral touch to support nervous system regulation and healing. Individuals, couples and family who are interested in skill building, improved communication, self agency and self awareness while addressing challenges including depression, anxiety, relational issues, attachment dynamics and traumatic events. I support intention setting from the client's perspective and encourage their full participation.

How do we find inner peace when our outer presentation is wrong? Where is self-acceptance when the world around you is unaccepting? Your internal struggles are real, and you are not alone. Wholeness begins with healing. They say time heals all wounds, but some wounds are so deep it feels as though they may never heal. Asking for help takes strength. If you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma from sexual assault or abuse, and/or sex and relationship issues, let’s chat. Please reach out via email if possible

I specialize in working with individuals who have suffered traumatic childhoods (sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, neglect, domestic violence) or traumatic experiences in adulthood and are in need of trauma-informed therapy. Symptoms include difficulty trusting others, feeling terminally alone, experiencing overwhelming emotions, a fear of abandonment or engulfment, experiencing flashbacks, feeling worried and anxious about bad things happening, struggling with body dysmorphia or disordered eating, engaging in self-harm, substance abuse issues, feelings of persistent hopelessness, suicidality, or feelings of unworthiness.

As a somatic therapist and Pact level 1 trained therapist who specializes in EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Couples Therapy I work in collaboration with my clients to support their development and growth in relationship to themselves, others, and their environment. I believe that mental health is intimately connected with spiritual and physical well-being, in addition, a powerful source of strength, connection, and resilience.

Maybe you've been feeling anxious, depressed or your relationships are struggling. Feeling overwhelmed from depression, PTSD or anxiety can negatively affect your job, your confidence and your ability to be present on a daily basis. You might be thinking - "Nobody knows what I'm going through" - or have thoughts telling you - “You are not good enough.” Maybe you've felt lost and hopeless. You do not have to go through this alone.

Practice is full, reach out for waitlist. I help people who feel stunted by the lingering impact of trauma and early childhood relational wounding.

Couples therapy: I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy. EFT leads a couple to get right to the heart of the problems that keep relationships unsatisfying and disconnected. The goal of EFT is to help you create safety and security in your relationship so that deep connection can grow from the practice of honesty and vulnerability. EFT has been found to be successful with about 75% of couples.

I believe the therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst for understanding where we come from, and how our survival strategies and coping skills have benefitted us in the past, while also shining a light on which ones may be due for an upgrade. With a witness, and using principles of somatic therapy we can begin to excavate the limiting beliefs taking up valuable real estate in our psyche and put in motion an upshift of our self-concept. The therapeutic container acts as a vessel in which to recontextualize who we have been, who we are now and who we want to become.

Deciding to begin counseling can be intimidating! Maybe you've been thinking about going to therapy for a long time, or maybe something happened to you that you need space to process, with some guidance. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing difficult life transitions, mood and anxiety disorders, and those who aren't quite sure what category they would fall into.

“How can I reconnect intimately with my partner?” “How do we navigate having different levels of sexual desire?” “How do we rebuild trust after it’s been broken?” “Who am I and what does that mean?” These are all questions I have heard many iterations of in my therapy office, so if you’ve found yourself asking some of these same questions, you’re not alone. Whether you're tackling rebuilding trust, cultivating intimacy, exploring sexuality, deconstructing harmful self-narratives, or developing communication skills, it is an honor to walk alongside you during this journey, as you invest in yourself and your relationships.

About me: I specialize in women's issues, trauma, relationships, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. About you: You are intelligent, sensitive, and high-functioning. You appear to others as though you have it all together, but inside, something's not working. Perhaps this manifests physically, as insomnia or chronic tension. Sometimes it's more internal: anxiety or depression, indecision, heaviness, or an inability to move past a traumatic event. You seek answers to life's biggest questions, but sometimes have trouble hearing your own inner wisdom. You wish to feel more ease, more clarity, more connection, more meaning.
