I believe that you are your own best expert, and you have wisdom, resilience and the capacity to heal and grow. This is true even when you feel lost, stuck and overwhelmed. My intention is to offer you a non-judgmental and supportive space to share the stories of who you are and to look at what is and isn’t working in your life. In this space, you can explore difficult feelings, come to know and appreciate yourself more fully, build resilience and new skills, and create a life that is more of what you want. We can work together to help you be more connected to yourself and the world, and to feel more present and alive.
My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative and curious. Common themes in my work include family of origin trauma, identity, relationships, uncertainty, shame, anxiety, and intimacy. I am guided by Hakomi and body-centered therapies, feminist approaches, parts work/Internal Family Systems, Lifespan Integration, and my relationship with the natural world.
My work is rooted in an attachment and relational perspective and the belief that all healing work is part of collective liberation. My practice is trauma-informed, sex-positive, kink-friendly, non-monogamy experienced, and affirming of all genders and sexualities. Reach out for a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

Many of my clients are looking for a place to work through and shift the impacts of earlier life experiences of trauma and grief. These impacts can include relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, and a sense of disorientation. Most people I work with are looking for a deeper sense of connection with themselves and greater access to feelings of joy, calm, trust, resilience and pleasure.

I often use Hakomi therapy with clients. Hakomi is a gentle and experiential therapy that uses mindfulness and body-awareness to examine and shift longstanding patterns and experiences of self and others that are no longer helpful. I use Lifespan Integration for body-based trauma processing and integration. I use CBT, DBT, and Parts Work (often called IFS) when helpful.
