I offer mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy informed by Hakomi, EMDR, IFS, and Gestalt therapy.
My practice is grounded in mindfulness-based, experiential approaches that emphasize present-moment awareness, the mind-body connection, and relational attunement. I work with individuals and couples who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, and who sense that traditional talk therapy hasn’t fully supported the change they’re seeking. Together, we slow down and explore inner experience collaboratively, allowing clarity, embodied presence, and flow to emerge naturally. I specialize in helping clients reconnect with their inherent vitality, authenticity, and a more responsive way of being.

Discovering the Wisdom Within: Cultivating consciousness and tuning into presence-- I integrate spirituality into psychotherapy. These two pathways to healing are intimately connected, both offering important and necessary tools for deep healing and awakening. Psychotherapy employs tested processes to understand personality traits, events that create disturbance in our lives, and patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Spirituality offers us the ability to encourage loving kindness with all that we are. It teaches us to nurture and develop the inner observer, present moment awareness, non-judgment, and heart-centered thinking. Cultivating intimacy with all that we are--light and dark, high and low, superficial and deep.

I believe therapy is a space where you don’t have to hold everything together on your own. Many of the women I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they are becoming after life transitions, relational wounds, or long-standing expectations placed on them. You may be functioning on the outside, yet internally feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

The challenges of this life grow more complex by the day. To survive the swiftly changing landscape, we have been forced to adapt. "Head down, move along." "Silently shoulder your burdens." "Stay positive... or else." These adaptations kept us moving. Functional. We learned to hide from the discomfort of our emotions. It was safer not to feel. But we lost touch with vital aspects of our humanity. We grew numb. Complacent. Cold. This is the source of that pervasive feeling that things are "off" right now. The world is off center, and in a state of rebalancing. In the same sense, so are we.

You’re successful and driven, but who supports you when the pressure feels too heavy? I work with high-achieving, career-focused adults -as well as preteens and teens- who are navigating chronic stress, mental health challenges, work-life balance, and emotional growth. I believe that everyone deserves access to mental health support, regardless of their accomplishments. Chronic stress, burnout, imposter syndrome, emotional imbalance, trauma, and mental illness are common experiences that affect us all. The pressure to maintain a façade of perfection often makes it hard to admit that you experience struggles just like everyone else.

Gestalt Therapists
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
