Clinical and Billing Supervisor, Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist and Certified Consultant, Internal Family Systems Psychotherapist. The development of a gentle curiosity of one's internal experience becomes the basis for compassion and authentic expression. This contemplative relationship with oneself can then expand, with clarity and grace, the way in which we connect and relate to others. Therapeutic style is interactive, while encouraging the client's inner consciousness to guide the process. Use of somatic, parts work, and strength based models that view individuals as having an innate propensity toward growth and health.

I work with individuals ages 18-35 who are ready to deeply engage in self-exploration and self-discovery. Through our work together you will become better equipped to recognize unconscious or unhelpful patterns and beliefs and replace them with a more authentic and aligned way of being.

I approach counseling work from a position of compassion, curiosity, and authenticity. Many of the challenges that we experience arise from disempowerment and disconnection from ourselves. By becoming empowered in our minds, bodies, and spaces, we can feel less distress, find greater compassion for ourselves and others, and experience more satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives.

I believe that therapy or counseling is an effective tool for deepening a conversation with ourselves. Difficult relationships, painful experiences, traumas, pressures and expectations that come from others and sometimes from within ourselves can confuse and distract us from being able to fully engage with ourselves and our life circumstances.

Given the level of community and world uncertainty, you may be feeling increased anxiety, depression, conflict, confusion and isolation. How do you cope with such enormous uncertainty? Working effectively with your mind and reactivity is essential to finding balance, strength, comfort and connection. My focus in therapy is to listen deeply to your inner wisdom, express more fully who you are, develop skills to accomplish this and make choices that further your positive intentions. Life provides challenges at the best of times; we need support when we are most vulnerable. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore what is possible.

Therapy is an unusual experience…You call a stranger, you decide whether or not to meet this stranger in their office or via telehealth, and the person asks you questions about your life that evoke the uncomfortable feelings you are wishing you didn’t feel. And feeling these feelings is often the reason people consider therapy: They want to feel different. My practice offers folks the opportunity to safely explore their wish and desire to feel more connected to themselves and within their relationships, to feel less overwhelmed and worried, and to feel less sad and alone.
