As a Certified Hakomi Therapist my offering is a Somatic Experiential Psychotherapy modality that is gentle, non-judgmental, and compassionate; a form of assisted self-study where the client studies his or her responses to explorations in a mindful state of consciousness. We become aware and touch upon the very organizing experiences that have been a part of our habitual life - the patterns that no long serve us. We increase clarity, creativity, confidence and awareness and break through obstacles towards ease, connection and vitality. I am available for phone or online sessions.

If you are browsing through this website then you're most likely trying to find help with something in your life that you've been struggling with for for years. Maybe it's depression or anxiety and you need help trying to manage it, someone to hold it with you. Perhaps you have a hard time staying in a relationship for any length of time? Or maybe you're holding onto the secret of sexual abuse as a child or teen and have never told anyone. Sometimes things shatter and we don't know why, but it does. Life shatters us. I would love the privilege of walking with you. We can do it together. You don't have to do it alone anymore.

I am accepting new clients and work in person and through telehealth.
Do you feel anxious, depressed and struggle in relationships with others and with yourself? Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to share these struggles with someone who comes to know you well. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship involving listening and encouraging expression of your thoughts and feelings, sharing possible links from the past and present which can lead to insight and change in troubling areas. I have been in practice for 8 years and bring my training, life experiences and compassion to this work.

I help clients to feel like they are in the driver's seat of their lives by facilitating clarity amidst the chaos of distractions that impede engagement in their present experience. I believe the fundamental vehicle of change is the relationship between the counselor and the client. For me, therapy is a collaborative approach in which the therapist helps clients confront issues by staying present and exploring their narratives and relationships through different dynamics and perspectives.

Waitlist for new clients
Through a gentle invitation, I ask clients to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment as they arise and pass, nestling into the session as a place of safety and becoming grounded by the observance of breath. This natural unfolding helps to create spaciousness so that we can begin to navigate through the less than comfortable places within ourselves, looking at them squarely and experiencing them as they are, without repression or indulgence.

I believe strongly that we each have deeply rooted wisdom that helps us survive and grow. By coming to trust our wisdom and intuition we establish a strong foundation of learning to navigate an ever-changing world. My role is to witness and enter into this process with you as a guide into the unknown through healing exploration. When we can be compassionately curious with ourselves, the stored/protected unconscious begins to emerge and we then have the opportunity to practice new ways of being in the world that feel good to us. Healing is the process of creating space for and integrating aspects of ourselves that need honoring.

Mental health is varied and complex. Emotional pain can be overwhelming, frustrating, and confusing. Each person is unique and brings their own set of circumstances, their own past, thoughts, and experience to therapy. I see people who struggle from a variety of issues and symptoms. Some of these include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, frustration, academic or work difficulties, relationship issues, communication issues, poor concentration and attention, sexual issues, and grief. This list is incomplete, but hopefully it opens up the range of things that can be talked about in therapy and worked with over time.

My healing begins from a place of connection and an appreciation of your potential and the power we have to impact each other. I will support you in your search for greater meaning, emotional awareness and empowerment in a world that can be overwhelming and isolating. We will begin a thoughtful exploration of how your past experiences and relationships impact you presently. Together we can uncover and co-create new meanings out of your experiences, and these new understandings can give you the power to relate differently to yourself and others.

Do you want to feel confident, at peace, trusting of yourself, and more connected in relationships, but feel stuck in some of this instead?: if I stop pushing myself so hard, I won’t be good enough; if I share my feelings or ask for what I need it'll be too much; I can't show the real me; I should be able to just handle this myself. Folks I work with are often seeking support with things underpinning or accompanying such feelings, including: anxiety, stress, negative thought loops, difficulty with self-esteem, trauma, challenges with boundary setting, and feeling disconnected.
