Specialty Areas: Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi Psychotherapy

Client Populations: Family, Children, Teens, Adult

Healing begins when we learn to understand ourselves. I help adults, children, adolescents and families shine a compassionate light on their thoughts, feelings, and patterns of relating to find new possibilities beyond the habitual survival strategies that have helped you to defend against stress and trauma. Therapy can give you the tools and awareness to make the changes that you want to make while you learn to experience a greater sense of safety and resilience, recover from difficult experiences, find more acceptance, get your needs met with more clarity, balance connection with boundaries, and live life with greater meaning.

I use a person-centered and integrative approach informed by my 30 year background in somatics and expressive arts along with training in Somatic Experiencing, The Hakomi Method, and DBT. I have been an attachment-informed parenting coach for the last 12 years, and I have education and experience in family-based interventions.

I see our work together as a collaboration. I bring a non-judgmental presence, but I don't just listen and give insights. I can also support you with experiential processes that help you discover more of who you are while giving you the chance to heal from unmet needs. Therapy is an incredibly rewarding experience, and it would be my honor to walk with you.
