You don't have to carry this pain inside alone any longer! I offer a unique approach to therapy integrating EMDR, CBT and Somatic approaches with meditation as well as focused coaching to help you discover your best self and feel whole again.
You want to stop living in fear/worry. You've had enough of doubting and criticizing yourself every single day questioning your skills at work or at interpersonal relationships with friends or your partner or the idea of dating is terrifying..the good news is you're in the right place and you're not alone! It's exhausting not being able to enjoy things that used to matter to you and over-thinking every single detail in a negative way. It's infuriating to want to socialize but being afraid of how people will "judge" or "view" you just because you don't feel like yourself. It's draining to not wanting to go to work or start your day.

The mind and body are always working in tandem, therefore I incorporate the body therapeutically through embodied awareness and somatic practices including, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic experiencing.
My aim as a clinician is to treat the soul, not the symptoms. As a depth-focused psychotherapist I strive to focus on the individual, not their diagnosis or symptomology. My ideal clients are people who not only wish to address their mental health, but develop a deeper understanding of oneself. I have worked alongside clients to address Anxiety Disorders, including Social Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Mood Disorders, Attachment Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Addiction. My goal is to help clients achieve relief from their mental health by working to heal the wounded aspects of themselves.

My approach to therapy is relational, collaborative, and draws upon narrative, psychodynamic, ACT, inner child/parts work, somatic work, and mindfulness interventions.
Hi, I'm glad you made it. Asking for and finding support is tough, but this is the first step. Tell me, do you find it difficult to stay motivated throughout the day? Are you constantly ruminating on interactions with others, anxious about whether you said or did the "right" thing? Perhaps you spend most of your time and energy worrying about how others perceive you? Or, maybe you struggle to feel deserving to take up space in a conversation or a room full of people? If you identify as a perfectionist, people-pleaser, over-thinker, or struggle with low self-esteem or self-worth, therapy might help cut through some of that noise.

I teach you somatic/mindfulness-based skills, provide tools to reduce shame and isolation, help you put words to your needs and desires, as well as empower you to navigate challenging conversations, to handle conflict and to design the the joyful and satisfying relationships you want.
Choosing new possibilities is a courageous act. If you’ve found your way here, you may be feeling deep sadness, loneliness, anxiety, a sense of frustration or just simply exhausted. Perhaps you're curious to discover and create a new relationship with yourself, your partner(s), or the work that you do in the world. When it comes to sexuality, love, or our work, many of us are carrying around old stories, misinformation, and the pain of difficult experiences that we want to be free of. If you are wrestling with love/sexuality or feeling drained by work that once felt exciting and no longer does, I can help.

I use somatic (body-based) tools as well as EMDR to help clients build resilience and an increased sense of inner safety and connectedness.
Therapy is an opportunity to rediscover what it feels like to be at home in yourself. It is a process of making the road by walking—of taking step after step to explore your experiences, beliefs, inner knowing, pain and hope in order to create a more meaningful and authentic life. My aim is to support you on this path through grounded presence, honesty and deep care.

My life's work has centered around community building and grassroots social change. Because I believe in the more beautiful world my heart knows is possible, I have been a circle keeper and teacher in community settings, nonprofit organizations, jails, prisons, and university classrooms. I know what is possible when we show up together, for one another and the more than human world. I believe in magic and know that we need it to be able to face the inevitable human suffering in life.

My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in psychodynamic theory and weaves multiple therapeutic modalities & research, including trauma-informed interventions, somatic therapy, neuroscience, and attachment theory. My clients appreciate my relaxed, warmly inquisitive and direct style. I adhere to a nonpathologizing model, recognizing coping mechanisms as survival strategies. I believe that emotions are powerful messengers, pointing to authentic needs and feelings. I work with people who are interested in understanding how their strategies are perpetuating anxiety & self doubt, preventing them from experiencing peace and confidence.

Together, we will address your specific issues – and because so many feeling-states such as anxiety and depression are as much felt in the body as in the mind, I like to include the interconnection between body, mind and spirit.

I’m a somatic therapist trained in EMDR (a trauma modality) and EFT (couples therapy) and am a certified sex educator. I help individuals and couples navigate the complexities of non-monogamy, life transitions, grief, fertility challenges, anxiety management, increasing self awareness, developing coping/regulation skills, trauma recovery, and beyond. I see therapy as a relationship that can facilitate growth and healing (in the myriad ways you might define those words) - not in isolation, but in support of connecting more fully outside of therapy, with yourself and your communities.

Integrating principles from psychodynamic theory, a somatic approach, as well as my training in EMDR, we delve into your personal history and examine trauma or emotionally disturbing experiences, including external influences such as systems, and explore how they have influenced our relationship with ourselves and others.
I am passionate about supporting folx who identify as first generation, third culture kids, are from multicultural backgrounds or have experiences of trauma. I deeply enjoy working with couples to explore how our past experiences inform challenges within our relationships and to explore how you can communicate emotions and needs to those we are in community with. I believe relational repair is an imperative aspect of our healing.
