I work with people needing support handling stress in their life. This might show up as anxiety or depression, or an outdated coping strategy. Some of my clients are exploring their gender or sexuality, and may need support related to not being affirmed in their lives. I also see couples that want to communicate in a more constructive and collaborative way. I work with them on nervous system regulation as well as finding new ways to understand each other. Together we come up with strategies and try new ways of interacting. From there they usually have more capacity to deepen their relationship and move forward together.

I work best with people who have experienced some kind of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). Childhood Emotional Neglect happens when your parents fail to adequately respond to your emotional needs as they arise in you. If you grew up in this way, you are inevitably suppressing or walling off your emotions as an adult because you were taught that your emotions aren’t important or valid. CEN is largely invisible, and therein lies its power. It is a type of trauma but, unlike abuse, it is characterized not by an event or a presence but by a non-event or an absence.

Are you having difficulty holding boundaries? Does people-pleasing leave you feeling exhausted and resentful, wondering why you give more to others than you receive? You may be tired of feeling burnt out, disconnected in your relationships or taken for granted. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to unpack the early life experiences that shaped some of these patterns, make your own wellbeing a priority and get your needs met for a change. Most of all, you’re ready to feel calmer, more rested and more connected to those you love.

Do you feel unsettled, unnerved, or just stuck in the mundane? Do you ever feel like you're not good enough? Do fears, excuses or worries keep you from truly enjoying your life? You deserve to LIVE your life! Because we tend to adapt to our surroundings, we are often “just making the situation work.” We don’t realize we are experiencing more stress, overwhelming emotion, and burden than we need. There is another way, but finding it alone can be very challenging. My goal is to help YOU get where you want to be, have the life you want. I help clients to get up, out and make changes in their lives.

Some problems in life can be difficult to deal with. It can be hard to make progress. It can be hard to understand why we feel the way we do, or to understand why we do the things we do. We can be stifled by fear, hampered by low self-esteem, or suffer from being too hard on ourselves. It can seem that we have the same kind of problems or painful emotions over and over.

A great teacher at Esalen Institute once told me, "We are wounded in relationship and we heal in our relationships". I have come to believe this whole-heartedly as I see our relationships with others, ourselves, and even the earth break down and get off balance, lacking fulfillment or even becoming destructive. Most people who have suffered neglect, trauma or loss become discouraged, needing support and resources to heal and move forward with hope. However, I believe all people carry the seed of intuitive insight and courage that they need to make positive changes in their lives.

You are bright, sensitive, and insightful but either feel like you’re stuck on ON (easily startled, racing thoughts that are difficult to control or turn off, struggling to relax and feeling flooded emotionally), or stuck on OFF (flat, lethargic, exhausted, foggy, unmotivated and disconnected from your vitality and energy). You may have even spent years in talk therapy, gained a lot of insight but have hit a plateau and may be wondering if you’re not meant to fully heal or if therapy actually works. It is possible to deeply heal - you just need an approach that supports your life's history and how it's stored in your body.

There is a crisis of meaning and purpose in our society and far too few communities of support to guide us through the difficulties of modern life. I work with clients using psychodynamic, interpersonal and mindfulness-based approaches to help people move from lives of loneliness and alienation to lives of connection and purpose. Creating a safe and nurturing relationship with my clients is of primary importance in my work.

My patients come to me because they are stuck - maybe you and your partner keep having the same argument over and over; you can’t seem to shake certain thoughts, feelings, or habits; or your heart and life have broken open in a way you can’t seem to make sense of alone. Many of the people I work with experienced trauma in their past. These experiences can create barriers to fulfillment in relationships and life more broadly - often unknowingly. By remaining curious about what lies beneath the surface, and exploring new ways of relating to self and others, we will work together to create, and claim, a space that is truly your own.

Are you feeling stuck in frustrating patterns or behaviors despite gaining insights from traditional talk therapy? Do you find it difficult to manage overwhelming emotions or disruptive symptoms? Have you experienced a traumatic event that you're struggling to move past? If any of these resonate with you, it might be time to explore a new approach to therapy. I specialize in somatic approaches that integrate the wisdom of the mind with the awareness of the body, allowing for deeper healing. My focus is on working with clients who have C-PTSD, PTSD, and anxiety.

Are you Super Loyal? An excellent listener, who perhaps doesn’t share much about yourself? The one everyone leans on for support, advice, money, or favors? Are you the glue in your family, and the one who puts out fires? Many of my clients who identify with these kinds of qualities struggle in characteristic ways. Many are uncomfortable acknowledging their own feelings & desires. They make too many sacrifices to avoid being "selfish". They fear confrontation and the possibility of upsetting or disappointing others. They often get drawn into imbalanced relationships... or worse, toxic ones with selfish or narcissistic people.

You’d say that you are observant, conscientious, and driven. You pride yourself in your successes so far but struggle to take credit for them. You're hard on yourself but the thought of self-forgiveness or compassion brings up guilt. You're really good at being there for others and notice not receiving the same back. Self-doubt and loneliness keep you up at night and bleed into anxieties about work, relationships, and your kids if you’re a parent. You're not looking for temporary bandaids and believe sustainable healing is continuous and worth investing in. In relationships, you desire restoration of connection with your partner.
