Do you feel alone, lost, empty, or dissatisfied? Are you struggling with meaningless work or overwhelmed about the state of our world? Do you want to feel happy and peaceful so you can appreciate and enjoy your life? Maybe you long to have time in the wild and beautiful natural places. Perhaps you desire supportive and healthy relationships with people who share your values. Or maybe your deepest wish is to know your purpose, to be involved in inspiring and meaningful work where you can know and share your gifts.

The bumper sticker on my car says DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK. This statement sums up one of the most important wishes that I have for my clients and supports the work that we will do together. It is my opinion that our beliefs about ourselves and the world are our most powerful tools for change (for good or ill) that we have. At your own pace, we will explore the ways that your beliefs affect your thoughts and feelings, and work toward your goals, both great and small.

We are all learning to become human; no easy task. As anxiety has become the new normal, it can be challenging to live in a human body and experience all the intensity; sometimes we need some extra support. Somatic therapy works with befriending your body in its wholeness (mind, body, spirit). I support you in tracking ALIVENESS & empower in your full expression. Along the way, I teach skills that strengthen your capacity to work with difficult emotions, the inner critic, & habitual impulses while staying connected to the present moment.

I specialize in working with adults, couples, children, trauma, queer/trans/LGBTQ+ folks, and those willing/wishing to work in creative ways that allow us to reach beyond our ideas about ourselves. We hold your ways of coping as meaningful communication from a deeper, knowing part of you, worth being listened to and understood. In the places that a medical model often believes are worth eradicating, we find the fibers of a soulful life. I am highly skilled in working with dreams, images that come to mind, and other aesthetic material as ways of accessing your deeper levels of knowing.

I believe the mind knows how to heal. Given the right conditions, our own wisdom guides us back to what makes us feel alive and whole. Therapy can be one of the conditions we need for healing. By becoming familiar with what blocks us and aligning with what we value and love, we begin to untangle the past and create the life we want.

I believe some of our greatest challenges can reveal themselves to be opportunities for growth and change. Within ourselves we all carry innate wisdom and the ability to heal. As a clinician it is my goal to support you in reconnecting with your Authentic Self and rediscover the answers already within you, which may help ease your pain and suffering. When burdened by depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, or substance abuse, a person's ability to connect to their true self becomes blocked. My focus is to create a safe an nurturing environment to guide you back to your Authentic Self.

Finding the right person to walk beside you during these extraordinary times can provide a deep sense of support, connection, and guidance. I have a wealth of experience working with grief and loss, trauma, and all the many life transitions we are individually and collectively experiencing. My approach is warm and compassionate as I draw from vast learned modalities. I integrate mindfulness, trauma-informed care, somatics, and a curiosity to create a unique and effective therapeutic experience.

My passion is helping people live with more embodied presence, aliveness, care, & agency. As a Queer &/or BIPOC person you may have lived experience of trauma, loss, oppression, & marginalization. You may feel like your body is turning against you or that you have to mask parts of yourself to survive. No wonder relationships can be hard. When you're already working so hard to feel safe in your body the world can feel too much. It need not be this way. Your body can be your home, your way back to ground & center, a rich flowing wellspring of ancestral knowing that deepens your connection with yourself, others, & the world.

I am here to help you listen to the signals of your body, mind, heart and relationship that are calling for a new way of being. Often these signals come in the form of conflict, sexual blocks, loneliness, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief; I believe they are an initiation. Something is out of sync: you know all the "right" things to do, and yet they still don't seem to get to the heart of the problem. You are beginning therapy because part of you knows it would be more uncomfortable to continue "business-as-usual" than to open to change.

I think therapy has a lot to do with the "art of conversation" and how we relate to one another. My goal as your clinician will be to hear you, understand the world you live in and support your efforts to improve your sense of self, life-functioning skills and overall happiness. I use acceptance, empathy and compassion with my clients, emphasizing how their current strengths can support them when facing difficulties and challenges in their lives. I encourage my clients to be the experts in the room and work to support, guide and aid them toward happier and healthier lives.
