What would it be like to feel at home in your body, in your mind, and in your heart? How would it feel to truly inhabit your life, with a greater sense of aliveness, ease, and connection? From my experience working with hundreds of clients from all walks of life, I know that difficult times can become a doorway to healing, change and greater connection with one's true self. I have a warm, collaborative approach and will support you in healing the wounds of the past and making inner and outer changes needed for a more fulfilling life.
I work with depression, bipolar, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions and substance abuse. I love working with couples and groups. I am passionate about womens' empowerment and creative and spiritual/psychological issues. We may work through talk therapy, present moment awareness, somatic work and/or expressive arts.
I find that including the body in therapy helps people more thoroughly process and integrate experiences. I make room for spirituality and a more expansive view of what it means to be human. I would love to support you on your journey. I invite you to come home to yourself.

Groups
Women, Mood & Anxiety
As women we often experience additional layers of suffering when we have problems with low mood, anxiety, a history of trauma or difficulty coping with life. Because women often take in cultural messages about our self-worth we may also blame ourselves for feeling bad, or mask our pain and feel isolated and alone. This group will include simple practices to feel more at ease in ourselves and the world, including mindfulness, self-compassion and writing exercises; and somatic tools using the body and breath. We will move toward healthier ways of thinking, expressing ourselves and making choices in alignment with values and priorities.
