So often, we can identify the challenges we are experiencing, but we have difficulty processing and understanding them alone. It is my goal to compassionately collaborate with you as we bring greater awareness and acceptance to present moment thoughts, feelings and body sensations. It is through this awareness and increased mind-body connection that we are able to allow, explore and process these difficult experiences. I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and identities experiencing difficulty with anxiety, stress, burnout, adjustment, medical issues, professional transitions and development.

In the therapeutic space, the truth belongs to the client, not to the therapist's right to define it. My practice centers on addressing the fractures caused by trauma, capitalism, and materialism—forces that separate us from each other and the natural world. These fractures have led to an emotional and spiritual famine, manifesting as widespread anxiety, violence, addiction, and chronic loneliness.

Starting therapy can be a difficult step, and you may not know where to start. My goal is to determine that together and support a path of self-understanding and positive change. I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and identities dealing with anxiety, depression, identity development, relationship issues, adjustment, grief, and trauma. I also specialize in health psychology with a particular interest in women’s health. Through a warm, curious, and sometimes humorous approach, I strive to make genuine connections to understand client’s needs, hopes, and fears with the goal of self-awareness and transformation.

Clients often come in seeking more of, and for, themselves. It may be loss, transition, or relationship that brings them in, as well as, stress, overwhelm and/or a clear desire to grow. Regardless of the catalyst, all are wanting something more from life. Together, we can support finding more energy, ease and fulfillment in your experience. What makes you feel alive? What gets in the way? These are questions to ask when feeling stuck. There can be complex feelings of fear, disconnect and confusion, blocking the way to motivation, clarity and desire. With openness, compassion and even humor, we can find the way, to more wholeness.

Feeling stuck? I base much of my approach on the idea that we are not programmed to be our own best friends, and that gets in the way. Our minds' default settings are not usually set up for us to feel extra self-confident, extra self-compassionate, or extra calm when the storms roll in. Life generally doesn't let us off the hook very easily, but if we can learn to look at things in new ways, we can find peace in knowing that we are doing the best we can with what life has dealt us.

In searching for a therapist it is important to find someone you feel has the capacity to fully listen, to truly understand without judgment, and who can to bear witness to the experience you bring forth to treatment. When two people can walk together safely carrying the weight of one's individual experience and history significant change can occur.This process is an ongoing reminder of the potential curative power behind relationship and the resiliency of human spirit.

When stress & anxiety keep you from feeling like yourself, it makes everything harder. I can help you change the ways you deal with stress, tension and struggle, and improve your relationships.

Welcome! It is always the most difficult of steps to reach out for help. I am glad to be a part of your journey for understanding, acceptance and change. Many times we approach therapy from an overwhelm place. Unsure of why or how to get to contentment and connection. We may find ourselves repeating painful patterns that do not bring us fulfillment. Sometimes, major life transitions can leave us feeling unsupported and lost. Working as a team, important changes in your life can be realized. When we are connected with our true voices, our lives can be transformed.

Often, we find ourselves in repetitive patterns that can appear to betray our deepest wishes for a fulfilling life. Perhaps you have developed ways of coping that were once effective but are less helpful than they were in the past. Natural life transitions themselves, even the joyful ones, can be full of complicated feelings like loss, grief, and various anxieties. You may wonder at moments of a feeling of being inhibited or too rigidly approaching the world. One may also just feel ‘off’ yet remain unsure why or what could be the cause. This is the value of exploring the aspects of self not immediately consciously available to us.

You do so much for others, always there to provide care, comfort and a shoulder to lean on. You are a partner, mother, daughter, sister, friend to everyone….and you have completely lost yourself. Once, you had goals, dreams and a firm sense of who you were. But now, the pressures of day to day life are leaving you depressed, anxious and uncertain. Things are changing all around you but you feel stuck, wanting to feel happy and fulfilled but not sure if that's even possible. You wonder if you will ever feel good enough. The one thing you know is you feel drained, disconnected and aren't sure how your life ended up this way.

As a somatic therapist, I’m trained to help you regulate your nervous system, work through trauma, and learn to process your feelings. Somatic experiencing is for people who have either been in therapy before and feel like they’re "talked out,” or who are new to therapy and want to try a more mind-body approach. This work is powerful and I’m so honored I get to share it with you and help you get to a more regulated place in your life.
