I often work with people who have learned to hide who they are or what they are feeling in order to have relationships. My hope is to build a "safe enough" client/counselor relationship in which all parts of you can feel welcome. The therapeutic relationship often mirrors other relationships in your life, so I will be addressing our relationship dynamics and communication as part of the therapeutic process.

The therapy I offer is most effective for people who have already spent time working on themselves in therapy, spiritual practice, or by other means. My main treatment focus is developmental trauma, which means the harm caused in relationships growing up. As adults that can look like high functioning depression, anxiety, relationship problems, creative blocks, numbness/dissociation, lack of progress, and other expressions. We work with mindfulness based somatic therapy in an compassionate, supportive, and non-judgmental environment using a wide array of methods. Together we will uncover the healing your body is striving to access.
