Throughout life, it is possible to find ourselves on a journey we believe is impossible to complete. Through therapy, we learn that no journey is impossible; however sometimes we must detour...delay...revisit...or speed up! This analogy speaks to the true essence of therapy, helping others to navigate obstacles that present themselves along their journey. I will partner with you to find your path to a healthy existence despite any detours you encounter.

My work as a therapist is finding the treasure that I know is inside of you. I realize that your “gem” is often there, but covered up by years of bad habits, unfortunate events, or mental health issues beyond your control. I believe that you have your own answers to your problems and I am here to help you clarify and find those answers. I take a person-centered approach. I may challenge you, but do so with compassion and understanding that life is a journey with bumps in the road for all of us.

Are there areas of your life you would like to work on but don’t know where to start? Do you sometimes or often feel anxious about the future, overwhelmed by your current circumstances, lack motivation, struggle with relationships, and/or can’t seem to feel positive about yourself? I have found that when we don't recognize the causes of our issues, we assume we are defective or broken. In truth, these coping mechanisms developed at some time in the past to help you get through circumstances that were very scary and/or painful. While those coping mechanisms were effective at the time, they are not working for you today.

Wanna cozy up by the lake, get into your body, and heal trauma? Me too. Somatic therapy isn't something I discovered after becoming a therapist, it is THE reason I became a therapist and has sculpted my training and learning experiences since the moment I began my education. As a deeply relational bodymind therapist, my commitment is to create a safe container in which you can move through the veil of any past wounding and shame into vibrant aliveness, seeing the world through your birthright: attachment security, confidence and self-love, the ability to give and receive love, and a sense of belonging in the universe.

I like to take a client-centered approach, making sure you are in charge of your goals but supporting you as you work to achieve them. Everyone has unique experiences and needs that I believe should be considered when it comes to therapy. I have a background in child welfare and development but have worked in a variety of settings.

It is written, "Hope is an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." A popular image of an anchor symbolizes safety and stability. Many people - maybe even you - face terrible storms in their lives: addiction, abuse, fear, loss of relationships, joblessness, loneliness and more. In response to life's storms, people turn to compulsive sexual behavior, anger, substance abuse and food to soothe themselves. These "medications" not only do not work, but create chaos in our lives. Other ways of dealing with turmoil include lying, isolation and feelings of shame, guilt and worthlessness. I offer a refuge to chart a new course.
