I am trained in Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems models, and I use these evidence-based approaches to help individuals and couples address trauma, anxiety, grief & loss, and family and relational dynamics.
Have you tried talk therapy in the past or are you looking for a new innovative approach to traditional talk therapy? How do you feel toward your life? You may be good at keeping up appearances on the outside, but on the inside, you may be struggling with parts of yourself that are feeling overwhelmed, angry, impulsive, lost, sad, lonely, stressed, burnt out or stuck and reactive to people or situations. I help people learn how to calm their nervous system, heal their stories, and lead with awareness.

I have specialized training in: grief and bereavement, anxiety, depression, forgiveness, sensorimotor training, trauma informed, mind/body practices, meditation, somatic experiencing, polyvagal theory and internal family systems.
We can be kind, strong, intelligent, and resourceful individuals and still there will be times when we need other people to support us, that’s just how we’re built. Acknowledging that vulnerability and asking for what we need is true wisdom. I honor and respect that in you. Every person is a unique expression of life, our work together supports you in embodying an authentic way of living. I deeply respect the painful things that bring people to seek support, as thresholds that offer the potential for healing, connection and purpose, and work to cultivate that optimism while also honoring the suffering that leads to such transitions

With extensive training in Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting and over 17 years of clinical experience, I have observed that our upbringing and past pain want to heal and often show up as depression, anxiety, or physical symptoms.
Tired of feeling stuck? You've had it with depression and anxiety taking you away from being present. If thinking could rid you of it you would have been freed long ago because you are insightful. It is time to identify the root issues, confront the pain and fear from the past so you can move forward. It is time to live out your values with integrity and have meaningful connections with yourself, your loved ones and your community.

I tailor interventions for each client, drawing on somatic practices, parts work, and experiential techniques like EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing.
I enjoy working with adults who want to process past trauma and relearn how to feel safe in the present. I frequently work with people who grew up in dysfunctional families, and have experienced neglect and abuse in close relationships. These experiences often lead to secondary challenges such as depression, anxiety, co-dependency, and relational concerns. I work with clients to reconnect to their authentic selves. As of 2024, I am licensed in Oregon as well as Minnesota.

As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and a NARM-Informed Professional, I treat developmental trauma from adverse childhood experiences, including feelings of loneliness, neglect, physical and/or sexual abuse.
For over forty years I've helped people heal their emotional wounds. If you grew up in a dysfunctional family, the traumatic effects of that environment, such as anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship problems, are with you to this day. To have the fully functioning life you want, it is essential to recover from the neglect, abuse, and lack of parental attunement from which you may have suffered in your early years. I'll collaborate with you to help you understand how your past affects your present, and how you can make the changes you need to improve your life and relationships.
