Searching for a therapist can feel overwhelming, glad you are taking the time to find the support you need. I am accepting new clients. Deeply emotional? Sensory overload? Burnout? Body pains/illness not medically explained? Maybe you are experiencing midlife changes? I practice a mixture of somatic therapy and parts work which helps you integrate your body and emotions in a way that is not overwhelming and that promotes having a positive relationship with yourself. I work with clients that have experienced trauma, clients struggling with anxiety, depression, deep feeling of not belonging, and grief.

My counseling experience includes working with persons experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma and loss history, relationship issues, trust issues, identity challenges, and homelessness.
Difficulty is a part of life. Depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma... These are just some of the common experiences that bring people to counseling. I think growth and healing are most likely to occur when we feel safe, understood, connected, and believe that we matter. My primary focus is to offer a space and develop a therapeutic relationship where these needs can be met. You may bring specific goals in mind to counseling, or we can work together to create them. I offer spiritual integration, if you so desire. I currently work with adults and older teens (age 16+).

Cultivating a safe secure relationship where clients can share tender, painful, or shameful parts of themself is of utmost importance to me.
I work with people hoping to recover from complex trauma in a way that honors and integrates their whole selves. I help clients figure out stuck points, make changes aligned with their goals and values, feel more connected with themselves and others, and live a more meaningful life. I enjoy working with people who have always felt different and are navigating their mental health at the crossroads of intersecting identities that don't fit into neat boxes.

" In our relationship, we'll create a space that allows you more access to yourself, and a more regulated nervous system.
Waitlist. Creativity, connection, joy, hope, purpose and release of painful emotions, and persistent negative beliefs I use mindful somatic psychotherapy (Hakomi), to create growth and change. At times, this may mean moving towards uncomfortable inner experiences and emotions, but your willingness to feel deeply means discovery, acceptance, and release of past hurts. The future does not need to look like the past. As a trained acupuncturist, I incorporate Eastern Philosophy and respect for the intelligence of nature and the body in my work - I also use dreamwork, parts work, energy awareness, and creative practices for healing.

It can serve to alleviate anxiety and depression as well as help individuals to feel less conflicted and better able to reach their potential in work and relationships.

It is my belief that even though people seem to differ in their inborn ability to handle life's stresses, their resiliency and sense of mastery can be cultivated. My therapeutic approach is to help my clients live a more hopeful and meaningful life. Being the oldest child of a Dutch family of Holocaust survivors, I "learned" how trauma and resiliency gets transmitted from one generation to the next. My fascination of learning how the body keeps the score, my interest in helping people be securely attached and engaged with each other all brought me to this exciting calling.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience. I have a specialty in social justice themes and work heavily with the LGBTQ community, particularly with people of color. My approach to psychotherapy is warm, empathic, and compassionate. I treat each individual professionally and with respect and with acknowledgement of your individual strengths. I listen attentively to your thoughts and feelings, while also focusing on factors that are out of your conscious awareness (such as anxieties, values, and expectations) that can get expressed in relationships or through problematic patterns or symptoms.

Imagine taking a moment to connect your feelings and thoughts. You sit down and take a moment to feel sensations in your body, your mood, and then work through the story you connect to it all. Often when seeking therapy we start by wanting to find solutions to get rid of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - and this is good! Taking time to have caring and attentive guidance through this process is the role I take. As you share what you are going through either as an individual, partners, or family, I see that it is my job to come alongside to first listen and then guide the path to a different and preferred life.

I work with individuals and couples who find themselves trapped in patterns of emotion and behavior that keep them from moving forward in their lives and relationships. I don't think of problems as illnesses, but as learned ways of navigating the world that no longer work; almost every problem started out as a solution. Problems are solved by deeply confronting and changing the emotional learnings that make them seem inevitable. Change comes when people are able to unlearn old patterns and replace them with new ones. Transformative change uses the mind’s natural capacity to adapt and heal.
