As a licensed psychotherapist, I have been providing trauma informed and somatic based therapy for over twenty years. Through my work, I have seen the transformative power of providing a safe space where people can understand and connect with their deepest emotions. My approach is grounded in the belief that we are all capable of healing and growth, and I work with my clients to build the necessary tools and skills to achieve their goals. From addressing trauma and anxiety to improving relationships and communication, my aim is to support my clients holistically in their journey towards mental and emotional well-being. ​

Therapy is an interactive process,and I connect easily and well with people of all ages who are struggling with depression, anxiety,relationships and family issues,chronic illness or grief. I am a practical person with a good sense of humor and considerable empathy, employing a variety of useful techniques depending on specific problems and goals.

Integration is a process in which a person revisits and actively engages in making sense of, working through, translating, and processing the content of their psychedelic experience. Through intentional and supportive practices, this process allows one to gradually capture and incorporate the emergent lessons and insights into their lives, thus moving toward greater balance and wholeness, both internally and externally.

I aim to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, safe environment that will support your innate ability to heal and grow. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership between you and I, and I highly value building deep, genuine connections with the people with whom I work. Through connection, and a gentle balance of nurture and challenge, lasting change can occur. Many of my patients begin therapy feeling stuck, anxious, unhappy, struggling with effects of trauma or loss, or desiring deeper connections in their relationships. Therapy can help you understand more about yourself and what you can do to feel better.

I offer therapy to unravel the fear of being a burden and embrace a life of simple authenticity. You could think of yourself as a chameleon. In your family, you sort of disappear into the roles people expect of you. In your relationships, you’re kind but sometimes that’s all you are—all there feels space for of you. You have clarity about yourself deep down, but you don’t feel clear on how to be yourself in a way that isn’t a burden on others or that isn’t selfish. So you stay kind. But you also stay unhappy. And you’re not sure if the people close to you notice, or if they notice, you’re not sure if they deep down really care.

Therapy is useful if you find that your thoughts or emotions are getting in the way of enjoying your life. For some, this means uncomfortable feelings are limiting their ability to fully engage in activities, relationships, and work. For others, thoughts of the past or future might be distracting or distressing. Other people may look to the outside world like they are doing well, but internally they feel they are struggling or that they are not reaching their potential.

Everyone has a story that makes a person who they are. These stories, whether put onto us by others based on our identities or created by ourselves to enrich our lives, impact how we view or interact with our family, friends, society, and ourselves. I believe that we all as individuals have the power to either accept or change our stories, and as a therapist I am passionate about learning what makes a person who they are, listening to others empathetically and without judgment, and helping clients re-author their new stories. If you're here that means you're thinking about changing your story, and I'd love to help!
