Here’s what I believe: it can be really scary to get in touch with our emotions and needs, but when we avoid them, it wreaks havoc on our lives. We lash out, people please, numb out, run away, dissociate, or sometimes completely shut down. There comes a point, however, when we decide we want more out of life, and know it's time for change. Perhaps you’re at that point right now. If so, I want to offer you a warm welcome. In our work together, I will honor your resilience, hold your darkness with reverence and celebrate progress and possibility with you. We all need support sometime - we weren't build to do this alone.
As a somatic therapist, I center the wisdom of your body to guide us to your deepest emotions and truest Self. I value the creation of a safe and trusting relationship above all else. My work is gentle, slow and intention-focused. I am trained in and blend mindfulness-based modalities including The Hakomi Method, IFS, and Somatic Experiencing.
I bring my whole self into the room — I’ll be laughing with you and crying with you as we work together to navigate whatever arises. In addition to individual talk and somatic therapy and couples work, I now offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and integration. Deciding to pursue therapy is a courageous choice. Let's begin this journey, together.

For many of us, talk therapy just isn't enough. We can "figure out" why we're suffering, but that cognitive understanding doesn't make the feeling of anxiety or depression go away. Talking about our feelings is one thing, but really FEELING them in the body is another thing entirely. I work with Hakomi, Somatic Experiencing and IFS to help you get out of your head and into your body.
