Currently Accepting New Clients. What does it feel like to be heard, seen, and understood? To get to say out loud the things you've struggled with inside, and not feel alone? Perhaps there's a part of you that you're wondering about, or you've noticed patterns in your life that aren't serving you anymore. Maybe you are seeking a more joyful, fulfilling and authentic way of living, and are curious about what is left to be discovered of who you are and the life you want for yourself. My therapy practice is a space that is affirming of who you are, what you’ve experienced, the systems that impact you, and your feelings about it all.

Now Accepting New Patients… Your "unhelpful patterns" exist for a reason. They helped you at some point... now, they get in the way. Let's understand the root of the behavior and find something better suited for who you are today. :-)

I offer a welcoming space to explore how disorienting transitions, loss, intense challenges and illnesses can hold within them the possibility for profound personal transformation, renewed vitality, and deeper connections. It was my own journey with chronic illness that began in my twenties that evolved into a calling to support others in their healing. Since 2008, I have worked as a licensed naturopathic physician, health coach, author, educator, and now mental health counselor. My personal and professional experiences have engendered an embodied compassion and humility for the ways in which life can bring us to our knees.

I want your therapy experience to be a safe place to explore your life, your problems, and your dreams. Thoreau's quotation says it for me: "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Your issues may be small or large. My commitment to you is to respect you as an individual and to really listen to you.

As a Certified Hakomi Therapist my offering is a Somatic Experiential Psychotherapy modality that is gentle, non-judgmental, and compassionate; a form of assisted self-study where the client studies his or her responses to explorations in a mindful state of consciousness. We become aware and touch upon the very organizing experiences that have been a part of our habitual life - the patterns that no long serve us. We increase clarity, creativity, confidence and awareness and break through obstacles towards ease, connection and vitality. I am available for phone or online sessions.

Accepting New Clients: The most potent skill I want to offer to you is the ability to both witness and also experience fully whatever is arising within you with kindness and curiosity. Holding this paradox gently appears to be the way to move through difficulty with softness and be open to the wisdom of the challenge. I help adults as going through natural life transitions and finding themselves struggling to make meaning of their difficulties. Changes in our relationships, health and roles in family are some of the things that can be very challenging to accept and contend with, and I aspire to be a trusted guide in your journey.

Trauma can completely disrupt our lives, leaving us feeling a multitude of emotions. It gets physically stuck in our bodies, creating anxiety, depression, and dissociation. I am passionate about helping individuals work through their experienced trauma and discover their authentic selves. I am also passionate about working within the LGBTQIA community with challenges related to gender and sexual orientation, and neurodivergent individuals with ADHD, social anxiety, BPD, OCD, sensory processing and bipolar disorder. My goal is to provide a culturally sensitive, non-judgmental space for you to explore all of the various parts of you.

Welcome. My therapy practice was built with a vision of providing care to my community in ways that reflect my values. Those values center around my belief that healing comes when we have access to safety and authentic connection because the deepest answers we may need arise ultimately from within ourselves. I seek to be an active participant in creating a culture of care for all people. I come into this role from my own healing journey that is always on-going, still often surprising, and practiced with intention because it’s been my most meaningful source of freedom, inspiration, strength, and clarity.

Adolescence can be an incredibly confusing, difficult, and demanding time in life. The pressures of school, peers, family, and building one’s identity, not to mention thinking about the future, can contribute to any number of mental health challenges. For kids, teens, and young adults these days, trying to address these challenges can be scary and uncomfortable. Being open to exploring these experiences takes courage and having the opportunity to do so in a safe, confidential, and open environment can foster change and personal growth.

At times we all find ourselves in periods of growth that can be challenging and confusing. Growth and change can be difficult but if troubling obstacles are removed, one can move towards a healthier, creative, vibrant life with a new sense of meaning and purpose. I tend to look at symptoms individuals are struggling with as guides showing the changes one needs to make in order to develop into their authentic, creative self. The work I do with client’s is often symbolic and includes dream work, creative expression, deep conversation, lessons from nature, and a deep relational connection that can foster authentic experience.
