Great to meet you!

Hello and Welcome! I have been working with clients of all ages for close to 20 years and am passionate about helping people find greater peace, self-love and capacity. My orientation is holistic and I have extensive background in somatics, psychodynamic theory, ecotherapy, trauma and post-traumatic growth and emerging potential. I am skilled in helping people feel safe to learn, grow, and self-actualize while resolving internal pain and conflict, and negative patterns.

My approach to therapy

I have a holistic orientation that allows me to see people as fundamentally loveable and whole and not the sum of their problems. I make it safe for my clients to learn and grow in ways that may have felt unattainable prior to starting therapy with me. I emphasize the importance of nervous system regulation, using my extensive background and training in trauma and post-traumatic growth. I include somatic and nature-based eco-therapy work when desired to help maximize growth and success.

What you can expect from me

Increased self-love, self-acceptance and confidence. Improved relationships with self and others. Increased sense of connection to self/other and Nature. Integration of the body, mind and spirit. Sense of hope and capacity.
