Great to meet you!

Trauma is not what happens to you, it's what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you. -Dr. Gabor Maté. Looking at these adaptations with compassion, presence and commitment provide true freedom and lasting change. I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist/Psychotherapist working for many years with clients in various settings including inpatient, outpatient, and private practice. I am currently one of 2700 therapists worldwide trained in Compassionate Inquiry.

My approach to therapy

I utilize verbal therapy with various somatically focused methods to help clients get to know their own nervous system, triggers, and core beliefs, that are often driving their current difficulties. Integrating discussion with here and now experience helps people get to know their own system.

What you can expect from me

We will work together to help you handle your triggers, and self-regulate in all aspects of your life. I apply this understanding and lens to interpersonal problems, addictions, and ongoing problematic states like anxiety and depression, If you'd like to look at these parts of your life in this way, I am available to work with you.
