Great to meet you!

What propels us to change our lives has a lot to do with the connection we can build with a therapist. Therapy can expand our capacity to tolerate discomfort and life's stressors. Together, we can learn to listen to your body's story, sit with difficult emotions and energy that your body has not metabolized. Together, we can reprocess past traumas that have shaped your core negative self beliefs that keep you from reaching your full potential.

My approach to therapy

My therapy approaches primarily stem from body modalities such as EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. These approaches elicit mindful and grounding interventions that combine body awareness and are empowered by psychoeducation about symptoms of mental illnesses and the effects of traumas. I specialize in treating trauma, mood disorders, addictions & life changes.

What you can expect from me

I believe that we all have the innate capacity to heal our wounds. Together we can learn to be in the here and now and help you gain awareness, tolerance and resourcefulness to help your body find regulation. You are here and that's a big step; I'd be honored to walk alongside you in this healing journey.
