I'm so happy you're here. I offer psychotherapy, rooted in somatic modalities, to support you in feeling more grounded, supported, and connected in your life. My goal is to assist clients in feeling more at home in their bodies and minds. That process begins with a space where clients feel like they can show up as their whole selves with whatever they're holding that day. My approach starts with the body. Often simply bringing awareness to the body, emotions, and inner world creates an opening for greater understanding, compassion, and change. I work with adolescents and adults in Massachusetts, in person in Williamstown and virtually statewide. I hold an LICSW, an MSW from Columbia, and completed the three-year Somatic Experiencing training, a birth doula training, and other trauma-informed certifications.

I support clients in regulating the nervous system, which helps them to grow their capacity to hold life’s complexity as well as its joys. I believe that the body holds the answers to some of our deepest questions and that we are our own greatest experts. Oftentimes our “somatic” experience, the emotions, feelings, and thoughts we hold in our bodies, can provide us with a roadmap to a greater understanding of ourselves, our needs, and the world.

Our first session is mostly a conversation where we get to know one another and what you're hoping to find in our work. I'll always ask where you'd like us to begin each session, and we'll move at the pace feels right to you. I believe that we all have the intrinsic capacity to feel good and that the right space can support us in arriving there.
