Great to meet you!

Though I draw from several traditional talk therapy models and my year of experience and extensive post-graduate training such as psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavior therapy, I offer updated therapy in nervous system regulation which includes polyvagal, somatic, and mindfulness interventions for trauma, anxiety and emotional regulation.

My approach to therapy

I am a trained listener who demonstrates compassion and genuine interest in you. I also apply as appropriate a broad range of techniques and strategies to our conversation that hopefully will illuminate and provide insight into your situation along with real life solutions. My approach encourages clients to take an active role in this important journey of health and healing.

What you can expect from me

My intention from our very first session is to create a safe space without judgment or criticism where you can feel absolute freedom to speak about issues important to you and explore symptoms or problems that may be troubling you.
