Great to meet you!

I am a Somatic Experiencing (SE) practitioner with over 25 years of mental health and human service experience. I have extensive experience in SE, Systemic Family Constellations, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Motivational interviewing, and Prolonged Exposure, with a special focus on traumas, burnout, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, maternal mental health, and grief.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is very interactive. I would explore all the challenges and struggles my clients encounter in life. From my experience, I understand we may all suffer from different levels of psychological and emotional distress but in the end, we are more alike than we are different. We all want our voices to be heard, we all want to be loved, and we all want to be treated with respect and dignity. My work is to help my clients find their voices, feel safe, and to be present

What you can expect from me

I will schedule a one-hour intake session to determine treatment goals and the frequency of the following sessions. We work as a team in a journey of healing and attaining goals.
