About me
Longing for greater ease, satisfaction and wholeness in your life is natural- finding the right fit in a therapist can support feelings of safety, support, and confidence through that process. If you are a creative, dynamic individual, looking for custom therapy to relieve anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, overstimulation from our fast paced world, or seeking a deeper sense of meaning and belonging- I’d love to talk! Together we can uncover what holds you back, bolster your strengths, and find acceptance where there are limitations. Alongside your goals, I aim to see my clients feeling more vital and at peace.
As a present, nonjudgemental witness, I provide space to process your thoughts and feelings. I am also an active therapist offering tools, new perspectives and prompts to deepen inquiry into the unconscious. I specialize in somatic therapy, which emphasizes and uses the mind-body connection to support awareness, nervous system regulation and centering.
Many clients come in to heal interpersonal relationships, or to ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, or PTSD. Some wish to refresh their focus, direction, and purpose in life. I learn where you came from, where you want to go and what's blocking you now. I help you find relief through a mix of guided self observation and skills building for clarity and courage to make changes.
It’s important to feel comfortable and understood as you heal. Take a look at my website for more information about me and how I work. I welcome questions you may have! Give a call or email to book a 20 minute discovery call to see if we’re a fit for you!
