About me
I am a Somatic Psychotherapist using a body-based approach to helping clients understand and regulate their nervous system.
Hello! I am passionate about helping others learn about their internal process, not only to better understand their emotions but to bring more fullfillment in their lives! I personally have been on a journey to embody my experience and have found groundedness, expansion and joy through befriending my nervous system and discovering my authenticity and resilience. I work interactively in sessions with a pace that is attuned to my clients, with compassion, playfulness and curiousity. I honor each client's process and create somatic safety, first and formost.
I have training in Somatic Experiencing Technique, grief counseling, and psychodynamic theory. I draw on my experience with shamanism, Buddhism, mindfulness practice, expressive arts and Emotional Freedom Technique.
I see clients with developmental and attachment trauma, chronic pain, physical challenges, syndromes and people facing end of life challenges. I offer a free phone call to discuss your needs, invite you to ask questions, and tell you more about me. Together we can see if it feels like a good fit!
