I provide trauma-informed and trauma therapy. Often, presenting issues have roots in past experiences which have been negatively impactful. Trauma can occur from a variety of experiences which threaten our sense of safety or belonging and having our needs met.

Emotions and related body sensations inform us about our needs (e.g. boundaries), values, and desires. Difficult emotions, such as fear, anger, sadness, and shame, can be confusing and even distressing. Through emotion-focused and somatic (body)-oriented approaches, I support people increase their tolerance for and curiosity around emotions. Connecting to the wisdom of our emotions and bodies allows us to better understand ourselves and step into the lives we desire.

Often, presenting issues have roots in difficult past experiences. Trauma can occur from a variety of experiences which threaten our sense of safety or belonging. When our needs are not met in these experiences, we experience shifts in our ability to regulate emotions, and can view ourselves and the world differently. I provide trauma-informed care which considers your physical and emotional safety. I am trained in EMDR and offer integrative therapy to treat PTSD, childhood and complex trauma.

I have experience working with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. My approach often explores life balance and the potential impact of various domains on your mood (nutrition, movement, work stress, relationships, self-worth, negative core beliefs, and trauma).

The majority of my work centers around supporting people who experience anxiety. I provide support for people who experience generalized anxiety, social anxiety, anxious attachment and people-pleasing/ codependency. My approach includes exploring and working with emotions, body sensations, and thoughts related to anxiety. Therapy with me also includes building skills to regulate the nervous system and addressing underlying contributing factors to anxiety, such as trauma.

Stress is a common part of daily life. From work to household responsibilities, maintaining relationships, caregiving, and creating time for self-care and doing things we enjoy, daily life can feel like a lot! In our "go-go-go" society, work stress can be particularly challenging to balance with the rest of our needs and wants. I work with people to identify current stressors and develop solutions to create more balance in life.
