About My Clients

I work with individuals and couples. Issues related to anxiety and depression, trauma, relationships, parenting, grief, transitions and navigating the ups and downs of ones 20s and 30s.

My Background and Approach

I was inspired to become a therapist after experiencing first hand the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, and how psychotherapy can help untangle our issues and help us grow more fully into ourselves. I use a somatic, trauma oriented approach, which can be particularly helpful for anxiety, depression, trauma and body image struggles. I also employ an attachment orientation, looking at our earliest relationships and how they shape and impact our present worldview and intimate interactions. Other philosophies and modalities that influence my work are mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Hakomi, Authentic Movement, shamanic practices, and eco-therapy. Additionally, I have personal and professional experience with positive parenting approaches,.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we all have an inner wisdom that guides us as we grow into ourselves. My role as a therapist is to hold space, safely support deepening into that which is more challenging, and honor my client’s own unique growth process. While therapy can certainly be hard work at times, it is one of the most rewarding gifts one can give to oneself, and I believe we all deserve to access this healing work.
