Personal discovery and growth is one of life's greatest challenges but also provides one of life's greatest rewards. Through my own healing journey to address childhood trauma, I did many years traditional talk therapy. While I found this to be helpful, it wasn’t until I discovered somatic experiencing (SE) therapy that I began to experience a deep settling in my body and mind in a relatively short period of time. This settling of the nervous system can lead to a newfound sense of feeling present and engaged in life. One gains more capacity to experience positive emotions, tolerate negative emotions without becoming overwhelmed.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience. I use a relational, interactive approach to psychotherapy. Through SE, I utilize the experiences of both the body and mind to help facilitate the therapeutic process. I value the connection that I have with my clients and believe that connection is integral to the therapeutic process.
Deciding to go to therapy can be a difficult process and finding a therapist who is the right fit for you can seem like a daunting task. I offer a free initial phone consultation so you can get to know me and my approach to the process and I can hear a little about why you decided to seek therapy.

Groups
Through the Chaos: Mommy Support Group
NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING: Parenting can bring about a number of difficult feelings, including fear, uncertainty, self-doubt, & overwhelm. With it comes many thoughts, questions, & concerns...how do I balance it all, does anyone else feel this way, am I a good mom? Oftentimes we as moms are unexpectedly faced with symptoms of post-partum anxiety & depression. Motherhood can even cause memories of our own childhood trauma to resurface. While seeking support can be challenging, bonding with other moms can provide newfound hope, understanding, and connection. Join Lauren Fournier and Nicole Thorn, psychologists who are also moms.
