If you are reading this page, it is likely that you, or someone you love, are experiencing frustration, worry, anger, stress, disconnection, or pain. Reaching out to a therapist can be difficult and filled with hesitation. As humans, we all need support from others. You have already taken a powerful step towards healing. You can begin to recognize, understand, and communicate your needs through connection and relationship.
I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages in a safe and supportive relational space. I am trained in and primarly utilize the "Somatic Experiencing" model, It taps into the innate knowledge that our bodies have to inform and help us heal. We'll use curiosity and compassion to re-connect mind and body through conversation and reflection.
I know first hand that sometimes the most nurturing and fulfilling aspects of our lives, can also be the most difficult to navigate. I have experienced loss, self-doubt, and power struggles in relationships. I believe in your individual and innate strength and would like to help you tap into it.
