Welcome
Integrative Therapist + Somatic Practitioner
As humans, we all face painful and difficult circumstances in our lives. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, relationship challenges, low self esteem, unresolved trauma, or disordered eating, it's an honor to support you as you work towards transforming pain and challenges into connection, growth, and meaning.
Holistic • Embodied • Trauma-Informed
MY Approach
My approach to counseling is informed by attachment theory, somatic and mindfulness-based modalities, and psychodynamic therapies that honor the way in which our past informs and shapes the way we walk through the world. We'll work together in a collaborative and integrative way, weaving in different modalities and tools to address your specific needs.
I focus on you as a whole person, building on your inherent strengths and resources while exploring the goals and values that guide you. I am trained in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Somatic Parts Work, and Integrative Somatic Trauma and Attachment Therapy. Prior to being trained as a psychotherapist, I spent over a decade working intimately with women as a certified nutritionist, massage therapist, and yoga teacher.
In working with your whole being, counseling can support you in cultivating a deep sense of confidence, groundedness, and resiliency in the midst of whatever life brings. My hope is that our work together may guide you home to yourself and equip you with the tools to navigate the wilderness within with more courage and compassion.
Professional Training
I endeavor to be a forever student, engaged in my own work and expanding my understanding and skills through continuing education so that I may better serve my clients.
