I am so grateful you're here.

You may be well versed in the therapeutic process or reaching out for the first time. Either way, you’re likely listening to the nudge within that knows things can be different. Our bodies and mind can in fact change and want to be well. The science supports what your heart wants! I work with individual adults who hope to re-connect to their inner selves, expanding beyond the many patterns and beliefs that keep them stuck. Let’s be real: Most of us don’t want to struggle so if it was as simple as deciding to get over whatever is/has happened, we likely would. Past events and traumas don’t just live in our head but are imprinted into our bodies and held in our subconscious, meaning, we can be impacted long after something occurred. When these past events continue to have power in the present moment, it’s a cue that there is a memory, wound, energy and/or feeling needing attention. While it’s tempting to dismiss, minimize, resign to or shelf this, our entire being is communicating to us. Therapy is one of many ways to process these experiences. Through a relational and somatic approach, you’ll connect to what’s within and develop new ways of being to live life more freely and fully you. I hold to an ethic of belonging, respect and equality, working with you as a partner towards growth and healing defined by you. I work to create an experience that is safe and inviting so all of who you are feels welcome.

I want you to have a meaningful experience in therapy

To ensure we are a good fit, I invite you to consider the following: 

Are you curious about and/or open to:

 

  • Connecting inward with an open heart

  • Exploring emotionally uncomfortable experiences/sensations

  • Working with parts of yourself that keep you stuck

  • Expanding beyond talk therapy as usual (although this is still very valuable)

  • Exploring root causes of everyday struggles

  • Considering how the past informs current patterns

  • Reconnecting to your true self/inner wisdom

  • Committing to healing work

 

Through our work, you may learn to:

 

  • Understand and disrupt long-held patterns of defense, emotion, thought, behavior, and relationship

  • Recognize, respond to, and regulate your nervous system

  • Relate to your body, and what it holds within, with curiosity and compassion

  • Work with explicit and implicit body memory

  • Get to know parts of you that are hurting, tired, protective, and burdened

  • Connect to and re-parent your inner child

  • Relate to self and others with more ease and understanding

  • Resolve past hurts, grief, and trauma

  • Tap into safe communities of support

  • Reclaim in yourself what has been lost, forgotten, or conditioned away

  • Mindfully attend to yourself, others, and the environment around you with awareness and intention

  • Let go of what no longer serves you

  • Rediscover the truth of who you are
