Welcome!
We all need support at times to care for our internal and external worlds, and to dive into the depths of our often layered lived experiences. To care for ourselves in this way, we may need to pull up the weeds of adversities or traumas at a pace that feels right. I hope to offer a warm and compassionate atmosphere for you as you gently tend to the past while remaining rooted in the present. Through attention and intention in therapy, flowers of wisdom, curiosity, self-compassion, resilience, and hope can grow.
I work from humanistic and person-centered perspectives, and my approach to therapy is mindfulness oriented with a focus on the mind-body connection for healing. The common research supported therapeutic modalities I utilize are: EMDR, IFS, ACT, MBCT, MI, Positive Psychology, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy level 1, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and other mindfulness or somatic based interventions.
I individualize therapy to meet each person’s unique needs while always honoring the fact that they are the expert on themselves. I deeply admire people who have the courage to turn towards their vulnerable parts and to embark on a journey of personal growth and self rediscovery. I would be honored to partner with you on your healing journey in therapy.
