By evoking in-born positive qualities, such as courage, kindness, calm, and inner strength, clients notice the unhelpful habitual patterns of thoughts, emotions and beliefs that have been blocking these innate qualities from arising.

I am a body-based (somatic) therapist and integrate client-centered talk therapy in sessions. Since 2006, I have developed a style of therapy focused on integrating the mind and body through practices that evoke positive psychological qualities.
We’ll talk about where you’ve been and where you’re going. We’ll work to create a present and future that you feel good about and that you look forward to.

In working with me, we will slow down and hold space for your emotions, and we’ll consider and explore new possibilities for how you relate to yourself. You’ll likely feel more hopeful and more compassionate toward yourself as well.
Increase your self awareness, patterns in your life, and how you are relating to yourself and others. We will work together to let go of stress, anxiety, the past, to heal and move forward.

My approach is pragmatic and compassionate. I want you to leave a session with something new meaning perspective, things to try, or a different way of seeing yourself. I also use EMDR and a somatic approach to help you connect your mind and body.
We'll explore how you feel about yourself, your relationships with others, and any stresses in your life. We will explore topics including healthy boundaries, coping skills , self esteem, relationships, and burnout.
