As a licensed psychotherapist, with over 20 years of clinical experience, I offer a personalized, holistic approach to healing that draws from the modalities of Somatic Experiencing, Neuro-Affective Touch, Internal Somatic Parts Work (IFS), NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), and mindfulness practices.

Treatment areas of expertise include PTSD, C-PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Challenges, Life Transitions, Self-Esteem/Self-Worth/Self-Love.

Many of my clients come to me after having spent some time in traditional, cognitive-based talk therapy. They know there is something deeper, within their body, that needs attention and healing. Symptoms might include unrelenting anxiety, chronic pain or tension patterns, numbness, dissociation, or other emotional, behavioral, or relational patterns that continue to show up in spite of the cognitive insights or behavioral shifts that have occurred with the help of past therapy.

Our bodies are the keepers of our experiences; therefore, it is imperative that we keep the the body in mind for deep healing, nervous system reset and post-traumatic growth.

The guiding tenets of my practice include authenticity, compassion, and the creation of a non-judgmental space where everyone is welcome.
