Here’s how I see therapy: it’s a sacred space where you can evolve.

It’s a container to explore balancing your doing and your being, your joy and your sorrow, and your needs and the needs of others.

Therapy is where you can generate compassion and where you can rewire what’s causing you suffering. It’s a place to drop into your own wholeness and holy-ness, within.

Therapy, like life, is an ever evolving process of rebirth. And you can think of me as your emotional midwife.

Maybe you are doing the most in these busy times, and still not feeling content. Perhaps you see your anxiety as a competitive edge, and aren’t sure how do life without it. What if I told you, that you can feel at ease, while still  being up to big things?

I’ll start with helping your mind feel safe enough to work with your body. We can nerd out on the neuroscience of how we heal, so you can trust the next few steps in this process. Next, we’ll explore your bodily sensations and the wisdom that lives there. Through practicing somatic interventions, you can release stuck patterns that are keeping you stressed.

I can help you integrate emotions, unmet needs, and stories that come up. As we get to know each other, our work deepens and you gain access to more of your creative flow. Life becomes more of a relational dance, and you learn to adapt to the steps.

I use a form of mindfulness centered somatic psychotherapy called Hakomi, that has roots in the Eastern Philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism. I love this work for its focus on non-violence and organicity.

If you are craving guidance with your intuition, I can also weave Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés teachings on the feminine principle and the Wild Woman archetype. Her teachings in her iconic psychoanalytical book, Women Who Run with the Wolves pair well with somatic psychotherapy. Both help you develop your inner voice, prioritize your ease, and reconnect with the natural world.

I am also trained in a trauma healing technique called Brainspotting. Brainspotting is targeted at healing neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain. I’m influenced by the principles of Peter Levine’s work with Somatic Experiencing, and Stanley Kelemen’s work with Formative Psychology. Lastly, I bring in some of Donald Epstein's work with Somato Respiratory Integration and use guided meditations adapted from the teachings of Richard Miller and Swami Satyananda.
