“We don’t see the world as it is, we see it as we are.” ~ Anais Nin
Hi, and welcome to my practice page. I hope you find some helpful information on your journey here.
Whether you’re navigating the depths of profound loss, caught in recurring relationship patterns that leave you feeling stuck, or struggling with overwhelming emotions that consume your days, I want you to know: you don’t have to untangle these knots alone. Together, we can create space to explore what feels impossible to face on your own. I am here to help you find what you need, in yourself, to grow into a more self-aware, courageous, and compassionate version of who you are now.
How I Work
We are so often unaware of the patterns we hold in our bodies and minds that keep us stuck in our ways of thinking and going about our lives. This is why I work somatically in my practice. “Somatic” simply means bringing the body into our awareness as we process. We will work together with your nervous system to help you learn how to understand your own triggers and better soothe yourself on your own so you don’t have to be reliant on therapy indefinitely. As we learn to listen to what with are experiencing in our bodies with open curiosity, real and lasting change becomes possible. We can go beyond cerebral understanding to embodying a sense of self-trust, clarity, resilience, and integrity, and feel proud of who we are, knowing we did the hard-earned work of getting there.
Why Therapy Matters Now
It can feel hopeless and overwhelming to address our own mental health with all the collective grief, trauma and instability of our times in the background. My goal is to help you feel more internal stability to hold yourself while living in a world where so much is out of your control. In our work together, I can accompany you in learning how to increasing your capacity to be with the difficult feelings and sensations so you can gain insight, learn tools, and take action in new ways.
