Using a present-centered and body-aware approach, I aid clients in restructuring core beliefs.  In this way, getting “unstuck” is not limited to talk and intellectual analysis, but rather becomes a journey that unfolds through your direct and felt experience in the here and now.

I have specific training in Gestalt Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), The Enneagram, and mindfulness-based approaches. Specialties include helping clients move from anxiety to trust, from depression/isolation to connection, and from self-destructive behavior towards self-esteem and self-actualization.

I believe in my clients’ innate inner wisdom, and challenge them to take ownership over their process.  My style is compassionate, curious, and honest.  My work is influenced by a strong theoretical understanding of attachment, trauma, and neuroplasticity. I hold the highest regard for the relationships (be they friends, partners, coworkers, or family) that are significant in your life.  Our work is not a replacement for meaningful connections outside of therapy but rather a bond that travels alongside them, and allows you to move away from old patterns and dynamics into deeper and fuller ways of connecting and finding nourishment.

I create a space for you to develop yourself – body, mind, and spirit.  Potential areas for change include:

• Worry, anxiety, or fear
• Depression and feelings of isolation
• Indecision/Lack of Direction
• Self-destructive behavior
• Anger/aggression (towards self and other)
• Grief and Loss
• Transitions
• Shut down or cut off from your feelings
• ‘Self medication’ with food, alcohol, or other substances
• Trauma
• Coping Skills
• Low Self Esteem/Shame
• Relationship Issues
• Family-of-origin Issues
• Spiritual Growth
