I operate under the assumption that we are naturally inclined towards healing but sometimes require guidance and exploration in order to experience transformation. Therapy is a space that is useful for most people to explore and resolve their inner conflicts. My approach is gentle and warm, yet very active.

​

When we first meet for a consultation, we will discuss what is currently bringing you into therapy as well as all aspects of your life story. It may be necessary to first focus on crisis management, relaxation techniques, lifestyle issues or practical problem- solving if you are feeling overwhelmed and needing immediate relief. We may then move on to work through developmental issues and how certain patterns that you have formed, may be preventing you from experiencing life in a way that feels satisfying.

 

I specialize in the treatment of unresolved emotional injuries from childhood, post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, grief and substance abuse. Much of my work focuses on helping people develop awareness of how their emotions, beliefs, and memories connect with body sensations, postures and movements. I find that through this awareness, deep healing and understanding of core issues can occur. I also treat acute trauma, that can result from accidents, medical care, interpersonal or community violence.
