As a Somatic Counselor, I recognize that our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our physiology. Using a family systems and communications lens, I practice constructivist therapy, focusing on the behavioral narrative of children, partners, and families. In my view, there is nothing that is not communicated. Whether or not it is verbalized is another question entirely. With a slowed-down opportunity to explore what's happening inside through experiential activities such as play therapy, Hakomi techniques, art, sandplay, constellation work, etc., it becomes possible to experience a different outcome. Ultimately, new experiences teach our brain new habits, supporting relationships with those we love.

I have been a psychotherapist in private practice for thirteen years. I work with individuals experiencing grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma and life transitions. I offer a compassionate, warm and non-judgmental environment. I use a holistic approach to therapy that includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and honors the relationship of mind, body and spirit. Working together, we will explore the meanings behind thoughts, feelings and behaviors that limit one's journey toward personal growth. We will create solutions to transform and overcome personal struggles. I tailor therapy to each individual’s issues, needs, concerns and goals. Pleased contact me for a 30 minute initial session at no charge to determine if your needs and my skills are a good fit.
