Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.

Jean-Paul Sartre

  • As a trauma trained therapist, I believe in the mind body connection. I acknowledge the power of addressing trauma somatically in addition to talk therapy. Where words may fail, we will explore the effects of trauma through the work of sensorimotor therapy.

    Tapping into the wisdom that your body holds, we will process the unconscious ineffective patterns that may be blocking you from being present and engaging in your life.

    We will address the emotional dysregulation that often comes with an activated nervous system. You may recognize this in your life as feeling overwhelmed, frustration, struggling to have meaningful relationships, hopelessness, low self-esteem, dissociation, or shame.

    Through the use of pragmatic evidenced based tools, you will develop skills to navigate difficult circumstances more mindfully and emotionally intact.

  • The goal of our work in couples therapy is to move towards security in your relationship with one another. This work aims to give you a deeper sense of connection while maintaining a felt sense of safety and respect.

    This entails exploring your shared vision and the ways in which you work together to move towards this. We will look at how your interactions with one another protect or degrade your relationship. In doing so, we will examine your patterns of engagement and explore new ways of relating that strengthen your collaboration and understanding of each other.

    Serving the objective to increase emotional intimacy and stability, you will develop skills to deescalate tension, manage conflict, and repair the relationship.

  • As we go through life, we are inevitably confronted with loss. Unmet expectations, the death of someone we love, or a change in health can impact our sense of who we are. These changes can irrevocably alter our lives beyond recognition leaving us without a purpose, meaning, or identity. In looking at our loss we will be able to grieve our hopes. We will confront the reality of life not unfolding as we planned while facing the uncertainty that lies ahead.
