About My Clients

I specialize in somatic therapy and trauma therapy, offering an integrative mind-body approach. My goal is to help you find a greater sense of ease after ongoing trauma/stress. I offer Somatic Experiencing sessions, which is a modality known for improving nervous system regulation. This may be a good fit for you if you have tried other therapy methods without sensing success, or feel as though your history is “too much.” I often work with individuals navigating ongoing health challenges, chronic

My Background and Approach

Before working as a therapist, I studied sciences at an international research university. That foundation, combined with experience in wilderness therapy, crisis mental health, and intensive youth services, shapes my approach. I have 300 hours of training in trauma-sensitive yoga and am an advanced-level Somatic Experiencing practitioner-in-training.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Those I work with are typically surprised by how subtle, yet impactful, our work together may be. I understand that we each may have different definitions of healing - and I seek to work in the field of “mental wellbeing,” not “mental illness.” The best way to reach me would be through my office at Aspen Counseling.
