About My Clients

My clients often come to me struggling with navigating relationships, life choices, and behavior patterns that are no longer serving them. Often these patterns come from cultural or family expectations that aren't working in our modern world. In addition to emotional pain, I also specialize in treating chronic physical pain, so my clients often hurt, metaphorically and literally. I am there to help ease the pain and guide you into a more joyful and peaceful place in your life.

My Background and Approach

My approach is to blend traditional psychotherapy, which emphasizes your mind’s thoughts and feelings, with somatic therapy and mindfulness. Using a combined mind-body approach allows me to tailor my approach to you and your unique needs. We will also laugh. That isn’t what most people think of when they think of therapy, but growth can be joyous, and we will find those moments and embrace them along the way. Regardless of what approach we decide on, I believe the most important part of therapy is establishing a safe and authentic connection.
