About My Clients

Are you standing at a crossroads and not sure which way is right for you? Maybe your crossroad is grieving the death of a loved one, facing how to cope with a loved one’s terminal illness or finding your way through another major loss, like a divorce or separation. Maybe it's a new romance or new parenthood. Maybe you're thinking about changing careers or retiring. Maybe you want a deeper and closer connection with yourself, friends or family. Or maybe you've realized things just need to shift.

My Background and Approach

Working together, we’ll create a space where you’ll have support to explore your life transition and learn more about your authentic self. I believe my role as a therapist is to be a companion on your journey. That means, you're the driver of your life (and therefore the sessions!) and I am here to offer guidance and support. Each session will be different because we'll focus on whatever is most important that day and time for you. I have training in somatic approaches to therapy, which means that we'll spend time slowing down and getting in touch with what you're actually feeling in your physical body. From there, we'll explore your parts - the thoughts, feelings and emotions that are coming up. You'll develop a greater ability to feel steady and comfortable in your body and a deeper understanding and capacity for self-love. With this ease, you'll be able to face your transition with courage and resilience.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I think it's our work in therapy, and in life, to get to know all of the different aspects of who we are (our parts) and love each of them. It is that self-love and inner wisdom that helps us overcome our difficulties and lead us to greater peace. I know, firsthand, the journey (and remission!) of depression as well as recently finding my way in recovering from birth trauma (and all the messy symptoms that come along with living and surviving a trauma). From being on both sides of therapy, I know how deeply healing it is to develop and cultivate an understanding and love for your Self (and all your parts). I believe in the sacredness of all people, that we are all interconnected and that everyone is welcome.
