About My Clients

Are you interested in changing patterns that have you stuck? Would you like support exploring how your lifestyle, upbringing, thoughts or sense of overwhelm impact your choices and how you experience life? I work with healthcare workers, entrepreneurs, educators, those in tech and other professions. Many of my clients need support from difficult experiences with family, coping with experiences with mentally ill family members or renegotiating minor traumas/stressors from family, work or life.

My Background and Approach

Sometimes clients don't know why they are stuck and need support exploring and reflecting on their experiences. I love using somatic experiencing and other processing modalities to help people process difficult experiences, to create more awareness and more mind-body connection. My approach is eclectic, and I collaborate with clients on their therapeutic goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Life is simple and yet ever-so-complex. There is always a place for learning and growth. We are more connected than we understand. Privilege does exist, and I benefit from it. We all make mistakes, sometimes. Accountability and grace are both important. Many of us are doing the best we can, most of the time. People are inherently good. We are in this together. We can change, grow and learn at any age. I believe that much of modern life increases modern suffering. I am interested in exercise and nutrition and other lifestyle factors, because it really is all connected to your physical and mental well-being. As someone who believes in doing their own work, I believe you can do the work, too.
