About My Clients
My work lends itself to clients who seek to gain or deepen the language of physical sensation as it relates to their emotions, thoughts, and behavior. I often see people with chronic pain, invisible illness, looping thoughts, and emotional flashbacks. Although these experiences may be related to trauma, anxiety, or depression, I prefer to view them as part of our journey toward becoming more fully human.
My Background and Approach
I entered the counseling profession later in life, after working in community development, science education, recovery support, and integrative bodywork. The weaving of my past experiences and engagement with people is present in the room when listening to stories. My clients and I work together to design a treatment to aligns with their symptoms, learning style, processing pace, and intentions for self.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Science tells us that stress patterns and relational trauma are stored in the body's memory as much as the mind's - so it's ideal to retrain the nervous system. I believe quality therapy does this though an integrative model - working to repair social disconnection, increases a sense of internal safety, and reduces both emotional & physical suffering.
