About My Clients
My clients are looking for a different approach to therapy and healing. Our collaborative work is designed to help you generate results. We use a variety of research-backed methods to co-create new life experiences. This is not simply talk-therapy, most of my clients have tried that with limited results. We integrate mindfulness, somatic healing and other body-up approaches to help you learn to work with your nervous system and create a life you love living.
My Background and Approach
My adolescent experiences placed me on a personal health and healing journey from a young age. Inspired by excellent somatic-experiencing practitioners, acupuncturists and body workers, I decided to become a therapist to help others heal from trauma. I hold a Master's in Counseling with a major in Holistic Health Education. Licensed in 1999, certified in EMDR, mentored by Stanley Keleman and Craig Penner I blend a variety of somatic approaches to healing,. I help people heal, generate new experiences and grow more resilient. Our work doesn't just happen inside our sessions, it continues between sessions. Integrating a body-up approach with mindfulness practices turns suffering into flourishing. Many times our lives hand us difficult circumstances, human atrocities and challenges beyond our capacity. Together, we collaborate to generate growth, resilience and increase your capacity to navigate the challenges you're facing. Living a life you love is possible and important.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I value introspection, awareness and slowing down enough to notice ourselves. Many people move too fast through their lives to noice the necessary healing components that already exist within themselves. I rely on peoples' innate healing natures to help facilitate transformation. We all have innate healing drives within and a desire to be healthy, whole, well and integrated with nature. I live in Boulder, Colorado surrounded by natural beauty and as a ceramic artist I attend to the healing power of nature for myself and others.
