With a focus on attachment and how our early experiences impact our current life, psychodynamic therapy allows us to get to the root of the challenge you are facing. The focus here is holistic as we explore relational patterns, fears based on connection with ourselves and others, and how our past has shaped our daily interactions. This type of therapy allows a deeper view into your experience and encourages an understanding of the origins of our belief systems that shape our reality.

Nature heals the soul. My work in nature allows our environment to be a reflection of our experience and highlight the inner strength within you. I provide outdoor ecotherapy sessions which allow you to connect with your 5 senses and explore your situation through a new perspective. Nature has a lot to teach us about change and I often find that experiences in nature empower the confidence within us to emerge. Our work outside provides deep grounding and connection.

Mindfulness sets the groundwork for the curiosity and openness necessary to heal. It creates a safe space to explore our inner selves and deep emotions and provides the grounding needed to be present with what comes up. I use mindfulness and somatic based interventions often with clients to help you connect your body and mind and be present with what is without judgment.

Anything that has happened to you that you have not been able to fully process is held in the body as trauma and can cause distress. There is healing for these experiences and the emotional impact they have on our connection with ourselves and others. I work primarily with complex trauma and sexual assault, although I have experience treating military based trauma as well. I am trained in trauma informed interventions and EMDR to assist your healing.

Exploring the origin of our inner critic and working to increase our self compassion is the basis of building confidence and a deeper understanding of ourselves. So often our negative thoughts or messages toward ourselves get in the way of our full potential. My passion is helping others to access the gifts within them and accept themselves as they are.

As women we carry so much and can at times feel overwhelmed with the demands of life, especially when we feel lost about who we are or where we are going. I work with women who are experiencing some kind of shift in life; maybe a break up/divorce, a change in career, or a loss or traumatic event. Despite society’s attempts to compare, devalue, or make you feel “less than,” I want you to see the true beauty within and find a sense of joy in who you are and where you are going.
