About My Clients

I have advanced training in the mind-body approaches of Pain Reprocessing Therapy and Somatic Experiencing to support trauma healing and nervous system resilience. Many of my clients come to me after years of frustrations with medical issues and need a new way to be in their body. I also work with many men who come to therapy to figure out their feelings and find richer ways to connect in their relationships.

My Background and Approach

I draw from 10 years of experience in many settings, including leading groups in psychiatric hospital, supporting families in their homes, and working with adults and couples in private practice. I blend relational, somatic (body-focused), narrative, and skill-building modalities. There is no "cure all" therapy, just like there is no formula to being human. The path we take will come from listening to what's stuck in your life, discovering what you need, and working together to create a plan that fits for you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

A very incomplete list of books and names of those who have influenced me and my personal beliefs: How to Do Nothing and Saving Time by Jenny Odell Mating in Captivity by Ester Perel Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine Come As You Are and Come Together by Emily Nagoski The many books by Dan Allender Anti-Diet by Christy Harrison The Way Out by Alan Gordon Polywise and Poly Secure by Jessica Fern The Other Significant Others Rhaina Cohen And an ongoing amount forever more!
