About My Clients

You are thinking yourself around in circles, unable to slow your thoughts and feelings long enough to rest. You feel like you cannot get past your situation or events in your history. In a world that often feels foreign I use my background in Sensorimotor therapy approaches to help you understand and navigate the terrain within and around you. You don't need to be fixed; you are not broken. You are living in a space which attempts to distance each of us from ourselves, our heritage, each other.

My Background and Approach

Mental Health is a western term to describe universal issues, regardless of socioeconomic status or geography. I offer a rest stop that let’s you understand the beauty in how far you have come and the tools you need for your next adventure. There is important work to be done even in the dark places and there is no need to do it alone. My extensive experience working with immigrants, refugees, wilderness programs and international students have shown me that talk is not the only route to resolve distress.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

The thing I'm best at as a clinician is making trauma and the body make sense, in plain English, no therapy voice required. I believe I can help your brain, your heart, and your body better understand what's happened to you. I believe in doing so, I can help take the sting out of past hurts, and empower you more fully and actively to choose your own path forward, and bring your best self that journey more mindfully and completely. I love teaching about trauma and the body because I find spreading that knowledge can be so powerful in demystifying some of the most terrible and terrifying moments. You deserve to understand the full weight and impact of what you're carrying.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
