My Approach to Helping

It is hard being human at times. You may feel down, or off track or just feel like you need someone you can talk to. You may feel aspects of the past impinging on your future. You might be hard on yourself, or life has been, and you want some peace or missed vitality. You can feel better and you can have joy, sweetness, to know your self in way that feels more grounded. Its possible for the hurts to loose their power and to feel excited for your future, maybe for what feels like the first time, or again finally.

I use my training, life experience and innate humanness to do this work, to help you to discover or rediscover all of your strengths, talents, wisdom, and acceptance for yourself. Let's work together so you can move forward, resolve nagging issues, heal wounds. With sound theoretical skills, some playfulness, we'll talk and pay attention to your whole self, and get you feeling better, or clearer about the next steps to take in your life.

You have already started your healing by visiting the site, let's keep up the momentum of this positive step you have taken. I've been blessed to accompany people as the discover their joy, achieve their goals, grieve their sorrow and forge the life they want for themselves.

I use a Somatic approach, working with your body and mind to bring greater healing through relationship. With gentle yet intentional inquiry into emotional and physiological regulation states the disrupted nervous system can restore. Anxiety, memories and hurts that are stored as emotional energy in body can safely and gently release and aliveness can return, and one can experience resilience.

I draw from many theories, attachment, psycho-dynamic, object relations, relational, existential and more to provide you with a safe place to make change for yourself.
*I completed a 2 year training course in a somatic practice known as Somatic Transformation.
*I received a certificate of "Recognition For Outstanding Accomplishment" from The Alliance Community Psychotherapy Internship, from the Northwest Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study (NWAPS).
