I believe that every feeling in your body and mind has a story to tell about your past and your present, and healing begins when we listen with compassion to those stories. Whatever you are facing, together you and I will gently explore which parts of you are asking for more care, and where you might access more nourishment and resource. We will practice tools to help settle your nervous system and make challenging feelings less overwhelming. We will get curious about your inner world (including your feelings, your dreams, your creativity and imagination), strengthening your connection with your intuitive wisdom and sense of aliveness.

My work is trauma-informed and influenced by somatic therapy (helping calm your body so you have more space to address whatever is happening in the moment) and relational psychotherapy (practicing new ways of communicating and relating in therapy, as a sort of supported “rehearsal” or “lab experience” for life outside of the therapy room).

I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School and have studied somatic practices through a 60-hour Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate program with The Embody Lab.
