About My Practice

I believe in the capacity of humans to heal and experience health. Therapy is an opportunity to develop and deepen your relationship to who you are and who you are yearning to become. I work collaboratively and intuitively with you to determine a therapy style that will best serve your needs.

I am trained as a trauma informed, somatic psychotherapist, with a masters degree in clinical counseling from the California Institute of Integral Studies. My work is greatly influenced by humanistic, relational, liberation, and psychodynamic modalities.

Somatic is defined as “of the body.”  As a psychotherapist, it is my belief that the mind and body are deeply engaged and connected, even when it might not feel that way. As a somatic practitioner I offer a space for the mind and body to dialogue and unite.

How do we engage your body in psychotherapy? Every person shows up to therapy with a unique life story and therefore how we will engage your body depends on your relationship with it. Often the first step is simply slowing down enough to recognize the feelings and sensations your body is experiencing and how they influence your thinking and understanding of self.
