My Ideal Client

I work well with clients who are interested in mindful self-reflection that includes the body (somatic work), as a means of reducing unwanted mental noise, finding clarity of heart and thought, creating an increased and more sensitive relationship to themselves and others- and through those means creating more skillful choices, and a life that contains more preferred experiences. I use an eclectic and creative approach, and support aliveness and presence in my clients.

My Approach to Helping

I believe we can realize our most authentic, resilient, wise selves with the consistent caring presence of a non-judgmental witness. My specialization is mindful somatic psychotherapy (Hakomi method), and I utilize an attachment and trauma-informed lens. My history as an acupuncturist and energetic healer influences my practice. A deep respect for the intelligence of nature is woven into my work. I offer Mindful Compassionate Dialogue skills, and offer space and support for psychedelic integration. I believe in equity, diversity, fairness, justice, respect, and teaching history that includes references to racism, sexism, gender and sexual preference discrimination, and education that aims to establish a more just and compassionate society. You are welcome here.

My Values as a Therapist

My values as a therapist include supporting your agency, including respecting your body's pace in healing. I bring and encourage authenticity, not at the expense of respect or safety. I value consistency and stability of care, and a commitment to your wellbeing. I am dedicated to the work of mindful somatic therapy - as it shifts our state, and shifts the story - this allows us to make different decisions that can change a life. I hope you'll discover a greater sense of ease through our work.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Contemplative External link

    Although I use many styles of therapy (Rogerian, Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment), I often use mindfulness and contemplation, focused on somatics, to support clients in creating greater self awareness, acceptance, and pathways to change. Mindfulness is a non-ordinary state of consciousness in which we decrease stress, and increase potentials and possibilities to create new and lasting neural networks and access to our intuitive wisdom.
