My Approach to Helping

I take a holistic approach that honors the physical, psychological, and spiritual parts of self to promote deep healing. My practice is grounded in Jungian/psychodynamic theory that integrates somatic experiencing, trauma-informed and cognitive approaches. PMDD can be excruciating. While there is a legitimate biological component to PMDD that differs from PMS, I also see menstrual symptoms as a call to deeply listen to your body's wisdom and challenge patriarchal attitudes and conditioned responses to the menstrual cycle. One way I help people with this is through a practice called Menstrual Cycle Awareness (MCA). This involves learning new methods to chart your cycle and techniques to build self-understanding through a cyclical practice that respects and honors your body's unique rhythms.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe each person has a natural tendency towards healing, and my role is to support your unique path. I find dreams to be invaluable for healing and encourage folks to explore their dreams in and outside of therapy. I use Menstrual Cycle Awareness (MCA) in my practice to help folks develop a deep connection with their bodies. No cycle is the same. Together, we’ll get to know your body’s unique phases and how they influence your body, mind, and spirit. Rather than trying to control your menstrual cycle for relief, we'll listen to your body and learn what it needs to be adequately supported.
