My Approach to Helping

I infuse this work with compassion and curiosity, incorporating elements from complementary approaches to meet you and what you bring. While hearing from the varied influences affecting your experience of life, we honor your pace and encourage the guidance of your inner knowing and innate capacities. In taking time to grow awareness of your inner and outer life, room is made for increased connections and understanding, paving the way for new choices and desired shifts. This bringing of focused, caring attention to what surfaces in session helps to improve the ability to notice and make sense of patterns, tend to feelings and sensations, address limiting beliefs, find clarity, discover resources, build trust, and deepen resilience. The work we do unfolds as we attune to and address what matters to you.

My Values as a Therapist

My training includes an M.S. in clinical mental health with a somatic emphasis and 2+years of study in the Hakomi method through M.E.T.A (Mindful Experiential Therapy Approaches). Ongoing studies I engage in include deepening my learning about the relationship between chronic pain/conditions, the mind-body connection, and regulation. I value drawing from approaches that facilitate growth in awareness, self-compassion, self-acceptance, regulation, agency, and resilience. Informed by what arises in our work together, I may incorporate elements from mindfulness-based, body-centered, emotion-focused, relational, psychodynamic, or existential therapies. For the time being, I offer telehealth video sessions only.
