About our Work together……..

I am a trauma-informed therapist. I work with those expressing with addictions, eating disorders, mood and personality disorders, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I assist those with anger issues, self-loathing and despair to understand the roots of these challenges and free themselves from the torment they cause. I help couples, families and friends learn how to better communicate, deepen intimacy, attune and own their individual wholeness. I believe that trust and security are at the heart of all lasting and loving relationships. I am especially adept at working with physical challenges that spring from psychological conflict. I have found that working psychologically almost always mitigates physical challenges. At the basis of my work is the concept that diagnoses describe symptoms. I chose to work with the person not the symptoms. I do this by actively dissolving defenses and armoring in order to grow the authentic self. With steady attunement and empathy, insight and intuition, and sometimes charged confrontation, real change is possible. I wish for our experience together to be enlightening, enlivening and a place to renew the wander and awe of life. I am also a keen advocate of fearless authenticity. I wish for you to show up as all of you, feeling free to bring your negativity, bring the places you wish to hide, bring your greatest fears as well as your most wondrous dreams. I believe the only way we can truly change is if we are honest with ourselves. That which we disown in ourselves ends up owning us.

I work individually and believe that the one-on-one support can serve as important re-parenting in areas of developmental need. I believe consistent one-on-one support can rebuild secure attachment and with it, faith in one’s sense of stamina, tolerance and patience inner and inter-relationally.

I also work relationally. The power of relationship to heal is bar none. I work with couples, families, and I love to work with close friends. I specialize in mother-daughter relationships. I can help you learn to truly listen and to clear the ghosts in your relationships that are haunting your capacity to deeply connect with the ones you love.

Due to my extensive experience in working with the body as a creative performance artist, Pilates teacher and Chiropractor, I am uniquely positioned to assess and attune to the language of the soma. I am educated in neurology, nutrition and physiology in a way that enables me to guide the path of healing from a grander holistic lens. I can provide physical and mindfulness tips, tools and skills to help bolster the psychological work we do. When it is time to engage in biophysical work, my background as a physical health practitioner adds a layer of specificity as well as masterful nurturance.

I pay attention not only to what you say; but how you say it. The language of your body communicates so purely and honestly and gives me direct access to the state of your nervous system. Subtle cues in session will address your body to assist you in understanding yourself and learning how to recalibrate your senses to a balanced and enlivened state.
