Accepting clients
Updated 3 days ago

I'm a warm and compassionate psychotherapist who is interested in authentically collaborating with my clients to collaboratively work toward their goals.

I work with with adults of all backgrounds and identities experiencing a variety of difficulties including anxiety, stress, burnout, adjustment, trauma, medical issues, professional transitions and development. I hope to collaborate with clients to bring greater awareness and acceptance to their present moment thoughts, feelings and body sensations. This awareness and increased connection facilitates exploration and processing of difficult experiences and creates greater opportunities to regulate through life’s challenges and stressors. I use my training in applied psychophysiology and biofeedback to inform my practice and guide clients to re-inhabit their body and befriend their nervous systems. I work with clients to explore how their body has developed strategies to protect them against stressors, both past and present, as well as how to identify new skills that may be more adaptive and sustainable in the present moment. My approach is grounded in the idea that you know yourself best. I draw from ACT, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and mindfulness and take a person-centered and holistic approach, inviting clients to bring their whole and authentic self into the space.
