Available this week
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Grief, Life Transitions

Introduction

I'm passionate about helping people learn to trust their thoughts, feelings, and voice. With over 20 years of experience in the fields of teaching and craniosacral therapy, I've come to know that everyone has the potential to access their wisdom, vitality and goodness. ​ As a counselor, I will facilitate creating a therapeutic environment where building on your unique strengths forms the foundation upon which we will explore what is possible. I enjoy helping people find freedom from grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and stressful life transitions. My knowledge about how the brain and nervous system function forms a secure base which informs my interventions and suggested techniques. In sessions, I will use a trauma-informed approach that draws on concepts from somatic experiencing, internal family systems, lifespan integration, and acceptance and commitment therapy. We will utilize mindfulness concepts and emotional regulation techniques to provide you with the structures that facilitate change safely. Together we will explore specific and actionable steps that will allow you to find hope, and strengthen your relationships.
